13 letters, 3 words, and 1 complete sentence

Hey there!

A few months back I got THIS here album by Caleb and Sol. It's free! I liked it a lot.
 

I thought I'll share with you the lyrics to the last song on their album. It is very haunting and Very true...

Jesus is Better

I’ve got 5 minutes to convince you of one thing.

Altogether, it’s 13 letters, 3 words, and 1 complete sentence.

And I hope you never forget it.

In fact, I hope it haunts you.

I hope you always remember these 13 letters, these 3 words, and this one complete sentence.


Jesus is better.


You say...Better than what?

I say...Better than everything else.

He’s better than any passing dream you might be chasing after.

He’s better than any worldly ambition that may have captured your devotion.

He’s better than anything that could distract you from doing what you were created to do.


Jesus is better.


He’s better than a 6-figure salary.

He’s better than a 3-story home.

He’s better than a trophy, wife, a job promotion, and a Caribbean cruise


Jesus is better.


He’s better than a starting position on the football team.

He’s better than a lead role in the spring musical.

He’s better than a 4.0. GPA, a college scholarship, and a nomination to homecoming court.


Jesus is better.


He’s better than money, cars, clothes, sex, entertainment, achievement, and popularity.

He’s better than anything this world can offer you.


Jesus is better.


He’s better than any person that has ever walked this earth.

He’s wiser than Gandhi and smarter than Einstein.

He’s more holy than Mohammed and more spiritual than Buddha.

He’s more eloquent than Shakespeare and more creative than Mozart.

He’s more powerful than Napoleon and more compassionate than Mother Theresa


Jesus is better.


The Bible says...

He’s better than Adam, better than Abraham, better than Moses, David, and Mary.

He’s better than the angels, better than the demons, and better than any prophet, priest, or saint.


Jesus is better!


And there will be times when it is hard to believe

Times when it doesn’t feel like Jesus is better

The world will hate you

Your flesh will fight you

The devil will lie to you

Storms will come

You’re gonna face disappointment

Deception

Betrayal

Rejection

Regret

Sickness and death

You’re gonna feel tired

Empty and broken hearted

Scared and alone
But don’t forget in the darkness what you learned in the light


Jesus is better


He’s the King of kings

And the Lord of lords

He’s the Prince of peace

And the Light of the world

He’s the friend of sinners

And the enemy of Satan

He is the Alpha and the Omega

The first and the last

The beginning and the end

He is the Way and the Truth and the Life


Jesus is better


And if you really truly believe it

Its gonna cost you

You’re going to deny yourself

Take up your cross and follow Him

You’re gonna help the poor

Swallow your pride

And love your enemies

You’re gonna read your Bible when you’d rather watch TV

You’re gonna pray when you’d rather sleep

You’re gonna serve when you’d rather be served

You’re gonna speak up, when you’d rather be silent

But when it’s all said and done...

You won’t regret it

You’ll say...It was worth it


Jesus is better


I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Jesus my Lord, for Whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I may be in Christ.


Jesus is better


So my hope for you isn’t that you’re safe, successful, and well liked.

Sometimes those are the very things that get in the way of what you cannot afford to ignore


Jesus is better


So if being unsafe, unsuccessful, and un-liked is what’s going to take you to see that Jesus is better, well then I’ll pray that your life is filled with danger, failure, and persecution.

Whatever it takes, I want you to know that


JESUS IS BETTER


Thirteen letters, three words, one sentence, and no question about it


Jesus is better...

Britain's Got Talent series 7 review

Hey There!

Warning!!!! if you still have to watch the series final and you don't want to know who won go away NOW!!



So the past few weeks mine family and I have been watching Britain's Got Talent series seven. Then after we watched the series final today I decided I will do an overall review of the entire series. So here goes.....

There has been a huge amount of talent featured in this series of bgt! I was very impressed by all the amazing acts there was to see (namely Attraction shadow theater.)

The best act of the entire series!!

Unfortunately there was some rather un-tasteful acts too. (namely the chair exercises lady and the seventy-one year old lady)

Then there was an insane amount of acts that left you thinking "Why didn't someone tell them they're just going to embarrass themselves?"

Poor girls, I was so embarrassed for them.

 

But overall I found this show very VERY entertaining.



The Judges


David Walliams- I found him rather inappropriate throughout the series. He was very irritating when he got so touchy with Simon. Although I think he's my least favorite judge, he was very funny when he refused to press his buzzer in some acts.

Isn't he wearing a lovely bathrobe?

I also laughed way to hard when I realized he plays this guy in Doctor Who.

Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden- I don't have any problem with these girls. They're sort of just there, enjoying themselves and maybe giving the occasional bit of advice here and there. They also seem to like wearing interesting dresses.

Isn't she pretty?

She's adorable

 Then of cause there's Simon Cowell- If you don't know who he is you haven't watched talent TV. I agreed with practically all of the things he said. This guy really knows talent when he sees it. If only he would get a different haircut.

Poor guy... He got egged in the final.

 The Presenters-

Who doesn't just love Ant & Dec? Seriously these guys are great!

They are the real stars of the show

Dec looks like he he could be Pippin's brother. 

