A great day ahead I think...

So...

Today is Friday, this week has been a pretty amazing one I have to say...so many wonderful things have happened and work experience has been better than I thought it would be. I'm smiling on the inside haha.
Well, I won't be able to post anything after work today because I've got an amazing church program coming up, it's going to be AWESOME. It's an annointing service, they only have those once a year. I still remember the last time I went, I was about three years younger and I didn't know God the way I do now, heck, I hardly knew Him at all! But even then, His presence that night brought me to my knees. His presence was so real and tangible that night that it was insane, it felt as though I was breathing Him in, my every thought that night was centered around Him.

"When I walk by the wayside, He is along with me. When I enter into company amid all my forgetfulness of Him, He never forgets me. In the silent watches of the night, when my eyelids are closed and my spirit has sunk into unconsciousness, the observant eye of Him who never slumbers is upon me."

I left with such hope for my future and I love services like that, the ones where you can just feel that something amazing has taken place in your spirit.
But yes, today's one will be amazing...
I'm looking forward to the rest of this day, it's going to be great...
So have an awesome day wherever you are, no matter what you're doing 'kay?
Buh-bye now :)

Ah, I just have to write...haha

So...

Another day of work today, I can already say that once the work experience thing ends, I'm going to miss it so bad. I swear, if I didn't have to be at school every week day, I'd want to work there for real. I've been pretty blessed, learning so much about myself and others. Having the chance to work so closely with kids has been pretty amazing because I was forgetting what it meant to be a child.
Okay, so I'm fifteen, I'll always be a child, though I'm becoming more and more of an adult each day.
I'll always be God's baby, it's a pretty little position I hold there haha.

But yeah, it's weird how rediscovering what it means to be a child has helped me understand what it means to be an adult.
Trust me when I say I have absolutely nothing figured out.
What do I know right now? God loves me, I love Him, I've surrendered my life to His, I know Him, He's the love of my existence. That is what I know, and it's weird how knowing this one thing can be the very path to knowing everything else.

"As the deer pants for water Lord, I pant for You today. My soul, it longs to be with You"

Another thing, the people I work with are hilarious, they get along really well and that makes me really happy. I am so blessed to be a part of their daily lives, even if it's just two weeks. The funniest part was when we had a meeting today, there were many funny things trust me, I can't even type them on here. You just needed to be there.

They've really made me see even more how much I love people, God's kids are amazing, seriously, this is no joke. There's so much wonder and so much to be loved in every human being that it's insane sometimes. It always makes me smile to think how they are all so different, it's beautiful actually.
And then there's one of the most amazing people in the world, my sister Mina can make me laugh like no other. She's insanely beautiful but equally, she's got character and she knows how to bring a lot of joy to my life. She escorted me back from work and we were laughing most of the time. I love her.
Then there's my brother/best-friend Precious, my partner in crime, I feel like I haven't had a chance to see him too much this week, I miss him a little in fact but I think it's good for the both of us.
Anyhoozer, these are some of the things I just had to say.

What I'm living for...

So...

I've been thinking a lot lately, about life, about why I'm here, it's so weird to me sometimes, the way life just keeps on moving, sometimes it reminds me of how when you're on a train, and you look out the window, you can't see the details properly because the train is going so fast..that's what life feels like to me sometimes.
A short while ago, I was five years old, now I am fifteen...
Thinking about my childhood, it really does feel like yesterday, it doesn't feel like a couple of years ago...

"We are not humans on a spiritual journey, we are spirits on a human journey"

In this life we live, we try to fill ourselves with a variety of things, we always trick ourselves into thinking that we are self-dependent creatures but the truth is that we're not. There is a God in Heaven, who lives in the hearts of men, for me, He is the reason why I am alive, He is the reason why we're all here. For a long time, I tried to fool myself, I tried to look for a way other than Him, but the truth is that, there isn't another way besides Him.

"Without the Way, there is no going, without the Truth, there is no knowing, without the Life, there is no living"

Every now and then, I find myself wandering away from God ever so slightly, and the emptiness I feel because of that is proof that I was created for Him. My purpose is life is to please Him, to follow Him. I don't say this because I was brought up in a Christian family, truthfully, it has little to do with it. I say it because this God is so present in my life, in my day, in my heart.

If you don't know Him, I'd encourage you to try, it's not about religion, it's not about where you're from, what you may or may have not done, it's the fact that the Creator of Heaven loves you - it's as simple as that. He loves you with a limitless, boundless love. :)

"The brevity of time casts no shadow, eternity, you say, time no longer a foe. When all that remains is my soul, to you I follow, wherever I go"

Buh-bye now :)

Ooh, some more thoughts I guess...

