A Life On Eagles Wings

poem...

2011-11-27T03:09:00.000-08:00

It was spring but it was summer I wanted;
the warm days and the great outdoors.
It was summer but it was fall I wanted;
the colorful leaves and the cool dry air.
It was fall but it was winter I wanted;
the beautiful snow and the joy of the holiday season.
It was now winter but it was spring I wanted;
the warmth and the blossoming of nature.
I was a child but it was adulthood I wanted;
the freedom and the respect.
I was twenty but it was thirty I wanted;
to be mature and sophisticated.
I was middle-aged but it was twenty I wanted;
the youth and the free spirit.
I was retired but it was middle-aged I wanted;
the presence of mind without limitations.
My Life was over but I never got what I wanted.
- poem by a 14 yr old.

Wait.

2011-10-18T07:10:00.000-07:00

by Russell Kelfer

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate . . .
And the Master so gently said, "Wait."

"Wait? you say wait?" my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word.

"My future and all to which I relate
Hangs in the balance, and you tell me to wait?
I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign,
Or even a 'no' to which I can resign.

"You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
And Lord I've been asking, and this is my cry:
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply."

Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate,
As my Master replied again, "Wait."
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut,
And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting for what?"

He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine . . .
and He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.

"I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.
You'd have what you want, but you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of my love for each saint.
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.

"You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair;
You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there.
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me
When darkness and silence are all you can see.

"You'd never experience the fullness of love
When the peace of My spirit descends like a dove.
You would know that I give, and I save, for a start,
But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.

"The glow of my comfort late into the night,
The faith that I give when you walk without sight.
The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask
From an infinite God who makes what you have last.

"You'd never know, should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,
But, oh, the loss, if you missed what I'm doing in you.

"So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see
That the greatest of gifts is to truly know me.
And though oft My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still . . . Wait."

I really love this poem and just thought I'd share.

quick update.

2011-06-29T01:21:00.001-07:00

Yo! So!

How are you?

So update on what I've been doing:

The amazing sunrise in the morning, accompanied by two, yes two rainbows! unfortunately the iphone camera doesn't capture high quality pictures, so the amazing-ness of it is not shown!

Well after a hard days work at school, I headed to the best friends house, and had a mini jam/talk session!

see that person sitting down playing piano? yes well she is playing the piano with a broken wrist and cast! Eliza you are amazingly skilled!

*Please excuse the underlining, I don't know how to make it go away!!*

So anyway where was I, oh yes after the quick jam session I headed to an indian restaurant for my little cousins birthday thingo! The curry was delicious, so was the cake!

One of the best chocolate cakes ever!

Me and my cousin(he is the brother of the cousin those birthday it is). Yeah, we're a normal bunch!

And last but not least, my non-studying! I am supposed to have started so many of my assignments, yet I chose not to! Cup-a-Soup all the way!

Now, that cup in the picture confuses me, I mean am I (as a daughter) supposed to give that to my mum to use? Or do I use it to say the I *heart* Mum? I mean they(the mug designers) really didn't think this through properly now did they ?

See you soon

P.s food for thought: Psalm 1: 1-3 The picture about a tree planted by the streams. always bearing fruit no matter what the circumstances. now thats a cool picture!

Sunday's are full of sunshine

2011-06-27T06:01:00.000-07:00

Wait, what was that? You asked what I did yesterday? Well I guess since you asked I might as well tell you:

Sunday morning I woke up after having gone to my friends party, which was rather fun, we watched the movie flipped, and charlie st. cloud, outside in her backyard while roasting marshmallows and eating junk food, it was delicious! And just to inform you I now have new favourite movie! I know ' Kendra *insert surname* has a movie that she likes more than pride and prejudice". Well if you by any chance heard thoses rumors I'm afraid I have to confirm them. I like the movie Flipped more that I like pride and prejudice!

Oh back to where I was, sunday morning, I woke up, and then headed off to church. Which was awesome I love our little church, especially the praise and worship! After church my little cousin had like a party with all his little friends, I forgot to get pictures, Sorry! But tomorrow is his actual birthday and we're going out to a restuarant so I shall get pictures! Then I went home and chilled!

In the afternoon, I went with my friend (whose just broken her wrist for the 7th time), my mum and her mum for a fro-yo/coffee which turned into fro-yo/hours of talking/coffee/pizza/lemon-lime bitters/watching the sunset/movies/popcorn/chai latte/roasted marshmallows(again)/and of course chocolate! Oh and a midnight bedtime!

So we got fro-yo, the most amazingly delicious frozen yoghurt ever! I got mango, chocolate, and coffee flavoured yoghurt with gummi bears and sour worms( which I only get just so I can eat them seperately) And then we went and talked and talked and talked.

Well after all that talking we became extremely hungry, thats where the pizza comes in! Heres a picture of the Nathan and Nat pizza:

All the wholesome goodness of: chicken, bacon, roasted red capsicum, mozzarella, pine nuts, roasted pumpkin, lemon, and cream sauce

yum!

After that we watched the sunset then invited them over to watch the movie flipped, because I love it so much I thought my family, as well as my friends should all watch it!

We then made bulk Chai- Latte

Take note: that cup of the right says 'I heart Tea' and its mine:D

The best movie in the world, as well as the best chai powder ever!

After everyone had left and gone to bed I decided to journal! I bought a new journal on saturday and was so excited to start writing in it! It was brilliant!