In fact they pretty much are Merry and Pippin.

 The Auditions-

As I said earlier there was tons of talent...

This man was brilliant

I wish these guys went through to the final

Phillip Green is the human version of our dog Fudge

She was so shy

The Semi finals-

As I was watching the acts in the semi's I found myself saying "This act should go to the finals. No! this one! Wait this one!"
The competition was very high.

I think my least favorite acts were the obvious.

Seriously?

She tried a bit too hard to be a pop star

Then there's this guy..... you love him and you hate him at the same time.

Maarty Broekman!!!

THE FINAL

The final was very good!

It was hard to pick a favorite act. But in the end I was very pleased that Attraction won. They were actually the reason we started watching in the first place 

It's amazing what they can do with their bodies

I didn't like Asanda's performance. She has an AMAZING voice but her diva-ness really turns me off.

All in all I would give this series 7 out of 10 stars.



On another note...

My friend Clair left for America today. :'( I am very heartbroken about that.



Well this post is far too long. I'm surprised you've read so far.

I tend to be busier than I should be

Hello there!

Well.... I've been somewhat busy the past few weeks. My family and I moved a few days ago, and I had to help my dad move furniture about because my mom had fallen off stairs and tore some ligaments in her foot (she's okay now).

 I really, really, really like the house we are living in now....

Isn't it pretty?

So...A bit less than two months ago we decided we need to move.
After we had decided this, my mom was worrying where we'll find some beds for my sister and I (we were lending some from the house we were living in). A week later we had too many beds!

One of our friends told us we can take over their house. Literary. They are living in Canada and they don't think they'll be back full time in Malawi again, so they told us we can use what we want of theirs, and do with the rest what we think suitable... :O

I also got to re decorate my new room!

 Ze entrance

 Mah Bed

 The view outside my window

 Little trinkets I stuck on my wall

 As you may have noticed, I have a butterfly theme in my room

 This is Kitty (Galore). She's very lovable, but don't let her fluff fool you. She Will Bite! Don't say I didn't warn you....

 Smoky admiring her new dwelling place

We also have a real Piano now! :)

So yeah! I just thought I'll share these with you.

Enjoy your weekend!! ;D

Fudge the Puppy (a poem)

Hey there!

This is my contribution to NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month)......

A poem about  our puppy Fudge:

Twelve week old puppy

a bundle of joy

Bounds toward me

but then slips on a toy

I pick him up

and stroke his soft fur

But soon he jumps off

and turns back into a brown blur

When he is tired

of chasing me round

He goes behind the sofa

and becomes a sleeping mound

He cries very loudly

when we give him his bath

Though soon enough

he'll be making us laugh

His mother adores him

come see how they play

Until finally exhausted

on their backs they lay

Did you like it??

 

The World's Most Expensive Hotel 'Room'

I know I said I'm going to write short stories from now on but I haven't had the time to write them yet so bear with me....

One of my high school majors is tourism, and today I was doing some research for a project when I found this place.......

Hotel President Wilson

It is the Hotel President Wilson, and it is home to the world's most expensive hotel suite. (at least that was what I've been told)

Take a guess at how much it costs to spend the night in the Royal Suite.

$5,000?
$10,000?
$20,000?.....

It costs something like $53,000 for one night only!!!(Though I have seen someplace say $65,000. but that seems far too unbelievable)  (mind blown)

 But just look at this room, its AMAZING.... (but still, the price is far too reduncules)

 

 

 

 

The room takes up the entire top floor, has its own private elevator, four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a library ...I can't even remember the rest. It can accommodate up to 40 people, or something like that.
 
This is what the website says:

Royal penthouse

Known throughout the world as the largest and most luxurious of hotel suites, the Royal Penthouse Suite covers the hotel's highest floor. It is unique in terms of luxury and comfort and guarantees a maximum security level.

Quite a place!

Anyways..... I just thought I'll share that with you. I hope I didn't just bore you to death with my weirdness....

Tell me what you think of it.

A blogpost long overdue....

Hello there my lovelies!

OK.So ever since I started this blog I realized how unexciting my life is.
Sure, once in a while something new might happen but mostly everything stays normal. I am rather bored of writing about the same thing over and over, (also I don't think I'll interest many people much if every blog post look the same) so I decided I shall write about someone else's life. That would be fictional people.

I would really like to develop my writing skills and a writing blog would be the perfect place to do that.

I shall start by writing short stories and things like that. And I'd like for you guys to comment and give me some advise on things I should work on and stuff like that.



In other news...

Smokey's puppies are growing up so fast now. They discovered they can run this week, so they're all over the yard. Tina is visiting us again and she just adores puppies.

Well I can't really think of anything else to write about right now so I'll just say goodbye.



Ps: This arrived in the mail today....

It's a great story full of fun characters,evil villans, Air Pirates, clever detectives, and mysterious Inventors. I highly recommend it. The author is Miss Jack Lewis Baillot, whose blog you can find Here, and the illustrator is my best friend Clair, whose blog you can find Here.

Puppy Love

Last week Smokey had her puppies, all nine of them. (7 boys, 2 girls)
