Time is ticking

I can't believe it! 2009 is almost something of the past and 2010 here we come!
Next year i'm believing for amazing things in my life. I'm so blessed and grateful with the things that are happening in my life, its just amazing.

So to start off my new year i'm going to Australia to go visit my awesome Sister and family that I miss so much. I wasn't so excited about my trip but i learnt that it just didn't kick in yet with me thinking about varsity and all that jazz but now i'm so Excited i can't wait! I'm so blessed that i have this opportunity to go all theses hours just to see my family and give them a hug and spend a good 3 weeks with them, Australia here i come!!

Coming out the water

I can't believe how long i haven't blogged for. But to be honest I haven't been able to let anything out. But today might be the start to new things.

In the past 3 months I've been stretched to an angle in my life that i'm not really used to. I think taking two years off my studying life to focus on myself and my inner strength has effected my studies but i don't regret it for one second but of late, varsity has been pushing me to the limits and my heart has been tested to see if i'm really in it because i'm in it. But not only university but most other areas are also being tested, and not like a class test, more like matric finals or something on those lines.

I think whats been happening is more for myself to see who i really am, i'm starting to see what I say I am or what I say i'm going to do is truly the truth and my heart and my words are connecting as one. I'm not getting it all right but the fighting spirit is definitely there. I'm learning to be more responsible for my own life and actions, simply because I tend to sort out everything else in the world that i end up coming last on the list, it's awesome that i'm coming out of the water and starting to see daylight in my personal life, I can see where I've grown and where i'm growing

Life is an amazing journey which I've come to learn that you can't write the script of your life and then as you read you try live that script that you have written for yourself. Life is bigger than that and the story that unfolds in front of me is greater than any story i could ever Imagen or dream up.

As I grow up and I see the future me to come. I start to understand this uphill that I am on. I'm enjoying this journey and I promise it is difficult but it makes it more exciting.

In all of this I am reminded of a powerful section in 1 Peter 1:6-8 which says,

"So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy."

Brain in a blender

Don't you hate it when life is so crazy that you don't know whats up or down, you hungry for change or want things to be different but you are scared to change what you doing but at the same time you're frustrated that things are still the same, you want to work hard but you are lazy, you are hungry but you don't know what to eat or that you want to loss some weight but you eat everything that you see, you are super tired but go to bed after 2am, you hanging with a friend but you feel lonely, you are focused but you are getting nothing done.

This week has been hectic for me, more of a battle in my head. It's been hard work but I believe that most battles are won in your head and i think I'm just going through some stress and head battles because i might be doing some things right and when you do things right challenges come and test you. So I'm going to keep on fighting and i hope i have enough strength :D

The life of a Car

Well here it is. This is my car, 5Th Gear :D I love this car and its totally Awesome.

I washed my car yesterday and i thought i would post a blog about it.
It goes a little deeper than that so here i go.

I washed my car yesterday, 1 because it was really dirty
but the second reason is why I'm writing this all.

Haven't you noticed we do things in life to impress other people around us.
When I washed my car I only washed it on the outside, so when people see the car they can be like wow that car is clean. And I won't lie it felt good to wash the car and look at like when it was clean.
But I only drove my car the next day and when I looked at my car again I was like wow this car is clean :D
Then I stepped into my car and inside is not the same as the outside.
There's dust, papers and junk everywhere.
The feeling i had about the perfect clean car faded quickly and all that effort and energy pretty much was waisted because when I was inside the car it all just felt useless.

This story thing is like our lives and much like my life, We put a lot of effort in keeping ourselves awesome and looking good, which is not a bad thing. But now people think we are all sorted just because when we drive past them they see a car which is clean or a sorted out life if you know what i mean.

What I'm trying to say, is if you going to wash your car. Wash it both on the outside and the inside. You don't do things only for others but you do it for yourself. Your car can be super clean on the outside but when you driving in a car which is dirty on the inside its not a nice feeling and you start feeling like the car on the outside is also dirt.
So if you do something for yourself or in your life, do it on the outside and do it on the inside. Imagine when you can say look how clean my car is and people will be like wow and you will be like but wait till you come inside because it will amaze you.

