celebrities

Which celebrities are you currently obsessed with?
All members of the Band U2
Actor Brendan Fehr
Footballer David Beckham
Actor Orlando Bloom

If you could have dinner with any celebrity, past or present, who would it be?
Bono! Without a doubt.
The man has everything; he knows how to party but he's also concerned with doing good for the people in the world who most people would rather ignore and forget. He's sexy, fun, smart and last but not least, Irish! I could listen to him talk for hours and hours. Plus, he is sincere and genuinely friendly to people no matter what their station in life. He doesn't have his head up his own arse, as he would say. :)


If I were going to be stranded on a desert Island and could have only three albums to listen to they would be:
U2- Achtung Baby
Greenday - American Idiot
Bowling for soup - a hangover you don't deserve

My personal motto

~ The only thing harder to let go of than love is hate.

This is something I have learned through my own experiences, but believe me when I say letting go of that hate is the best thing you can ever do for yourself! It's like drinking poison to keep hate inside of you.

More poetry

A call from the wilderness

My God, My God I search for thee
In every face and every deed
I love you and I fear you
I listen but do I hear you?
Why, God, Am I?
Am I what you want me to be?
How do I know?
Where do I go?
To see you, hear you, feel you
How do I know what you want of me?
How do I know what that is?
I love you God and I know that you love me
But the questions are still there
And you are everywhere
So I ask you, God, to guide me
And to ever be beside me.



All around

A friend asked me once, 'how do you know that God is real?'
And I told her I could only testify to the way I feel.
I hear a child laughing, feel a cool breeze on my face
I see a flower growing and I know God has touched this place.
I see the moon and all the stars , far too m any to keep count
I hear the waves against the shore and I know He is about.
God smiles at me in the autumn leaves and again in the setting sun
He waves hello with a gentle breeze; yes I see God in all the things he’s done.
He is with me everywhere, I need not look too far.
I hear a bird singing, and my heart says “God there you are.”
He is in me, in you; God is all around
He brought you to me and I will not let him down
God is here, beside you.
Can you see him now?
His love echoes in all creation.
Can you hear the sound?
People talking, music in the air...
You ask me where God is, and I say God is everywhere.



Faith

The snow is falling gently outside my window,
I can tell that it is cold,
but it is warm here with him,
he makes me whole.

It may rain, or sleet, or howling winds might stir;
but nothing on the outside can disturb
the warmth, the peace, the quiet inside
for I have heard His word.

Though the floods may threaten,
though the thunder may resound,
Nothing will ever take away
this Peace that I have found.

This world may try it’s best
to change my belief,
but try as they might,
God is my relief.

So outside it may threaten,
to rage and to storm;
no matter how cold the world,
I know God will keep me warm
