ENTRY BY INVITATION ONLY November 14 Hard TimesTo all,
Most of you know about all the chaos and war at school. What most of you do not know is that it has been really hard for all of us involved and especially me. In the past few weeks, i have been constantly fighting Satan and the evil as they have tried to take over my life. I nearly lost my faith at one point and if it hadnt of been for people like Canaan and Beaver, i probably would've. Any of you who know of Beavers vision can see that it is coming true. We are at the hardest part at the moment and i pray that things will just get better. I am trying to look up and turn to God, but at times, i find it so hard. I hope God lifts me up in his arms and takes me away from the pain in my life. Please pray for me, guys that i do not lose sight of God and that he lifts me up. There are a few lyrics from songs that relate to me at this point in life.
"Better Days"
By Pete Murray
And I saw it coming I saw emptiness and tragedy And I felt like running So far away But knew I had to stay And I know when I'm older I look back and I still feel the pain I know I'll be stronger and I know I'll be fine For the rest of my days I've seen better days Put my face in my hands Get down on my knees and I pray to God Hope he sees me through till the end I noticed the smallest things But I didn't notice the change It was hot in the morning Then it turned so cold, twas the end of the day There was no condensation I just felt like I was in space I needed my friends there I just turned around They were gone without a trace I've seen better days Put my face in my hands Get down on my knees and I pray to God Hope he sees me through till the end Now I have just started And I won't be done till the end There's nothing I have lost That was once placed upon the palm of my hands And all of these hard times Have faded round the bend Now that I'm wiser I cannot wait Till I can help my friends I've seen better days Put my face in my hands Get down on my knees and I pray to God Hope he sees me through till the end Seen better days Put my face in my hands Get down on my knees and I pray to God Hope he sees me through till the end Take Care, Benji Gresham September 17 Freedom Is HereAfter 1 week hard week in my Christian life, which i felt kind of down and depressed, i am back and it just made my Christianity Stronger. God is always there and i know that. Even when i feel down or i need somebody, i just say a prayer and God's alway there listening to my every word. God may seem far away and it may seem like he doesnt care but he loves everyone so much and we are all so special to him. God does care about how we live our lives and what we do. He wants to give us the amazing gift of the holy spirit and salvation from this world throught Jesus.
It may seem a bit hard for all those non Christians out there to believe these things about Jesus, God and the holy spirit but just open your hearts to them and you will not regret it. These are some powerful song lyrics. Please read these and really think about it.
Free By United September 09 Life only gets betterHey all,
How are you all?
Well for me, i am doing quite well. I have finished 6 out of my 7 exams so far and they all went fairly well except German.
I have alot of things to look forward to, which is awesome....lets see. - SWITCHFOOT CONCERT
That will be so great i cant wait. CHristianity and awesome rock music....wow. Perhaps they are the most famous Christian band in the world.
- ENCOUNTERFEST
wow that is a whole 3 days with friends, fun, music and most importantly God. If you wanna see the world changed and be a part of it than go to Encounterfest. You will not regret it.
- YEAR 12
now you may ask why am i looking forward to year 12. Well the reason is that i now onlyhave about 1 year left and also year 12 while it may have alot of exams, it'll also be so much fun and we'll be the oldest in the school and thats kinda cool.
- ROUND THE WORLD
Well right after yr 12 i will be heading off with my family for a 6 week trip around the world and most importantly the USA. Bring on the Disney parks and New York City.
There are also some things that i am not looking forward to. Some of these are:
- WORK PLACEMENT
Another week of hell in a kitchen. I am so wishing that i never chose the Hospo course. ANd the worst thing about this is that i have to do it in the holidays. This sux.......
- LEAVING SCHOOL
I will miss all of my friends when i finish next year. Sure i'll see most of them again but i will still miss the school and some of my friends in the younger grades. August 20 Dont try to be somebody your not.So as i write this blog i have been thinking about alot of things. I have been so blessed to have God in my life and friends that are so supportive and loyal. While going through other peoples msn spaces, ive realised that i am really lucky to have great friends and a great God. Their msn spaces (particularly the photos) showed me a glimse of their life and it seems to me that the people they call "friends" are only using them for various reasons and leading them to do things they would not normally do. In the photos i saw 2 of my old Christian friends drinking and smoking. They traded their wonderful life with great friends for popularity. They still claim to be Christians but a Christian should not smoke or drink if its illegal. They were both 17 and it was illegal.
Be Careful in life and do not leave your loyal friends. Love God and enjoy life the right way. Dont try to be somebody your not. God loves you for who you are....all of you.
Be a light in the darkness.....
BenJay G August 19 Work Placement was.........So its finally the end of the week and ive finished my work placement at the Crowne Plaza at Norwest. It was ok and i did learn alot, though everyone gave me too many things to do and everything was so repettitive. If i could rate it id give it a 6.5/10. If you ever do work placement DO NOT GO THERE. Anyway i got a nice shiny certificate to put in my folder and i was offered a job, but of course i declined. So im not always in such a bad writing mood, im normally a very nice person except work placement made me angry.
In conclusion, have a nice weekend everybody and take care. God bless.

August 05 Weekends RockHi everyone, im sorry i havent updated in a long long time. I have now closed down my BenJayG xanga site for the mean while and will update on this instead.
Well, another week of school has ended and finally its the weekend again. Sometimes i wonder where all my time has gone (Wow times goes really fast). In a few months, i'll be in year 12 and it'll just be study study sleep study.
WOW, This term though has been the best one ever, because of my strengthening relationship with God. I am so lucky to have God in my life and i cant imagine what i'd do without him. My christianity just keeps strengthening more and more. I am so blessed to have such great Christian friends who support me and a great church thats so determined to spread the work and help each other.
It's amazing how great life can be when your with God and i dont regret a moment of it.
ANyway all, for those that have to work this weekend, good luck, i have to work as well.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKENDS
