RAWR

I'm not givin' up, givin' up, not givin' up now
I'm not givin' up, givin' up, not backing down

He's calling me...

In open fields of wild flowers
She breathes the air and flies away
(She thanks her Jesus for) the daisies and the roses
In no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all

He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her and she will come running
And fall in His arms, and the tears will fall down and she'll pray

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

Sitting silent, wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
(A great salvation through) it calls to the people
Who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls

He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us and we will come running
And fall in His arms, and the tears will fall down and we'll pray

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

we want to pray

It seems too easy to call You Savior
Not close enough to call you God
(So as I sit and think of) words I can mention
To show my devotion


I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You (My Heart Beats for you)
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

--Jars of Clay "Love Song for a Savior"

Forever I'll worship You.....

Wake up, and Put on your Armor....
We rush to the Battle Scene....
Fire and Brimstone we will bring to the fight
and Souls will be lifted from here to the sky
and He will descend from the clouds
Like a thief in the night

These trials seem so long...
and the days i feel are killing...
but my hands will clench to yours
when it seems like i am falling
BECAUSE YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE

Welcome, welcome
is the first thing you do to me always
When I've been so far away
And you are the best thing
That has happened to me and
Forever I'll worship You

This is the end hear it comes
This is the end that we're in
Haven't you heard haven't you

The dead will rise

AWAKE THE BRIDE

And it's such a chore for me
Just to see the world is ending

But the news paper writes and
The television screams
That this is the end
So haven't you felt the love of Christ
Haven't you felt Jehovah's Love...

One day we'll see your face...

One day... Your welcome

Welcome, welcome
is the first thing you do to me always
When I've been so far away
And you are the best thing
That has happened to me and
Forever I'll worship You

This is the end hear is comes
Haven't you heard...............

I just think that the US team could have made that basketball game just a little more exciting. Congrats on the win though.

For the love of Dogs....

So, Satan stooped really low last night. He took a big weakness and shoved it in my face and i fell for it.
Last night was my first night back to youth and It was great being back with the "kids" and seeing how much the ministry has spiritually grown over the summer. Then these 2 stray dogs showed up outside and of course I felt like I had to come to their rescue. I gave them the treats that I always keep in my trunk and did a little vet work. I even started calling the Human society and the Animal Protection Alliance to try and get them a place to stay.
Then all of a sudden I realized something Satan had succeeded in completely taking my attention off where it should have been, with the youth, and put it on something completely irrelevant. It was hard to leave them outside but I felt that God was telling to put the dogs in his hands because my ministry is with the kids and they are more important.

I don't really know why i shared this i just felt like it was a great moment where i was able to recognize an "attack" while is was happening and I did something about it, instead of just giving into it.

So here to encouragement! If you see an attack in your life do something about it don't just goo along with it. God will bless you for it!

I know I have a voice....I just don't know what it sounds like.

There's no changing things that we regret
The best that we can hope for is one more chance
If the hands of time could just move in reverse
I wouldn't make the same mistake again with her

The reasons I'm alone I know by heart
But I don't want to spend forever in the dark
I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life
If love ever gives me another try
-- Josh Turner "Another Try"

ol' blue eyes

I love that time in the morning when you pick the sleepies out of your eyes, and your eyes just feel to awake and bright afterwards.

It's amazing stuff....

It's hard to stand on shifting sand
It's hard to shine in the shawdows of the night
You can't be free, if you don't reach for help
And you can't love if you don't love yourself
But there is hope when my faith runs out
Cause i'm in better hands now

It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pouring down
It's like my soul is flying
Though my feet are on the ground
So take this heart of mine, there's no doubt
I'm in better hands now

I am strong
All because of you
I stand in Awe
Of every mountain that you move
For i am changed
Yestereday is gone
I'm am safe
From this moment on

There's no fear when the night comes round
I'm in better hands now

It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pouring down
It's like my soul is flying
Though my feet are on the ground
It's like the world is silent though I know it isn't true
It's the breath of Jesus is right here in this room
So take this heart of mine there's no doubt
I'm in better hands now

"...in my Chevette, Yea."

Well I took my car in today to get the belts changed and ended up having to get my radiator flushed too. They also gave me a list of things that the car needs before too long. It going to end up costing quite a bit. Though honestly I am glad I am putting this money into the car instead of the truck. Like I always say, I loved that truck, but it was just too far gone for my budget. At least with the Camry I do see an end to all the repairs. I know that I know that I know that God gave me this car for a reason and it will not all be is vain. He knows where I am at and He knows what my needs are and he WILL provide. Just for those that are praying, I would like to get it all taken care of before this summer and then i won't have to worry about it at camp.