So...

Uh, hey there people, I hope some people are reading this blog, haha I'm a loser so doesn't really matter much to me anyway. I've really come to realise that this blog is more for me than it is for anybody else. Of course, I really hope that people can find something to relate to, something to laugh at, I hope you come away with something.
But yes, this is more about me getting my thoughts down somewhere and storing it somewhere...life goes by so quick sometimes that it's insane, days can be forgotten, and I don't want that to be the case with me, I want to remember the important bits, hence the title, which translates in english, "moments in the journey".
Okay so work was really great today, I think I worked hard, I did have a slight misunderstanding though, I made a mistake and couldn't stop beating myself up about it. I felt like such a prick at that moment seriously...but I realised that I can't let one mistake hold me back, you keep on living, your entire life doesn't just halt because of one silly little mistake.
Let's face it, life is anything but perfect but the truth is, I serve a God who is. He is the embodiment of perfection, my soul bears me witness in this fact.

"Only He can paint the sunset and the beauty of the rising sun. No human hand can match it, though millions of paintings are done."

The fact that I, imperfect and flawed as I may be, having the One who holds the heavens, the God who has everything, having Him as my everything, as my Friend, my Father, my eternal Companion, it's amazing.
I don't strive for perfection anymore, I strive to make Him happy, with the way I live my life, I want Him to smile when He thinks of me, this is the reason why I do everything I do.

Buh-bye now :D

Uh, second one today...

So...

Today is what? Wednesday now, I think it's been kind of a slow week actually. The other weeks up until this one pretty much just flew by. Going to go dressed for work in about an hour and a bit. Excited for it, still getting into the routine of being a working girl. The first day was the hardest though...it felt so weird saying, "I just came back from work". Haha, I'm laughing at myself, I can be such a child sometimes.

Still haven't gotten to writing that song yet, "Awake In The Night", pssh, who knows, I might be able to get some things down when I'm on the bus.
What am I doing right now? Listening to some beautiful piano music, I love days like these. My mum is sleeping upstairs so I really get to have the place to myself. Plus, I'm keeping an eye on the laundry, just consumed an entire bag of popcorn. Went on to Selena Gomez's twitter page today, she actually seems like a lovely person. :)
I'm just thinking about how I need to allow myself to be empty so that God can fill me properly, I'm always stuffing my life with junk, there's always a new obsession, I'm always going crazy with new fads, it's a bad way to live and I really need to stop. I need to think about who I am, I know who I am in Jesus and whenever I wander away from Him, I seem to forget a lot of important things and life doesn't even make sense.
Right now, listening to Brian McKnight's and Mariah Carey's "Whenever You Call", I pray I can find a love like that one day, to be so infinitely connected to another human being, it'd be the best thing ever.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to save myself for the person I decide to spend the rest of my life with. I like the idea of being able to say that you reserved your entire heart for a singular person. Of course, my heart belongs to God, it is eternally His, and that's the only way it's safe. I can't say that I won't get my heart broken but I know that it's in good hands, and those hands are capable of fixing anything.

Buh-bye now :D

"My dreams aren't gone. My heart is in one piece.
My King I will serve, until the great wedding feast."

So yeah, these are just random thoughts I've been having...
Don't expect me to make too much sense in these posts haha...:P

It appears that I'm on a roll here...

So...

First blog of the day...
I'd like to say it'll be the only but who am I kidding?
I'm just too excited about this right now and I obviously have too much to share with people, or get out of my system, either way, the outcom is the same...
I'm a lean, mean, blogging machine, haha...
It's 01:19 right now, and the sensible thing to do would be to go to bed right?
But no...
And to make matters worse, I have a song idea brewing in the back of my mind, and heart, they're both responsible for the songs I write.
I'm getting this idea of a metaphor; being awake in the night has something to do with love. Being alert, I guess when you've just had your heart broken, you can't sleep peacefully anymore, you have to stand guard over your heart.
This is really weird considering I've never had my heart broken, I don't plan to but it could happen.

"Every morning I wish it were night again,for it is only at night and in the depth of my dreams that I can feel you, and you still belong to me."

Uh huh, a song title's coming and everything, "Awake In The Night"...hmm, maybe I should change that, I probably will.

Nevertheless, this should be a completely written song by the end of the week at least.
And when I'll get to compose it, I don't know, work experience hasn't left too much space for my music so the weekend maybe...?
Anyways...

Signing out, for now at least...

Um...thoughts, I guess...

So...

I've been itching to write something, I tried to tell myself that it'd be best to wait until tomorrow, because this is what I usually do when I start something new - I completely exhaust myself until I can do it no longer. I don't want that to be the case with this blog, regardless of whether people read it or not. I want to keep this on for as long as I possibly can, because I want to read this in about a year's time and find that I've actually devoted myself to something long enough to follow it through.

