I don't know whereabouts my CD is so I can't write anymore of the lirics than that but it just felt so apropriate for today.
I woke up this morning with my mum telling me she was leaving for work and a penguin being thrown at me shortly followed by a polar bear, I wasn't dreaming as strange as it sounds it really did happen. Not the best way to be worken up especially as I had barely any sleep last night and it was filled with yet more strange and kinda scary dreams.
Today is my day off and I totally didn't know what to do with myself, usually I just mope around the house and don't do much of anything but I made myself walk into town to pay in a check I had. As soon as I stepped outside I was struck by the beauty and warmth of today, the sun is shining and everything just seems amazing because of it. Right now I'm sitting in my garden enjoying the wireless internet on my laptop and just listening to the sound of the birds. I'm not usually the type of person who is happy to just sit and reflect but being here right now I'm filled with a sort of peace that I don't often feel and can only come from God.
When I stepped outside this morning I realised that today really is a new day and that is such an amazing thing. It means that I get to leave behind all the rubbish things I've done and start to move on to fulfil my potential. I know that people have been trying to tell me this for years but I've never quite got it before. My church leader was talking on sunday about how we as humans forget things so easily but that God can remember everything, so when he says he has forgotten our sins it is not us forgetting it is becuase he has chosen not to remember, that's something that only God can do and something that we really need to honour him for. It's kinda a challenge for me because there are so many things that I hold against myself that cause me to be this shadow of who I could be, but the things that I can't let go of God has already forgotten and if God doesn't remember them what right have I got to keep hold of them?
I might add to this later when I've had a chance to just hang out with God and read my bible cause I'm sure that there are some great verses to go with what I'm saying. I just realy wanted to post this tho because it means that it becomes more than just a thought and I can choose to live out what I say. I want to put more energy into being the person God created me to be and accepting the love that people have for me, it might sound obvious but it has taken me this long to realise that if I stopped putting so much energy into pushing people away and trying to get the attention I need I would actually have more energy to work at accepting the attention people already give me! I know that it is not gonna be easy but healing and recovery never is, but I know that I am so lucky to have a group of friends that will help me out along the way by praying and being there so Thankyou...