See You Soon

My First Driving Lesson!

2011-05-07T23:41:00.000-07:00

Well this weekend has been pretty jam packed! On Friday, I went to one of my friend 16th birthday dinner dance, sort of thing. Which was really cool, she had got this guy to come and sing all these acoustic songs which where amazing:) We had pizza! anyone offer me pizza, and I will love you forever, I love pizza! Then we danced a little, and I like dancing too, so it was a wonderful time! I had to miss out on youth, but a bunch of youth kids went to maccas afterwards so I went to join them for about 40 minutes:)

Well I have had my L's since January but I just haven't had the courage to climb into the car and actually drive! So I decided yesterday: 'today's the day'. I asked my dad, and he took me down to this empty car park. He TRIED to teach me. I think it might possibly take me about a year to actually drive:S. I made three attempts to hold down the clutch, change gear, and accelerate. All three times I stalled the car, and I think I burnt the clutch, or something like that! Oops!

After that we decided to go a little secondhand book store and I found a few really cool books, but I didn't buy them:( On our way there I watched as my dad drove, and he did it so well! He made it look so easy! but since I actually had the experience of me trying to drive, I knew it wasn't, so I was happy to sit back, and relax, because I knew where I was going and I was going to be safe, at least safer than when I was behind the wheel.

After we arrived home I realised 'wow'! I don't know about you but if you've grown up in a church environment, you've probably heard the term 'give God the wheel' or at least something along those lines. But it only fully hit me 'just hand the wheel over to God'. Because when you trust God, he gives you peace, rest, and its easier to communicate with Him. Plus your life is so much easier to live!

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

^{⁶ in all your ways submit to him,}

and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

^{'and he will make your paths straight' I mean, how amazing is that promise!}

^{²⁸ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.}

Matthew 11:28

¹⁰ He says, “Be still, and know that I am God"

Psalm 46:10

And then after my driving lesson, I just read: The Katie Parker Production, by Jenny B Jones! If you like reading you should check it out!

Then at about 7pm I went to my friends 16th Birthday Party! It was rather fun and I was able to bring out my interpretive dance moves:)

P.s. I'll put up some photos, but I think I should just ask my friends for their permission before I post it up onto the 'internet'.

See you soon

About Me

2011-04-30T22:40:00.000-07:00

Well I thought that since I'm starting to blog again, I might as well do a new 'About Me', because the one I have is probably a tad bit out dated!

So lets start with the basics:

My name is Kendra Leigh (I'd prefer not to put my surname so I won't) and I am a 16 year old girl living her life for Christ. I live in Perth, Australia, with my family. I am surrounded by amazingly awesome friends, that I am so blessed to have!

Now for a few random facts:

I don't really have a favourite colour, I like them all! I am most certainly not a neat freak, you'll know this just by looking at my art room and bedroom! (I might post some photos soon). I love listening to acoustic/alternative/indie type music e.g. Joshua Radin, Needtobreathe, City and Colour, Said the Whale, Regina Spektor, etc. Other music I also really like is Jesus Culture, IHOP, Chris Tomlin, Leeland, Hillsong and David Crowder. I am a rather big book worm, and a spend a lot of money on books. A lot! Oh and I have a massive love for tea, and chai latte! I love doing anything art, craft related! I rather like vintage things. I have a Canon 1000D and occasionally take a few snaps. I actually like long walks on the beach, watching the sunset/sunrise (I love watching them so much!), lying under the stars at night!

Favourite Movie: Pride and Prejudice

Favourite Tv Series: It Crowd

Favourite Fruit: Green Apple

Favourite Cold Drink: Ice Tea

Favourite Book: Redeeming Love, Francine Rivers

Favourite Season: Hmm don't have one

See you soon

Downriver!

2011-04-11T02:44:00.000-07:00

The Rivercruise... was amazing!

It was so much fun and I danced the night away! I danced so much that 3 days after the cruise my calf muscles are still aching!

Me in the middle and my two bestfriends:)

Me and my friends again!

Me and the little sister!

I was supposed to do a ton of homework on the Saturday after the rivercruise but that didn't quite work since I was to busy stretching my legs so I could walk. And when I could finally stand up and 'walk', I mean it wasn't even a walk, more like a limp, it was about 12pm and we had to go to a family BBQ, which was not to much fun since I spent most of the time thinking about how much homework I could complete in the amount of time I was sitting there waiting for them to cook the meat, since I was starving. But enough about my terrible Saturday.

Lettuce move on to Sunday. You see what I did there I said 'lettuce' instead of 'let us', aye ,aye!

Sunday morning I woke up and decided not to go to morning church, but I did decide to go to night church! Anyway in the morning I just did this terrible form of torture teachers love to call homework. bleh. and so I got my assignment done! yay!

Then I went to night church and the message was amazing!

Then I went to school, as you do, cause if you don't, well, to be honest I don't know what would happen if you didn't, but I do cause I want an education, sort of.

And guess what? I got 82% for an essay I totally 'winged'. Meaning I didn't study or do anything! hip hip hooray!

Well Thats All For Today!

My Year So Far...

