Under Construction

Last summer I went to a christian music festival and that was so amazing! There were a lot young people, a lot of bands in all different genres and there was time to think about life and faith. It were emotional days and on the last night I went to 'The Promise' (that's the name of one of the stages). Beside that it was the most beautiful stage-place I had the most inspiring concert from that whole weekend. Now you're all curious who was the one who was singing there, or not? It was Philippa Hanna, a British singer-songwriter. When she hadn't sing any note I loved her already. She shined so much energy and light into the audience that I felt that light and happy inside. Then she start singing and that was so inspiring. Her songs are touching, joyful and so true. I enjoyed that little hour so much!

A week ago I got one of her albums, I love to listen to it, not only because of her good voice, but more because of the message she bring through her songs. One of my favorites is: Work In Progress. The refrain starts with the sentence: my life might seem a mess, but I have to remember it's a work in progress, and I'm doing better all the time. There are enough days that I'm thinking my life seems a mess, thinking that that is all my fault. To give an example, I haven't written that much blogs this month, but there were enough subjects, sentences and words in my mind, but I just hadn't the spirit to write it all down. And I felt guilty about that, that I hadn't the spirit to write, that I messed it up. I think you all have to deal with that feeling, that you feel like you all messed it up, no matter in what kind of thing, messed up school, messed up some friendship, messed up with your parents, messed up yourself or literally messed up your room. When you feel like that, just remember yourself that it's all a work in progress. It absolutely help to think that, it even more help to listen to the happy song of Philippa.

My life is under construction and I'm fine with that!
