Up and Up

Armed with my new positive outlook on life I am feeling so much brighter lately. So much to be thankful and to praise God for. 1 Corinthians 10:13 has been a big help lately, I couldnt remember the verse, but then I found it and God doesn't throw anything at me He doesn't think I can't handle.

Kara has a week to go before her baby comes (assuming he is on time), she's ready for him to greet the world and I've told him Aunty Be wants to meet him, but I don't think he is quite ready to meet me yet.

One of my school friends Chantal got engaged, YAY for her and Adam, they have been together a long time (7 years) and so they are getting married next year I think.

NSW lost the Origin game tonight, grrr, we are level at 1 all in the series. I'm going to be away when the 3rd game is played, hopefully I can get my friend to tape it incase I'm not at her house that night.

I got this poem from Sam's blog and I read it and it's amazing, so I shall share with you and until next I write, goodnight.

I'm Special
In all the world there's nobody like me.
Since the beginning of time there has never been another person like me.
Nobody has my smile
Nobody has my eyes, my hair, my nose, my hands, my voice.
I'm special
No one can be found who has my handwriting.
Nobody anywhere has my tastes -for food or music or arts
No one sees things just as i do
In all of time there has been no one who laughs like me, no one who cries like me,
And what makes me laugh and cry will never provoke identical laughter
and tears from anybody else, ever.
No one reacts to any situation just as i would react.
I'm special
I'm the only one in all of creation who has my set of abilities.
Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things i'm good at,
but no one in the universe can reach the
quality of my combination of talents, ideas, abilities and feelings.
Like a room full of musical instruments, some may excel alone,
but none can match the symphony sound when all played together.
I'm a symphony
Through all of eternity no one will ever look, talk, walk, think or do like me.
I'm special, I'm rare.
And in all rarity there is great value.
Because of my great rare value i need not attempt to imitate others.
I will accept - yes, celebrate - my differences
I'm special
and i'm beginning to realise it's no accident that i'm special.
I'm beginning to see that God made me special for a very special purpose.
He must have a job for me that no one else can do as well as i.
Out of all the billions of applicants, only one is qualified, only one has the right
combination of what it takes.
That one is me
Because i'm special