2011-04-07T05:36:00.000-07:00

hello hello

massive group of people who read my blog, umm well more like no one reads this blog, because i haven't posted a thing since october last year, thats like half a year, wow time flies when you're doing homework and hanging with friends, oh and doing homework! year eleven has been a big slap in the face with homework(literally the teachers take out texts books and slap us in the face :S), teachers love giving it to me, i hate doing it so, most of the time i don't do it, until a week after its due, and luckily i have semi cool teachers who allow that.

umm well i'm going give you a run through of 2011 so far:

I caught a fish, I absolutely love fishing, but for the past two holidays that I've been on I had been too impatient to wait for a fish to bite, but finally I caught one! And on the way back from the beach there was a thunderstorm it was b-e-a-u-i-ti-ful! Oh and the sunset was amazing too!

This is me about to be kicked by my best friend:) she didn't actually end up hitting me the swing thing kinda just stopped swinging. but I like this photo a lot.

This is on Australia Day with my other best friend! That was a brilliant day:) The fireworks were pretty!

Nerd night at youth:) we on the very left with the browny gold hair, pulling a very weird expression.

And finally notice anything different?

If you noticed my braces are gone, you guessed correctly:)

And that beautiful blonde in the photo is the best friend who was gonna kick me in the other photo!

and last but definitely not least this awesomely cool cool cat best friend of mine!

the blonde babe one! our parents have bible study every week, so while we are waiting for everyone to come we usually take pictures of ourselves:) this is one of the less stupid ones (don't know if my wording made any sense, hope it did)

well thats all for today folks, and most likely for the next two weeks or so, unless i have some time on saturday to post about our river cruise:) which is tomorrow night!

yay! I'm so excited!

see you soon

Ken

Who you calling a bookworm?

2010-09-14T02:05:00.000-07:00

Well this Saturday I had planned ahead, like a month ago, told my mum I wanted to go to Koorong(Christian Bookstore) for two hours, Because I need a while when I am deciding to buy a book/ books.

Well since you asked, I had a wonderful time:) I bought a few bargains:

The second top one is not from Koorong, I bought it from Big "Dubs"(Big W)

I liked the cover:) of it

Right now I'm reading Just Between You and Me, by Jenny B Jones, it is amazing:) I recommend it

The "Why so Many Gods" is amazing, it compares most of the world religions to Christianity, gives a short history, there beliefs, and all these facts. If you are interested in world religions or want to say why Christianity comes out on top out of all the religions I highly recommend it. I actually think I have a fascination with religions, and why people chose them. ONe amazing thing i found out through reading this book a little is that in all the other religions, people are trying to reach/ try and be worthy of their "god", but Christianity is the only religion where God comes down and reaches His people:)

Ahh I thought I knew what subjects I was going to do in year eleven but know I am totally having second thoughts

Heres what I chose:

Drama

English

Media

Art

Maths

Geography

Heres what I want now:

English

Maths

Geography

Art

Psychology

Philosophy and Ethics

Shining as Stars- Philippians -2

¹²Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, ¹³for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

¹⁴Do everything without complaining or arguing, ¹⁵so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe ¹⁶as you hold out^{c]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[c]} the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. ¹⁷But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.¹⁸So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

See You Soon

Yeh I umm haven't posted in a while:)

2010-09-09T02:26:00.000-07:00

It has come to my attention that I have not posted in a while. And I really love to blog, and read blogs but I just haven’t been able to post anything.

In that little paragraph, I am pretty sure I repeated thing quite a few times. I do that a lot as well when I talk to people.

Well one the reasons I haven’t been blogging is because I have just recently got a job. It was quite a ‘God thing’ that I got this job. Well anyway it is at this little café, and the pay is very good for my age.

I have no good books to read, so I am rereading ‘the Charmed Life Series, By Jenny B Jones’

If you haven’t read it I recommend you do!

It is a Christian Book and if you live in Aussie you can get it from Koorong.

"Until six months ago I was clinging to the idea that printed books would likely last forever. Since the arrival of the iPad I am now wholly convinced otherwise. The printed book is about to vanish at extraordinary speed. I have two complete Oxford English Dictionaries, but never consult them—I use the online OED five or six times daily. [It's] the same with many of my reference books. … Books are about to vanish; reading is about to expand as a pastime; these are inescapable realities."

—Simon Winchester

When I saw this quote thingie I was horrified, books will never vanish!! My mum recently bought an IPad and then I was like “ oh yay I don’t have to go to Koorong every time I need a book because I could just buy it on the kindle” but I can say that after unsuccessfully trying to read a book on the kindle app, I am going to stick to reading real BOOKS.

Reasons why I’m sticking to book books

IPads do not smell, I love the smell of new books, it’s even better than the smell of melted chocolate (and melted chocolate is the most amazing smell ever), take that IPad.

I like to be able to hold the paper and then turn the page not just take a little swipe to turn the page.

I like to hold a book in my hand, especially ones that require my hand to stretch, that way I know I am going to be reading the book for a while.

I can’t think of any more, but there are more!!!

A bible verse (well actually half a chapter) that I have been getting lately is the one about when Jesus heals the man who had been blind since birth:

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

1As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.

2His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

3"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.

4As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

6Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.

7"Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

8His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, "Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?"

9Some claimed that he was. Others said, "No, he only looks like him."
But he himself insisted, "I am the man."

10"How then were your eyes opened?" they demanded.

11He replied, "The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see."

12"Where is this man?" they asked him.
"I don't know," he said.

He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see."

Well this is the part, after reading this chapter over and over again, that stood out to me. I feel that so often that ‘little’ voice (that belongs to a very big God) in my head, go unnoticed, or ignored. And sometimes I’ll be like “ Ahhh God I don’t really think that if I stand up to what that person says, I don’t really think that would do anything, so I’m not going to do it, Okay?” I always get worried what will happen after I do something .