Oh and camp. ooh camp....I am actually...very excited about it. I have to admit that when Steve offered me the position I was hesitant I was asking for advice and hoping to get the answer I was looking for but that answer never came. Everybody said to take it. I kept "wondering" if i should take the job when the answer "Yes" kept ringing in my head. Though after I finally excepted I really thought about it, and this job is an answer to many of my prayers that I have been seeking God for. Every aspect of this job, aside from playing with kids, is out of my comfort zone. I am still scared about what this summer will bring but I am at peace with the fact I am going out there. I know that it is the right decision. So be prepared for I wont be the same when it is over. That to me is exciting.

I am tenable

Can You hear me? Does anyone around me
Feel the way that I feel now?
Cause from the window where I sometimes cry
I just want to see Your face tonight
And I’m willing to lose everything I am

Cause I need You more than ever
I need Your help to find where I’ve been going wrong so far

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not alone

When You’re near me, I feel like I just found me
In the traces of the boy from yesterday
But in a world that is so black and white
I will take the steps to change my life
And I won’t be coming back to here again

I need Your loving hand to guide me
Through the maze of all the things inside me
Then I’ll know that I’m alright

Cause I need You more than ever
I need Your help to find where I’ll be going wrong so far

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not alone

Please help me get from worse to better
Before these tears soak through this lonely sweater
And let me know that I’m alright
I still have one strike of this match left
And I’m holding on to my last breath
And it’s getting a little dark around to see here

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not alone

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on it will be alright
You’re not alone

And You’ll be here forever, forever You’ll stay
And You promised to love me, You’ll love me always
You’ll love me for always, You’ll love me for always
Always
--Hawk Nelson

Prairie days have gone away leaving us in disarray
Fancy cars and credit cards have taken the world
The world by large, Sad but true the only view of
the world is not so true, is not so true
Would you believe it if you saw it or would you take
it for what it is
When I see the sun I see a solar-centered symphony
rising on creation found by only one, It’s not hard to see
that we could be the ones to make the world believe
We are so far we need the world to cater to our every need
Generation to generation conversations about the right
Religion but desperate are we that we try to seek
everything but peace and restoration
We’ve got a purpose, it’s all around us but Hollywood
Has got their opinions
When I see the sun I see a solar-centered symphony
rising on creation found by only one, It’s not hard to see
that we could be the ones to make the world believe
we are so far we need the world to cater to our every need
So get up, get up, get up, get up and get out
(Out of the box give it up, you’ve got to give it up)
Get up, get up, get up, get up and get out
(Out of the box give it up, you’ve got to give it up)
When I see the sun I see a solar-centered symphony
Rising on...

Upside Down

Who's to say what's impossible?
Well, they forgot this world keeps spinnin'
And with each new day, I can feel a change in everything.
And as the surface breaks, reflections fade,
but in some ways they remain the same.
And as my mind begins to spread its wings,
there's no stopping curiosity.

I want to turn the whole thing upside down.
I'll find the things they say just can't be found.
I'll share this love I find with everyone.
We'll sing and dance to mother nature's songs.
I don't want this feeling to go away.

Who's to say I can't do everything?
Well, I can try.
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem

I want to turn the whole thing upside down.
I'll find the things they say just can't be found.
I'll share this love I find with everyone.
We'll sing and dance to mother nature's songs.

This world keeps spinnin' and there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinnin', spinnin', 'round and 'round and

Upside down, who's to say what's impossible and can't be found?
I don't want this feeling to go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Is this how it's supposed to be?
Is this how it's supposed to be? 

The only way to Play...

You know the only thing more fun than playing capture the flag in a skirt?......
Playing Ultimate Frisbee in a skirt.

So I just, for some reason, on a spurt of the moment whim, went to Wal-mart, spent $21, and bought a bookshelf for my room that I most definitely do not have the money for.

Do you ever just get that feeling that you just need a change? Lighten things up a bit? Well this is what led to my spontaneous purchase. I was just ready to get my old desk out of my room. It just so dark and it's huge and bulky and I was just getting tired of it especially since I don't even use it as a desk. The only part I use is the shelves for my books, which is the reason I have not already put the desk away, since I would have nowhere to put my library. Then I had an epiphany! Get a Bookshelf to put the books on...so just like me I could not wait till the morning to go to Wal-mart to see what they had.

This will give me more space and give the illusion of a slightly bigger room, as well as make everything look more sunny. Plus as an added bonus now I have an excuse to get my computer out of my room since I don't like it in there anyways. I think that the shelves will look quite nice in my room.

See this is why I need a job because I have WAY to much time on my hand...lol


Well, I think I will retire now to my boudoir, for some much needed beauty rest.
