psalms 40:1

Lord, I'm waiting patiently, help me,
hear my cries, you are my heart beat
Lord, I'm waiting patiently, hear me,
wipe my eyes, You're in the drivers seat

Sometimes its a little hard at home
friends aren't always there and I feel alone
Trying so hard not to look back
and now I'm standing still,
afriad of getting off track

I'm so sick of arguments
Running through my head,
it's torment
The words that spill out, pour into my ears
And I can't handle these nights full of tears
and no matter what I say
These conditions stay the same


Lord, I'm waiting patiently, help me,
hear my cries, you are my heart beat
Lord, I'm waiting patiently, hear me,
wipe my eyes, You're in the drivers seat

Thrown around all over the place
And still I don't recognize my own face
I over please to get their affection
But all I get is a little bit attention

I can't do this by myself
Lord please, I just need your help
There's no way I can do this by myself
I give it up to you I need your help

Lord, I'm waiting patiently, help me,
hear my cries, you are my heart beat
Lord, I'm waiting patiently, hear me,
wipe my eyes, You're in the drivers seat
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.
I waited patiently for the Lord to hear me, and he turned to me and wiped my eyes

peer pressure

Dress me up, do my hair
pick out my make up, I don't care
tell me where to walk
tell me when to talk
we all dress the same
we all feel the same
but I just want to be different
can't I just be different?


wont you accept me?
wont you let me, just be me
I wanna laugh too
I'm coming out, I don't want to be you

I need you Jesus
Tell me where to walk
Tell me when to talk
Be with me in my every step
All this non-sense I'm going to shed
coming out of my shell
I choose heaven over hell

Put the cigarette in my mouth
stash the alcohol at my house
I just want to fit in
I'll do what it takes to get in
Being some one else, makes it harder to live
I'll take the blade and cut my wrist
We all look the same
we all act the same
but i'm different
I know I'm different

Jesus save me
this is not me
Help me build my faith again
I need you to be my friend again
Time after time that I fell
I still choose heaven over hell

friend or foe??

so I talked about bad influences, and I forgot to mention something very important, that I, myself have experienced. So you took the influence test and your friends seemed to have passed, they are most likely friends who seem to be good influences, that don't curse or follow the world, but how do they treat you??? Are they the type of friend that you seem to always have to bring up, the type of friend that always says "ohhh i look so baddd" just to get a compliment out of you? or ALWAYS seems to be in some sort of dramatic situation with all their other friends and most likely you every now and again? I've noticed this in some people and also have been stuck in these situation or have been THAT type of friend. ITS AWEFUL GET YOURSELF OUT OF THAT FRIENDSHIP! they don't build you up, they emotionally drain and stress you! They aren't their for you when you need them but always seem to call you when THEY need help. Or how about how draining it gets to compliment every little thing they do JUST so they don't get upset with you or mad at you because they seem to get mad at everything and anything you say. they say things like "i didnt do anything why are you being mean???" (just because at that second you wanted to be lifted up rather than lifting them up) or "why do you always give me attitude??" when you KNOW you haven't done anything. or if every 5 seconds they say "are you getting annoyed with me" it an attention strive that "high" looking for. maybe they didn't get it as kids so don't be harsh on them when they act this way, just get out of that friendship. You will emotionally burn out and see negative changes in yourself, most likely not as happy as usual. Christian, or not, people still try to take advantage of people. and if you notice these qualities in your friends it may be time to find some better, more uplifting friends that will help you grow spiritually. Try to be a mentor to those friends who have lost their way, but certainly dont stress over making sure they feel good when they never spend time on you. Oh and one last thing, if you notice you do thise, you try to get attention or get comments out of your friends 24/7 or always seem to be in a fight with some one or always have drama going on, or if people just dont seem to want to be around you that much, it may be YOU not them so take a step back and take a quick personality check, ive had to do this many times, and maybe you didnt start that way but eventually grow into this person, make sure you try your best to do what Jesus would, it wont change over night but God sees the effort. I just thought I'd add that into the friends subject.
love you guys