So when I read this I was struck with this thought, what if the blind man didn’t go to the pool and wash? What if actually went through with what I felt God telling me what to do?

If you have time I really recommend you find a chapter in the bible you can use this one if you want and just read it over and see what you get out of it!

See you soon

Fill in the Blank Friday - On Saturday

2010-08-14T02:05:00.000-07:00

1. Birthdays are: amazing i always look forward to them, as i'm sure most people do.

2. My favorite birthday memory was i think it was my seventh birthday party, and i had all my little friends over, we had a slippy slide, and my cake was a dance floor with ballerinas on top. it was amazing!

3. A birthday tradition I (or my family) has is whenever we open presents we have to wear this funny hat that has candles on top and is in the shape of a cake. thats funny i was just talking about this the other day.

4. If I had to choose one birthday meal to eat for the rest of my birthdays hence forward, I would choose now that is a hard one i like so many meals, but i really do like a roast, and for dessert white chocolate mud cake.

5. My birthday is on january 4th .

6. If I could take a birthday trip I would go all over europe, it is my dream to spend at least a week in every country, well maybe not every country just a few of my favourite:( not that i've been to any of them they just look so good on brochures)france, england, italy, ireland, and maybe a few more

7. The best gift I've ever received for my birthday was i have actually recieved so many good gifts i can't choose one:) .

This is what I wrote in Drama because I left the beginning of my script at home. So I just sat there looking like I was writing my script but actually I was writing what I would be posting.

Dated: Monday the 9th of August

Well I'm writing this in drama because I left my script at home and have done everything I can do with out my script.

I've decided that I want to talk more about what Gods doing in my life on this blog.

On sunday night I went to night church and some people from Joshua Generation came to speak. Towards the end they stood up and some of the them got words of wisdom from God( I think thats what you call it). One of the ladies got one for me and my two friends I can't exactly remember how it went but I remember she gave us Proverbs 31

It is an amazing chapter particularly for females because it is about the Characteristics of a noble wife.

I think I might go over every few verses in detail and then post what I get from them.

My Pet Peeves

2010-08-08T00:02:00.000-07:00

Well I just wanted to list some of my pet peeves

Pet Peeve: A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it.

1. The sticky residue stuff that price stickers leave on my books and shoes, its terrible all the dirt particles get stuck on, and then I'm left with a yucky dust infested book cover or shoes:(

2. Movie Talkers-I get really annoyed with them, I mean if they have to talk can they do it quietly or wait till the movies over(p.s. If you are one of the movie talkers I still like you and I don't have anything against you, I just sometimes may get slightly annoyed with the thing that you do)

3. Tv adverts-I turned on the Tv to watch a program not adverts! Although some of the acting is so over the top its hilarious!

Now for a bible verse

Philippians 3:7-9 (New International Version)

⁷But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ ⁹and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.

Photo Definition Tuesday

2010-08-03T05:33:00.000-07:00

Hello Fellow bloggers and blog readers, it has come to my attention that I have not been blogging as much as I would like, so I have decided to come up with a blog plan. Here goes:

Monday- Quote of the week in font of the week

Tuesday- Photo definition Tuesday, where I get a definition of a word and try to find a picture that matches that definition( I stole this idea off another blog:)

Wednesday- I need Ideas for this one, so any ideas, notify me:)

Thursday- About my wonderful school day

Friday- Fill in the blank friday

Saturday- Overview of my week

Sunday- My favourite bible verse this week

So I guess todays Tuesday which means.... It's Photo Definition Tuesday

bijou

\ BEE-zhoo \ , adjective;

Something small, delicate, and exquisitely wrought.

noun:

A jewel.

jewel. jewel.

I was searching for a photo everywhere, and then I imagined something small and

delicate being held in someones hand so I typed in "photography, someone holding

something small in their hand" on google images and then this image came up, and even

as I'm typing this I'm just thinking that to God we are so small, yet he wants to take our

hand and walk a journey with us. n

A few of my favourite things(that i don't quite own yet)

2010-07-31T05:54:00.000-07:00

Well I sure haven't been blogging that much lately. Three posts in one month!!! I mean what is this? It's not that I don't have time, I have plenty, I haven't actually received one assignment this whole term, which is very strange, but hey I'm not complaining.

This week I have started new type of craft. I got tired of being 'neat' in scrapbooking sooo I started .....

Art Journaling

It’s so much fun, you just add paint a few embelishments, and ta dah!!!

I haven't taken photos yet, but they will be up in a few days:)

Another extremely exciting thing that I'm looking forward to is a Prayer Group that is starting up in our school. On the camp I went on a few weeks ago, everyone from my school just got this heart to start a prayer group type thing in our school. So we went to the chaplain and asked her for a room a week later we have got a room. This monday at lunch time we are holding our first prayer group

!!! There's about 15 people who are interested, but I'm praying more will come.

Side Note* All those who go to my school who read my blog: Monday, Lunch Time, Drama Room-> If you want to join:)

Amazing Hat!! I want one*****

Love the yellow :) I would so wear the dress!!!

My Dream Shoes^^^^^^^^^ They are from Rubi shoes, now all I need to do is go to rubi shoes and get a pair:D

Hmm I think its time to post again!

