Jul. 31, 2009 - ~*News From A Land Far Far Away*~
Well hello all! :D
I hope you are well and enjoying yourselves in this beautiful weather, or even if you don't have beautiful weather I hope you are enjoying yourself! :)
I am doing very well. Today we are having a party at my house for a group that my family is apart of.
So I am very excited about that.
Recently I have played outside a lot even though the heat has been close to unbearable.
Well the other day I played outside all morning and got a big burn and a big tan. So I look much darker but back is pretty red. lol It has been hard to do my arm work outs because then my back rubs agaisn't the bench and such and I have a hard time sleaping because that rubs on my back. But I'll servive, thankfuly! ;)
I have not been super busy lately. I have been trying to have band practices often though, even though a coupke of my friends work. :\ So I have been a little busy with band stuff.
Well I am back into reading LOTR. I finnished the Fellowship not too long ago but I had a long enough break. I couldn't find our smaller Two Towers book untill recently so I was just able to start it this morning, sadly. But I am already I think almost done with the second chapter, I think...but I'm not totaly sure. I have been busy preparing for the party so I haven't had much time to read.
I was just kind of thinking about something. If you do not already know I have written previously about some chapters in The Fellowship of the Ring. So recently I had a small thought about the 2nd book.
(If you have not read the Two Towers and don't want it to be spoiled, don't read the following...but I suggest you read the book cause it's super awesome!!)
I was thinking about when Frodo has to make the decision to go alone and face the darkness and evil of mordor by himself or to risk his friends lives and bring them along. He knows he should go alone but is hard to leave. In the end he chooses to leave for reasons that I'm not going to explain. But he tries to go alone.
Anyways...so when he is leaving Sam his strusty a loyal friend finds him and wont let him go alone.
After a little bit of argueing (though it doesn't last long because of Sam's stuborness) Frodo agrees to let Sam come with him to Mordor and to what he thinks very likely to be his death.
Our lives can in a way relate to that.
We are faced with the choice to go alone into the world of evil and try and destroy it by ourselves. Sometimes we figure that there is no one that could help us in a sittuation like that, but there is.
OUR Samwise is God. He knows where we are going and will go with us wherever we go. He will not let us down and will be with us to not only the death but after that in Heaven.
So when you are faced with the choice to go alone. Don't. Even if you want to go alone God will come. He will be by your side through everything.
Really this kind of reminds me of the song by Tenth Avenue North called "By Your Side". It's a really good song. I'll have to add it to my playlist so you all can listen to it. :)
Anyways...so those are my thoughts. My time is running out on the computer so I should go.
But I hope to hear from you all soon. And if you like photography be sure to check out the photos bellow. :)
I hope to hear from you all soon.
God Bless,
Sheilla kiwi

WOW!!! That really made a lot of sense to me, cuz recently I've gotten back into my friendship with God. Its not easy, but its so worth it!!
I guess I kinda like whatever music is around. I have alot of my dad's stuff on my Ipod, nothing bad. :)
i think my favorite bands are ZoeGirl, EverLife, Stacie Orrico, Rebecca St. James, Jaci Valesquez, TobyMac, Newsboys, Jars of Clay, Jeremy Camp, Todd Agnew, Point of Grace, Twila Paris, and who knows what else. what about you?

Maybe I'll check them out. ;)
Is that version on playlist? Why's it better?
What do you mean by "really rock christian bands"? And do they mean bad music or bad something else? Music wise there's a lot of poor quality stuff but not more so than non-Christian.
PS: I know your name isn't Shiela kiwi, what's with using that? :)

Burns aren't fun. :( But tans are! Lol xD
I know. I love sparkles too. ^_^ I usually wear pink or red though on my eyes, with sparkles on top. But no blues or greens or anything. I can't pull it off. :( I want to try to someday. xD when I'm feeling way to adventurous for my own good. :p
Of course we can be friends! I add whoever wants to be my friend on my ibeauty account, so go ahead and add me and I'll add you. ^_^

I maent is it on playlist.com. :D I'll check.
That's not any more true for Chiristian band than non-Christian ones. Sure there are not-so-good bands but the same is true in every catagory. There also some really skilled bands whether you like them or not. :) (BarlowGirl, JarsofClay, Skillet, Casting Crowns. mostly though not all).
Cool! Does she let you use your real name now?

I know what you mean... my mom and I are *technically* the same type of skin... saying I can wear her eyeshadows and stuff, but she simply can't wear mine. It's weird that way.
I use mostly reds...that's why. She uses mostly purples and greys.
:)
I'm gonna experiment some today. ^_^ We have this hideous hospital green colour of eyeshadow that should NEVER be worn...EVER... it looks so harmless in the little case, too...
looks can be deceiving.
I looked like I was about to throw up.
lol XD
Btw, do you want to add me on my personal blog?
My username is beccathegreat, and my blog is under that name too.. as in www.homeschoolblogger.com/BeccaTheGreat
So yeah!

Yesterday was our first day of VBS and sadly attendance was pretty low. We are about to leave in a few minutes for our second day. I pray that more children will show up. :)