This blog is about life, and even my life's not that boring, so I should have a fair amount of things to show you every day.

I can be quite funny when I want to be, although my writing is rarely ever funny but I'll try and be as frank as I possibly can 'kay?

Anyhoozer, today was the second day of my work experience and it went very well.

I can be a bit dumb sometimes and I need to have things thoroughly explained from time to time, such was the case when I arrived at work today. It was a simple task but it took a while, I wandered aimlessly for a while contemplating whether or not to actually ask for help or just find my own way. I don't know if it's pride but it's definitely something that needs to go. One of the crappier parts of my character I guess. Anyways, I did ask for help and that was that, it was sorted, why didn't I just do that in the beginning? I still don't know...

Another thing about work today; dealing with really talkative people. Ask anyone who knows me, when it comes to talking, I can TALK. I love to talk, even when it's utterly nonsensical ramblings, I'll talk your ears off if you give me a chance. But I am a quiet soul, I like to listen to God throughout the day and I like to take each moment for all it's worth, which often means not talking a lot. But yes, there was a lady who came at the beginning who just wouldn't stop, don't get me wrong, she was making sense with her words, but I like the quiet.

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.” - Mother Teresa

Okay so I obviously want to get this whole work experience thing right; I want to learn as much as I possibly can and I want to make my God proud, to make my family proud, to make myself proud, this is true. So I was silently rejoicing when I reminded my boss of an important detail that she herself had forgotten, earning an earnest "well done!" from her. I'm not kissing up okay? :P It's just nice to get.

On that note, I think I should start doing more of that, letting people know they're doing a good job, so many people, every day go out of their way for us, to serve us, I think we should let them know their efforts are not wasted but rather, appreciated. It goes a long way I think.

I got to go outside with the kids at the center today, it was rather nice and there's a little boy who I'm especially fond of, he's a real sweet heart. It's so weird for me sometimes because I'm reminded that not too long ago, I was them. A five year old child. It's just a bit weird to me now, I can't even remember what it's like to think that way.

But I'll always be a child, of course, I'm becoming more of an adult every day but undeniably, there's the little child that I'll always be.

So yes, these are just some things I just had to say. :)

Ah, the first one...

Hello there people of the cyber, internet world...anywho, you know who you are...:)

I'll just get the formalities out of the way shall I?
My name is Anita Daniella George, I am fifteen years old, it's a good age to be by the way. I am weird, I can be very irresponsible and very careless. I can be very collected or overly excited. I can be very modest and I can be flamboyant. I am often very obsessive, once I get my hands on a new latest fad or craze, I do just that, I go crazy. Though I'll point out right now that my biggest obsession is God. He's everything I think about, He's my heart. He is my beginning and my end. Everything in my life, everything I do and everything I am flows out of the relationship I have with Him.

"This life that we live is like a vapor. That appears for awhile then goes away."

I am a student right now, a good one at that, I can be very hardworking but I have my moments where I just can't be bothered. I am currently doing my work-experience, it's going very well so far.
I love music, music is in my heart, the same way it in my head. I play the keyboard quite well, I'm still teaching myself. I write some pretty good songs and I've been singing for nearly eight years. My sound is not an easy one to pin-point but I'll give you the names of some artists who I think I write and sound like - Brooke Fraser, Kate Voegele, Michelle Branch, Bethany Dillon, you should check them all out, they're phenomenal. I would give the name of an artist I sound like but I can't pin-point anyone specifically.
I'm into photography, life is precious and is worth capturing. My dream is to buy a crazy good camera, that would make me eternally happy.
I love my family; all of them, they're amazing, they're such a part of me, I couldn't even begin to explain. They make me laugh, they tell me the truth even when I don't want to hear it, they look after me and they love me even when I don't deserve it. To lose them would be to lose a part of myself.
My friends are the best, they're better than your friends :P They're the coolest, funniest, smartest people in the world and I love them to bits.
I'm single right now, I've got no plans to date anyone right now, my plan for these next few years is to know God better, to establish my romance with Him first, to figure myself out, and to figure out who I am outside of a relationship and to truly learn what it means to love someone. I'm not at all a casual dater so...
So yup, this is my small attempt at an interesting first blog, it's probably not very interesting, and you'd get to know me a lot better over a cup of tea or on a sunny day out but you get the basics. I'm very complex. I'm a lot of things. Feel free to read my blog every now and then, but don't go all stalkerish on me.
Then again, not many might read, which is OK too :)


Buh-bye now :D