Hmm something thats got me wondering is my nickname: Ken

My full name is Kendra so some of my friends call me Ken, but then I realised that Ken is a boys name

Exhibit A:

So now I think I shall go by Kend on my blog that way I don't get mistaken by a male barbie doll.

Oooo today in drama we did this activity where you write down whatever you thinking in your head it is an amazing activity! You should try it sometimes. Mine went from what colour ball dress I like to things I don't like to things that annoy me (chefs on tv shows) to little kids who grow up to fast.

See You Soon

I have found the best saying ever! I just love it:

"Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a Garage makes you a car."

And I have found my dream car- on the internet - now I just need to figure out how to get from the internet to my drive way: Any ideas?

Ken

What ya think?

2010-07-11T07:42:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone what do you think of my new title?

Please Comment

wow long time no post:)

2010-06-30T03:16:00.000-07:00

Okay so I have noticed that haven't blogged in about 16 days( to be exact)

I am going to try blog a little often because I love blogging it's so cool!!!

Over the past week I have read three novels/books!!! Seriously at the rate I read books I don't think there's going to be books for me to read anymore!!!

The Atonement Child by Francine Rivers

This book is wow! It had me crying!! I don't ever cry over a book or movie!

Here's the description from Koorong (Because I don't really feel like writing one myself) :

"In this compelling novel, Dynah's life is shattered in one horrific moment by rape. Her future is irrevocably altered by an unwanted pregnancy, her family and fiance torn apart. Her faith is put to the test as she faces the most momentous choice of her life."

So Over My Head by Jenny B Jones

This book I highly recommend you read it! And I also recommend you read her other books. They are hilarious. My favourite character was Ruthie, the main characters best friend, everything she said had me laughing!!!

Heres the Blurb:

Newly single, stalked by a killer, and in desperate need of some chic clown shoes--Bella is one skinny mocha frapp away from total meltdown. When the Fritz Family Carnival makes its annual appearance in Truman, Bella's keen reporter instincts tell her the bright lights hide more than they reveal. Her suspicions are confirmed when one of the stars is murdered. Though the police make an immediate arrest, Bella doubts this case is quite that simple. She needs her crime-solving boyfriend, Luke, more than ever. Problem is, his ex-girlfriend has moved back to town, giving Bella some murderous thoughts of her own. Then again, there's no time for a relationship crisis when Bella's doing her best to derail her father's wedding and stay one step ahead of a killer. Is God sending her a message in all of this madness? With a murderer on the loose and her boyfriend's ex on the prowl, this undercover clown has never had more to juggle--or more to risk.

And the third book I will finish as soon as I'm finished this post:

Even Now by Karen Kingsbury

My To Do List for these holidays:

At least finish one scrapbooking page
Go to the movies
Blog at least every second day
Start planning my english essay(ewwww)
Get up to date with my Drama Diary Entry's
Make a few hair accessories
Stop making lists and actually do the things above:)

I thought you might be wondering how I came about the name for my blog. Well actually no I'm not wondering if you're wondering I just want to write a little more, so heres the story:

It was a fine Saturday afternoon and I was a bit bored. My good friends SarahY, Cyndi, and Bec, had told me about this thing called a blog, So I thought " Hmm, what if I make my own blog". So then I went to my desk opened up my Mac, went on the internet and typed in "blogspot", clicked on the website, then clicked on a little button that said "Create a Blog". Now I could not think of a name for my blog at all! But then that bible verse, the one in Isaiah came to mind, possibly because I had read it a few nights back, and I was like " Oooh I could name it A life On Eagles Wings". So by this time my family was ready to leave to go to a BBQ that night, So I had to go, and didn't get time to make my blog. At the BBQ I was showing a girl from church the Bible on my iphone, because she wanted to look up a bible verse. Can you guess which one she looked up?

Yip you guessed it Isaiah 40:31

So thats how I got the name for my blog

In case you were wondering:)

2010-06-24T05:32:00.000-07:00

Bonjour

2010-06-22T01:25:00.000-07:00

Bonjour fellow blog writers and readers.

I just wanted to point out something:

I went to the shops on Saturday and was looking in Big W's at the book section. Casually strolling up and down looking at the books, they're reasonably colourful and cheery and then when I come to the " Teen Section", I was like "wow" they're all depressing. I mean seriously all the books were black, red and grey and about vampires. Now I'm thinking I can't judge cause I actually haven't watched or read the Twilight Saga, but I'm thinking of maybe watching it so I can form my opinion of the series, since I can't really have a valid opinion without watching it.

What do you guys think of the Twilight Series? Please Comment!!!

And has anyone else noticed the books?

Anyway I went to see the A-Team with my dad, mum, sister, uncle, aunt and 2 cousins. We took up like a whole row. It was pretty cool.

According to my mum and dad the A-Team was a tv show back in the day. Well I looked at the trailer and it looked pretty cool. A little violence. But it looked like it had some humor in it.

Just a side note: I get extremely scared of movies, like violent ones and freaky ones.

Well I wasn't expecting much, but it was pretty good.

Has anyone watched The I.T. Crowd?

It's hilarious!!!

