Ideas for lent

2012-02-24T16:42:00.000+08:00

Ready to move beyond just giving up chocolate? Last year we gave you 25 Creative Ideas for Lent. This year, we wanted to expand upon that list. Except, if you know us, you know we like to make things a bit . . . well . . . more interesting. So here’s a list of weird things to do for lent. The best part is that even though they’re a bit odd, they will actually help you to be holy!

Don’t eat the last bite of your food
Park at the very back of the parking lot
Put a popcorn kernel in your shoe every day
Don’t use your apps
Get to know your neighbors
Pray the “Hail Mary” and do an ab crunch for every single word
Stop complaining and/or being negative
Give up texting and call whoever you need to talk to
Don’t use utensils
Give away 10 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, and a pair of shoes
When you wake up, jump out of bed, kiss the floor, and learn humility
Wear the same 4 outfits for all of lent
Everyday do 20 (or 100) pushups and offer it up for someone who’s sick
Leave a post-it with a positive message on it wherever you go
Cut out all screen-time (phone, TV, computer) after dinner
Use your weekends to babysit for free
Send a different person from the Life Teen Staff an affirmation email every day of Lent
Don’t straighten or curl your hair
Sit and stand up straight – don’t slouch!
Every day take a picture of something or someone you’re grateful for and hang the pictures in your room

Of course you could combine any of those ideas, or put your own spin on them! Don’t forget that Lent is about stretching ourselves. It’s about doing something that’s uncomfortable in order to deny our “flesh” and make more room for God. We’re praying for you. Have a holy Lent.

MT 6:1-6, 16-18

2012-02-22T17:17:00.001+08:00

Jesus said to his disciples:
"Take care not to perform righteous deeds
in order that people may see them;
otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.
When you give alms,
do not blow a trumpet before you,
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets
to win the praise of others.
Amen, I say to you,
they have received their reward.
But when you give alms,
do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,
so that your almsgiving may be secret.
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

"When you pray,
do not be like the hypocrites,
who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners
so that others may see them.
Amen, I say to you,
they have received their reward.
But when you pray, go to your inner room,
close the door, and pray to your Father in secret.
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

"When you fast,
do not look gloomy like the hypocrites.
They neglect their appearance,
so that they may appear to others to be fasting.
Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you fast,
anoint your head and wash your face,
so that you may not appear to be fasting,
except to your Father who is hidden.
And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you."

live like that

2012-02-13T14:45:00.000+08:00

I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

tell me a lie

2012-01-30T21:30:00.000+08:00

Can't ever get it right
No matter how hard I try
And I've tried
Well, I put up a good fight
But your words cut like knives
And I'm tired
As you break my heart again this time

Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I never listen, listen
Tell me you don't want my kiss
That you need your distance, distance
Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing baby
If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight
Spare me what you think and
Tell me a lie

Well you're the charming type
That little twinkle in your eye
Gets me every time
And well there must have been a time
I was the reason for that smile
So keep in mind
As you take what's left of you and I

the one that got away

2012-01-18T17:33:00.002+08:00

Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day i'd be losing you
In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises be us against the world
In another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away.

It's time to face the music i'm no longer your muse
But in another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises be us against the world
In another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

All his money can't buy me a time machine. no
Can't replace you with a million rings. no
I shoulda told you what you meant to me. woe
Cause now I pay the price.

In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises be us against the world
In another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away.

The one, the one, the one

In another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

trembling, hold me now

2012-01-18T17:12:00.001+08:00

I'm torn between silence and violent expression
tired of believing everyone wants to care
and cherish someone I'm so scared of never having anyone

Haunted by my abandoned dreams
Tiny voices where would be screams

Now be still, it won't be long

We will be together in search of a new life
Striving as one in this world to find something pure
I'm missing you now
I'm quite sure
That I've finally found someone

light a way

2011-12-28T14:32:00.001+08:00

And tonight, I pray.

Light a way, on my love.
Light a way, from above.
Shine it down, lead me home,
Back to him.
Bring me back to him.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray my heart you choose to keep.
And if I die before I wake, all of me is yours to take.
If I dont see you again, Itd take all I have within.
Maybe Ill just stay awake, I think Ill just stay awake.

showers of blessings

2011-12-23T13:08:00.000+08:00

There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.

How great is thy Lord <3

you build me up and tear me down

2011-12-03T17:44:00.000+08:00

Now I lie awake and scream in the zero gravity
And it's starting to weigh down on me.
Let's abort this mission now
Can I please come down?

天空下起雨了
他撑的伞
在你的身边陪着
可是我不快乐
因为看见
他脸上的笑
是很勉强的
我很想爱他
但是眼睛在说谎
隐瞒比较容易吧
免得感情变得复杂
但是理智在吵架
退出可以解围吗
谁能给我一个好的回答
爱情是模糊的
可怜的是
没有勇气选择
如果再舍不得
这样下去
我们每个人
都是受害者
当爱情陷在危险边缘
是否都会伤痕累累
是否都会苦不堪言
爱情教会我们都放不下

worthy is your name

2011-11-05T01:22:00.001+08:00

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
I'm seeking You like a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all

Taking my cross my sin my shame
Raising again I praise Your name
You are my all in all
When I fall down You pick me up
When I run dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all

MAGIC POWER!

2011-05-06T23:41:00.000+08:00

treat others as how you want to be treated!

If you judge people, you have no time to love them. - Mother Teresa

2011-04-24T17:44:00.000+08:00

wise words from Mother Theresa built to inspire

2011-04-12T23:00:00.001+08:00

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final anaysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

many a times

2011-03-24T23:19:00.000+08:00

不是不敢说，也不是不要说，而是不希望听到自己不要的答案所以才不说。。。

AND DID I SAID I LOVE MY STUDENTS TO THE CORE? <3

what are words

2011-03-08T00:20:00.002+08:00

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

i swear this episode is damn touching )':

2011-03-05T15:19:00.000+08:00

2011-03-04T01:57:00.001+08:00

YANG ZHEN LONG <3
XIAO XIAO BIN <3

lubzzzzzzzzzzz.

to me, friendship means this

2011-03-03T01:05:00.002+08:00

Friendship means understanding, not agreement. It means forgiveness, not forgetting. It means the memories last even if the contact is lost.

if you decide to be happy then do it :)

2011-03-02T00:41:00.004+08:00

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

:)

You can be the rain from the cloud when it's stormin'
Or you can be the sun when it shines in the mornin'

當我知道你們相愛

2011-02-05T12:13:00.001+08:00

When you love someone, all you want to do is see them happy. But when they are happy with someone else, it eats you up inside.

2011-02-01T22:11:00.004+08:00

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear. (this is SO not true, LOL!)

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

I know there's good times behind that pain, hey

Can you tell me how I can make a change

I close my eyes and I can see a better day

I close my eyes and pray
