a forwarded email, but i think it's beautiful:
This morning when I awoke
And saw the sun above,
I softly said, "Good morning, Lord,
Bless everyone I love"
Right away I thought of you and said a loving prayer,
That He would bless you
specially,
and keep you free from care.
I thought of all the happiness a day could hold in store,
I wished it all for you because no one deserves it more.
I felt so warm and good inside,
my heart was all aglow.
I know God heard my prayers for you,
He hears them all, you know.

this week has been just
busy (extreme understatement), but ive a lot to thank God for nevertheless.
without Him i think i would have died 2 days into the week.
i pray though for a deeper hunger and relationship for Him. right now i think im just rushing through qt and doing for the sake of doing. :(
its a real struggle to strike that balance, so i pray for wisdom and discernment.
today, though, is ninjado day! (ohno hahaha i make it sound like some kind of funfair-have-fun day)
really thank God for njd, cos its really
shiok to just perspire and be breathless and get that adrenaline rush into your bloodstream.!
exercise is good :))
<3, tomorrow is PE, and even though the 5 rounds is a little tad bit depressing but we're playing TENNIS! oh lovelovelove x)

sometimes its hard not to be a little down over some outstanding issues, but yea i know God's there with me all the time, watching over me.
and sometimes there's just some things that spin so fast you don't catch it, or sometimes you just wonder why things happen the way they do, why things are so hard now, why struggles never seem to go away.
but i suppose its God's way of letting us grow.
life isn't a bed of roses and baby breaths, but God promises rest and His strength for everything we go through. :)
and the promise that he's in control, shaping everything slowly - is comforting. even though most of the time you don't see his hand.
i want to be closer to God! pray that he'll teach me to trust in him totally.
oh, and what does it mean to "wrestle with God"?