See You Soon

Ken

As requested by Cyndi

2010-06-17T03:53:00.000-07:00

So on Facebook there’s like this really cool thing where you put this as your status

'"Like" my status and I will write something that i like about you on your wall'

And of course I've taken advantage of this and 'liked' all the statuses

I've gotten some pretty encouraging posts like :

‘ken, you are such a beautiful beautiful person. I absolutely love your heart after God and how you are growing in Him! I love how you have such a gorgeous personality and how you have set your morals so high is amazing. i love spending time with you :) lots of love xxx’

And I especially love this one:

‘Ken Ken Ken!!!!!!!!!! First things first, I love your blog and I'm still waiting for your next post ;) I like how skinny you are in photos and in real life though I am quite jealous. I am also jealous of your hair colour and length ..this also means I like it. I like how you have more followers than either me and sarah even though we started blogging way before you hahah :) I like how you have a Mac which makes you 100000x more likable because people with Macs are cool. I love how you say 'ooh ooh ooh' with your eyes wide open LOL before you tell us something exciting. I love your two little puppies and I love your Micah moments. I love the way you acted as Juliet last year and your hair was AMAZINGGGG at the social ~ mmmk, truthfully, it's always amazing. I love how you have posts about Jesus and God on your blog because I've been remembering and reading Solomon 2:7, 3:5, 8:4. And today we had those guest speakers and those verses helped me today :D love you xoxoxoxo’

Well I got a few more but if I blogged them they would take up quite a lot of space

Sooo let me continue...

Yesterday we had this lady come to school to talk about pregnancy.

And I was like here we go again... but it actually wasn't that bad

She was talking about abortion, and a few facts about it.

Now I personally greatly detest if not hate that the government had passed the law that woman can get abortions.

In WA you can get an abortion at the latest 20 weeks, I think (These facts are from the top of my head, so they may not be exact)

And in Victoria I think its even later!!!

That’s like terrible, they showed us these little models of how big the baby is at certain weeks, and at 20 weeks it's like the size of my palm!!!

And plus there are huge health risks with having an abortion

Yeah just thought I'd say those few facts. It's actually a great idea to learn those facts so if you ever get into a discussion you pull out facts from the top of your head

Like 'pew' 'pew' 'ping' 'ping' 'boom' 'boom'

Like did you know oh man I just forgot!

grrrrrr

Well there’s something like 20 million, no wait 3 million

Oh I don't know some HUGE number of child slaves THERE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ANY

Yeah I know let that settle in

The first time I heard that fact I was like, Nooooo!!! that guy who wrote 'Amazing Grace' abolished slavery, what no that can't be right

But turns out it is THATS WHEN I STARTED TAKING THE 40 HOUR FAMINE SERIOUSLY and actually trying hard to raise money, cause I guess every little bit of money helps.

But remember: " The need is not always the call" so I've had to learn

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. Groucho Marx

PRETTY COOL QUOTE RIGHT THERE ^

Micah Moment!!!

2010-06-14T03:13:00.000-07:00

Micah and me where playing outside with the little puppies when micah says

Micah: " Oh no the puppies are eating grass"

Me: " Yes they are"

Micah: " Do you know what happens when they eat grass?"

Kendra : " No not really do you know?"

Micah: " Yes, if they eat a lot of grass, grass will start growing out of them and then they'll have green fur"

Me: " HAhahahahahahahhahaha....."

Puppies!!!!

2010-06-14T02:52:00.000-07:00

So I haven't blogged for a while because I have been extremely busy!!!

Our 12 year old dog Toby was extremely sick so we had to put him down on thursday:( that was really sad

But on friday after school my mum took me and my sister to a breeder to show us these really cute dogs, we ended up buying them....

Everyone meet Georgia and Bailey:

Okay now how cool is this :

Song of Solomon 2:7 says, “Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.”

Song of Solomon 3:5 says, “Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.”

Song of Solomon 8:4 says, “Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.”

I know someones trying to get there point across and I love it!!!

Well since I'm at the ripe old age of 15 ( and a half) I think I shall give you my opinion on dating

Okay so I've thought of this cool idea. Since I have an almost 6 year old cousin who makes life very funny, I shall post what he says. So for our first Micah Moment:

We are all sitting around the dinner table talking about France and my uncle says

Uncle:" Hey you know Micah, you had a great great great grandpa who came from France, his name was Henry" Hence the great great great he is probably dead but Micah Asks

Micah:"Can I meet him one day"

Uncle:"Well, yes maybe in heaven, if he's there"

Micah:"We'll have to phone Jesus and ask if he's there" Pause " Where does he stay"(Micah meant where does Henry stay)

Uncle: "Well he lives in your heart, oh and also heaven" (Meaning Jesus lives in your heart)

Micah gives funny stare

Thats all for Micah Moments

Today I was freezing my tooshie off!!

It was freezing, well maybe not that cold compare to other states

It was like 15 degrees. Now I know I can't complain since the eastern states get like negetive numbers I'm still not used to this cold so I have a right to complain.

My Long Weekend

2010-06-08T02:16:00.000-07:00

Funny Moment:

Anaya looks very tired

Eliza points this out

Anaya replies “Yeh I’m just sleeping with my eye closed”

I found that funny hope you did to!!!

Gas!!!!

2010-06-01T04:52:00.000-07:00

A Pinch and a Punch for the first day of the month, I kick and a slap so you can't do it back :P

Okay so today started out very exciting!!!

I got to school and was like hmmm I can smell gas(no not natural gas) cooking gas. So I walked around, said hello to a few people, went to the library to get some books. And then walked out of the library, and there was a teacher I don't like very much, telling us to go to the oval. The problem was I had put my bag down, and I couldn't get so I like arggg!!! Well we were on the oval for like 30 minutes: a waste of my art class. Although it was quite exciting. Apparently the primary kids got to go home, but we couldn't cause' we had exams:(.

