and as she walks
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am Yours

I was just on the Commonwealth Essay Competition website and I saw the results' list. Congratulations Jeremiah! Your essay received a 'Highly Commended', so even though you didn't win, that's really good already. ;)
Compared to my essay. Which didn't even get out of the school. It wasn't even entered.
The kind of feeling when your stomach drops to your knees? Yeah, I understand.
I can't even cry. I don't even have the heart to tell anyone. It's just a whole load of:
I wish I didn't get my hopes so high so I wouldn't fall so far.I worked hard on the essay. I thought it was good. It made Vivian sad. I thought I had a chance.
Oh well. It's not like I've never been wrong before. But I guessed I should have been prepared.
I just need time to get over it and pick myself up again. I'm not a bad writer. I just need to improve a lot. I'm not competing against my friends, so their opinions will vary. I need to receive criticism.
I just hope this latest essay would get out of the school in time to at least enter.
I'm tired.
Next time.
