Reasons why 2012 will be a good year

I was just sat here, eating my haribo and realised that I have a lot going on in 2012, an awful lot to look forward to.
- I am running two leadership weekends - I love leadership weekends, spending time with the young people is amazing!
- I am once again going to travel to Lourdes at Easter, never fails to be a good week
- I am seeing Steps in April :D :D
- I am seeing Westlife in May :D :D
- I am coordinating a 2 week international event in summer, held at Alton Castle!
- I turn 21, my sister turns 18, my mum turns 50, my aunty turns 50, 2 more of my cousins turn 21 - this calls for a family party!
- Me and my sister are going to see Michael McIntyre live!!

I bet there will be many more blessings. So much to look forward to!

Prayers by Brother Roger of Taize

'God of goodness, even when we are far from you, you never cease to love us and you are waiting for us.
By your presence and your forgiveness, you become our peace.'

'Jesus our hope, in us you kindle a spark of light.
It allows us to come close to your compassion.
And even in our sufferings you bring to birth a spirit of inner strength and of mercy'.

'Holy Spirit, Spirit of compassion, you breathe in us upon what is fragile.
You transfigure our impossibilities into trust, the confidence that you are at work in each one of us'.

'God of compassion, you want no one to suffer, but you take upon yourself every human trial.
As we attempt to love you, we want to be able, in our turn, to forgive over and over again'.

'Jesus our peace, in your Gospel you tell us:
when we come together in your name, you are there in our midst.
Your presence is invisible but, through the Holy Spirit, you always dwell in our hearts'.

'God of peace, even if an inner fog causes us to drift far from the trusting faith, you do not abandon us.
And we realise that the simple desire for God is already the beginning of faith'.

'Holy Spirit, comforting spirit, we want to go forward by discovering what you expect of us.
And our life opens up to your presence; it comes to bring to fulfillment in us what we never even dared hope for'.

I don't know what to do, total eclipse of the heart

Turn around, every now and the I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round

Turn around, every now and the I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears

Turn around, every now and the I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes 


Turn around, bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around, bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart 


And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

Cause we'll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight 


Once upon a time I was falling in love

But now I'm only falling apart

There's nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart 


Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart


Turn around, bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart 


And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

Cause we'll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight 


Once upon a time I was falling in love

But now I'm only falling apart

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Beautiful quote

Protect her, fight for her, love her, hold her & laugh with her. But don't make her fall if you don't plan on catching her

When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D O A
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month or even your year but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world
Has brought you down to your knees that

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Since you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month, or even your year

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

No I don't cry on the outside anymore

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Nice pics with some quotes, I do love quotes!