So then at lunch, they have these noodles that I've been wanting to try but I didn't feel like spending $2. Well funny cause my sister ( 3 years younger than me) had just bought some, and she didn't like them so she ended up giving them to me. Now Sarah ( who is i love with 2 minute noodles) was like ooooh can I have some? And I was like yeah! So I scooped some out ( they are boiling) and Sarah grabs them, burns her fingers!! they went red!! And then I over hear Sarah showing cindy and she says " They're a little tender" now for some reason I find this hilarious??? quite funny but that was my lunch

Oh yeah how could I forget, I also had the Veggietales song stuck in my head ? Why? I don't know?

Heres the lyrics:

Bob: If you like to talk to tomatoes
If a squash can make you smile
If you like to waltz with potatoes
Up and down the produce aisle...
Have we got a show for you!

All: VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales,
VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales!

Bob: Broccoli! Celery! Gotta be
All: VeggieTales!

Junior: Lima beans! Collard greens! Peachy keen!
All: VeggieTales!

Larry: Cauliflower! Sweet and sour! Half and hour!
All: VeggieTales!

All: There's never-ever-ever-ever-ever been a show like VeggieTales!
There's never-ever-ever-ever-ever been a show like VeggieTales!
It's time for VeggieTales

I was really sad that it was stolen. Well I forgot about this incident. Moved to Australia. And then on Saturday I went to this little girl's, from church, house. Well she had so many Barbie DVD's, and I was like ahhh maybe she had Barbie and the Nutcracker, unfortunately she didn't but se did have : Barbie Of Swan Lake

I used to have that doll, my mum bought it for me after she had been away for a week. The wings lit up.

Fill In The Blank Friday- but it's actually saturday hmmm

2010-05-21T17:20:00.000-07:00

Heloooo everyone , well on thursday i had a social it was pretty cool, i danced the evening away.

Friday i went to school and then to youth

And today we have :

1. If I could medal in an olympic event it would be ahhh what's it called, when they do gymnastics and cool moves but in the pool and they have those things on their nose that make them look funny.

2. If I was stranded on a deserted island I'd take food, matches, a tent, and drinking water.

3. little spiders are my most irrational fear.

4. I'd rather sing i front of a lot of people everyday, than than eat cows brains everyday.

5. I am excited about the weekend.

6. I should really be getting off the computer.

7. One of my favorite things in all the world is taking photos( i;m getting an awesome camera soon yayayay) .

See Ya Soon

Wow i have not blogged in 4 days soooo depressing, not that i get depressed, just i case ur wondering :/.

Soo over the weekend i went to youth which i can describe in one word : awesome

I slept over at my friends house: and guess what she got a kombi!!! man it's soooo cool my dream is now to buy a kombi and travel:D one problem though: money. but one day i will own one!

Everyone meet Jimmi : the kombi, one day Jimmi shall have a sister and she will be mine:D

So on saturday i watched my lil sis play netball, it was very cold but the sun was shining on my back

I then went to a afternoon tea at some park to celebrate one of my mums friends birthday.

After that we went home and had to set up because we were having a bbq at my house talk about a busy day

arg

So then Sunday came and i was soooo tired as you can imagine

we went to church

after church we had to put up a shed next to the playground at church so we did that. It was supposed to take 2 hours: it ended up taking 4 :(

Well me and me mum abandoned the shed builders and headed to harbour town for some shoes to go with my dress for the social. I found some:D

We then went home and i got ready for evening church

It was really good

Today i went to school hehehehehe

i have to make my subject selections for year 11 and i'm a little worried. Seriously its like the begining of the year still, well no as i was informed last week were almost half way through the year, half way!!!

I've got to do an image analysis for art and now im stressing i've got nooooooooo idea what to do!!!!

Oh and hi to worldwidewebbies4, our latest follower, ummm do i know you or are you just another person out in cyberspace who happened to find my blog?

OOOOO i found a really cool song by paramore, now i didn't expect to like the song cause the only songs by them ive heard were the ones on twilight. the song is called "the only exception" i recommend you listen to it

oh and heres a crazy fact: i have not watched twilight,although i know the story very well thanks to a few ppl i know who still have not stopped talking about it. and to all those twilight crazed ppl(e.g. anaya and laurike) i know you think im weird but this is what i have to say to you : ummm nothing

i did a drama performance today and i didn't do very well:( i forgot a few lines. But luckily we were not being marked on it whew!!! the reason i didn't learn these lines very well was because i was busy, and my weekend was one of those where you barely scrape by you just feel bleh. but now i feel better:) just to let you know

See you soon

Mmmmm Camembert

2010-05-04T02:22:00.000-07:00

Well today started off brilliantly:

Period 1 and 2 : Art-well it was fun we are busy making clay vases. And today the teacher said mine was good!!! well not that its complete, its very far away from complete but oh well! so far its about 25 cm high and 30 cm wide, and if your wondering is it heavy? the answer to that question is yes, very heavy. and while we were packing up someone a deliberately placed a chair in my pathway to the cupboard , so while using both hands to carry my gazillion ton clay thing, i had to use one foot to move the chair, almost lose my balance, so you would have thought the obstacle course was finished, but no someone had to stand in my way so no i lift the clay thing up( it was like doing weights!!!) and then put it down in the cupboard. THE END ( of period 1 and 2 )

Recess:ate some of becs camembert

Period 3: English- bleh we moved back into a seating plan cause last lesson we talkd to much

Period 4and5: Hmmm drama- so much fun best subject ever!!! We were supposed to do work but with our sweet talking we managed to get our teacher to tell us stories the whole lesson.

