HAIL THE NEW AMERICAN IDOL-JORDIN SPARKS!!!!!

wohoooo~~!!!! Jordin Sparks is the American Idol 2007!!! YYeeesss!!! She is really a fantastic singer!!

Last nite when I heard her last song 'This Is My Now', I was really being swept away by her touching voice! At that moment, I knew that she will be the next American Idol!! Wow!! She is really awesome!! Great singer she is! And very young!! 17th only leh! Same age as my brother! Imagine that!

Her winning song-'This Is My Now', the lyrics indeed touched my heart.

This song was written for the American Idol Songwriter’s Competition, Scott Krippayne and Jeff Peabody came together to compose this very unique song. To be recorded by the next American Idol, Peabody had to say:

“I’m looking forward to being able to download one of my songs,” says Peabody, a church pastor who wrote the song with Scott Krippayne, a member of his New Day Church congregation. “It’s just very surreal. Something that was just an idea a few weeks ago has blossomed into this huge thing.”

Now here, is the song~

<This Is My Now>
There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself

There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I'd reached the end
Baby that was then
I am made of more than my yesterdays

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
As I looked around
I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now

Had to decide
was I going to play it safe
or look somewhere deep in inside
try to turn the tide
and find the strength to take that step of faith

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now

And I have the courage like never before, yeah
I've settled for less but I'm ready for more
Ready for more

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
I look around I can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now

I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
Can't believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then
This is my now
This is my now

P/S: Thank you Lord, for inspiring the people who wrote this song. I've learned a great lesson from the song.

I packed my dreams away when you tried me, hide myself in my own world, trying to avoid you and the things that I used to love. And I used to be so afraid, afraid that I might be hurt or being disappointed again, and I really thought that I have already reached the end of my journey serving you.

But you have let me see your plans. I am made more than my yesterdays. You gave me strength to carry on, and You casted all my fears, shadows and doubts away. You helped me in search of love and to part-take in the step of renewing my faith.

Now, I'm picking up the courage. I've settled for less, but I'm ready for more. This is my now. Thank you Lord!!

时间巴士

今天，我在我朋友的部落里读到了一篇非常感动的文章，想与大家分享！

它叫做－《时间巴士》

『时间巴士曾带我到绿油油的快乐草地，也到达过凹凸不平的山区小路。
路途中我都会感受到，与先下车的亲人分离的伤心。
路途中我都会感受到，达成目标成功的喜悦。
路途中。。。我也会感受到，失败挫折的失落。
但我还是要继续往未来前进，因为时间巴士不会为我而停下。』


这，只是那文章的一小段。不过，却句句诉说出我的心事。好真的一篇文章！！！！身为读者的我，不禁对着这文章而痛思一番。

日前，我因为一件小小的挫折，而变得自暴自弃。现在，回想起来，真的有一点的愚蠢。

人生的路，就有如这巴士走的那段路，一定有凹凸不平。在路程上，我一定会感受到与亲人的分离伤心，达成目标的喜悦还有失败挫折的失落感！ 我好苯！！！这么简单的一个人生道理，我都不明白,成天沉睡在自己的堕落里。心里一直以为一时的失败，会是永远的失败。一点点的挫折，将它视为一个永不可翻身的理由。

原来，我是一位那么没有远见的糊涂少女！ 一点的挫折都担当不起！！还说在未来要当什么女强人！！！天啊！！！！我的这些梦想还遥不可及！！！！心里素质还不够班啊！！！

话说回来，其实我也明白，在人生的道路上，我难免会遇到一些挫折。有些挫折，是为了要我好。所以，我决定勇敢地面对我那丑陋的一面，好好地战胜它！！！！！我，一定得将它打败！！否者，我在未来的人生道路上，别说要成为女强人吧，我看连面对生活上的小小问题都是种麻烦！！！

王晓薇，你好好地加油吧！！！！！别让自己看不起你自己！！！！积极地面对人生的一切吧！！！！ 干巴爹！！！！！