I just thought i would share that, if that makes sense then keep it and think about it. If that was china to you then its all good atleast you can tell your friends you read china today :D

The Amazing PRS Satin Standard

I just thought i would say some stuff about this guitar that i've been wanting since I came into the PRS "family"



The PRS Satin Standard is basically the big brother of the guitar that i have now, check facebook if you do not understand. Anyway, i was on the PRS website and i read that they are not going to be producing the PRS Satin Standard anymore and man my heart dropped, just because i think its an amazing guitar that looks beautiful and the tone is from heaven.
My plans were after i finish studying i would get that guitar but now its not going to be produced anymore which really sucks.
Cool thing is that there are still PRS Satin Standard's around and you can still buy them but when they run out they run out. It would be a cool miracle if i could somehow get it but hey its not the end of the world. Me just being real :D

If you like guitars and maybe this one check out the PRS website, http://www.prsguitars.com/standardsatin/index.html

Youth Ablaze is now in Studio

Wow! I can't believe it. We in a studio recording our own songs. I will take a camera and take some pics of us recording. We don't have much time but i rate we will be able to do it :D

Choices

Sometimes you can make choices which could pretty much be a chance at something

YOu only as strongh as you want to be

Think about it, when you are tired from let say playing sports your body still has 40% of its energy levels which you can still use but your body makes you tired as a safety so that you don't end up killing yourself or something on those line.

My dad has been in Australia for almost a week now and it can get hectic living by yourself when you are 21. Life is life and it comes when it comes and sometimes guys make things bigger than what they really are. We are built for change and we need to embrace it and we are built to get strong. So with my dad gone for a month I need to make a choice, stay strong or say I’m not strong enough. I'm learning very fast that you are stronger than what you think you are, so if you are stronger than what you think you are then its all in your head. Strength is given to you and you choose how strong you want to be.

If you on a diet most of the time you have the strength to stop eating whatever you not going to eat but you start saying things to yourself like I can't do it I’m not strong enough But you are and it all lies in you. I think you are as strong as you want to be. My mom passed away 3 years back and it’s a tough time and in this tough time I had a choice. To be strong or give up. I choose to be strong and I had so much more strength than I ever thought I could ever had and I truly Thank Jesus through that time but God also showed me that I can give you all the strength I can give you but if you don't take it and use it then you going to be weak anyway. If I give you a R10000000.00 you would be like 0_o YES!!! Thank you! And you know what, I know you going to use it, because you know it has power and it will change your life. When hard times come are you going to say that my currency of strength is not enough or you say it will be enough and if not i will get more.

Mihow is thinking

Thinking is powerful, you can create the most life changing things and it all starts by thinking it. Thinking gets you through hard times and thinking makes you remember why life is so awesome. All i want to really say is that i'm thinking because thinking can do so much and why put thinking in a box.

Today I learnt, its not if you work hard then you will reap rewards but its all about when you work hard then you will reap rewards. I've always said "before you look like a man you need to act like one" this simply means that you can't start acting like something when you become it. You need to act like a husband before you are married, why be called a leader if no one is following you? It’s not about the name or the title, it’s all about your heart, and you become a leader when you have been acting like a leader, you don’t start behaving like a leader when you become a leader.

Just because I have a guitar doesn't mean I'm a guitarist. I have guys who come up to me and ask for guitar lessons and I have noticed that the guys who love music and guitaring stick in, work hard and become an awesome guitarist but the other guys who think when I get a guitar and I go for lessons I will become a guitarist and become famous or something on those lines and every guy who had that attitude is not around anymore.

So today I saw the fruit of working hard before a situation comes instead of working when a situation comes, if that makes sense. So once again, its not if you work hard then you will reap rewards but its all about when you work hard then you will reap rewards.

Today

A few days ago I was just enjoying life like I always try to do and slowly I started thinking more and more about a word called today. Today is more powerful than tomorrow and more fun than yesterday, i hate it when people say "man i miss the good old days" how sad? Today is a gift to you and I think what you need to do is grab a hold of your today and absolutely use all that you can from it and if you do that you won't say "man the good old days" If you live a life of today, you will notice that your tomorrow will be so much more exciting.

You will be equipped from your today into your tomorrow and life will become more fun and enjoyable.

Today is the last today you will ever have before today becomes yesterday and your tomorrow will suddenly be your today