Lunch: It was pretty cold and some guys where just hanging around the tree that we usually sit at so we moved. ( Annoying Guys) During lunch Eleanor showed us her parody of Justin Biebers "BABY", baby, baby oooooh. It was about cheeseburgers and was funny.

Period6: okay so though out the day i have been feeling sick and my body has been so weak and i've had a runny nose. Argh!!! So in french were on the computers doing Languages Online. And the computers are like so high up you have to tilt your head all the way back just to see them. So now my heads tilted back making my head giving me a headache and to make it worse the Languages Online has extremely colourful backgrounds making me dizzy. Argh So i leave french feeling sick, weak, dizzy and with a headache and runny nose!!!

Period 7and8 - Maths my fav!!!! not ! argh we had to do a retest since our maths teacher is so terribly disapointed in us and compares us to the top class. well of you're gonna be disapointed if you compare us to the top class. Der!!!! so we do the retest no notes, may i add, and guess hat i did worse! but luckily at the end he said he'd take our best mark whew! that means i got 70 % for the test.

End Of The Day!!! Yay

Right now i'm busy reading the Carter House Girls Series by Melody Carlson

It's really good well actually all of Melody Carlson's books are brilliant!!( shes written over 200 books !!!!)

The Series is about six girls who are staying at this victorian era boarding home with a retired fashion model( like a grandma). It's about what they get up to(well der!!!) I really like the book cause all the characters are so different!!!

Oooooh i ordered Cool Beans By Erynn Mangum( looks like magnum yummmmo ) so as soon as it arrives i'll let u know

And So Over My Head by jenny B jones has been published and they can get in America, but koorong is still saying you can't get it yet arghhhh, im so annoyed( not really , i'm just wishing i lived in America)

See YA Soon

Mocha Hot Cross Buns

2010-05-03T02:40:00.000-07:00

Guess what I have 4 followers !!! Hey and anyone else who's reading this, follow my blog I don't care who you are as long as you're not some weirdo who's gonna stalk me:(. Umm so today i went to school and suprisingly i love mondays, now i know what you're thinking "Wierd", or "I think she's crazy", or any other comment along that line.

Well let me go through my day

1st and 2nd period: French- hehe we sang a song and let me tell you singing songs in french does take quite a bit of skill, especially when your teacher sings extremely fast.

Recess: umm i ate food.

3rd and 4th period:Drama Drama Drama. i had fun i read as a main character.

5th period: geography- i had to get dustpan, but i heard my teacher say "dustbin" so i was like okay???? but luckily before i went on a long treacherous journey to another class to get a "dustbin" i double checked and it turned out i needed to get a dustpan.

Lunch: ate food, discussed what i'm planning to wear to the social and note to self bring $2.80 tomorrow because by lunch time you really want iced coffee.

Period6: geography again: fun because we just watched a movie and have free time, i love my geography teacher shes gives us free time:D

Period 7 and 8 : english enough said.

So tonight for dinner we macaroni cheese with my family plus my uncle and little cousin (my aunt was working and my other cousin is away at a camp, which i only found out he was going on last night, man i seem to be the last one to find out stuff)

Everyones chatting"talk talk talk talk"

So Micah,5, looks down at his food skeptically

"Guuyyys, are you trying to trick me to eat salad(meaning any type of vegetable, except for potatoes)

"No" we all say

Micah holds up bacon piece" Then whats this?" he says accusingly

"Bacon" we all say

" Whew ,Okay so i don't have to worry anymore , i can eat this macaroni"

Micah continues to eat his macaroni.....

The End

Do you ever feel like a type of food that you just can't get a hold off. Well today after school i was soooo wanting Mocha Hot Cross Buns from woolies but nooooo easter had passed which means, yess i have to wait like a whole year for my mocha hot cross buns. Someone extremely smart said next year i should buy lots of hot cross buns and then freeze them , now thats a smart idea!!!!!

A Lamp on a Stand

Luke 8: 16-18

¹⁶"No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. ¹⁷For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. ¹⁸Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him."

Am I Asleep?

2010-05-01T03:47:00.000-07:00

I never realized how hard is was to write a blog everyday!!! Well let me tell you its hard! So I'll give you a little recap on what I've been doing this week, well going school, it actually went pretty fast. On friday night I headed to youth, and as usual it was amazing!! Today I woke up at 8 and got ready to go and watch my sister play netball. Then I went shopping for a dress for my social. I found a really awesome dress really nice powder pink, not too short it was perfect and in my price range, but I thought wait let me first think about it before I but it. Well I ended up not getting it but next weekend i am going to get since i think i have thought over it enough( if that makes sense).

Okay while i was at netball i had my little cousin was with me (5) so its pretty cold and he has this jacket on and its covering his face so i can't see him. So he goes to me and says "Kendra you have to guess whether i'm sleeping or not" so i go "Okay", so then he goes " Am i sleeping?" So then i go " No, you're awake", because obviously if he is talking and having a conversation with me then he's awake, but heres the funny bit but you might not find it that funny( but please laugh for my sake)he sticks his head out of the jacket and says "no i'm asleep"

........

.......

I'll give you a moment to laugh

........

....... Finished?

No okay.....

Thats All Folks
