"October" by Rosie Thomas

I think this song is so sweet....it's a good listen so go take it for a spin and see what you think:)

"Make her a flower in late december
When the sun is hot and shining on her
Write her a love song and play it all day long
To remind her of all that she is worth

But never never leave her

Take her on long drives for ice cream by sea sides
And give her your coat when she is cold
Tell her you miss her when you're close enough to kiss her
And that you'd walk a thousand miles to tell her so

But never never leave her

Take photographs of her on Brooklyn street in October
When her nervous smile is slightly curved
Somedays when she is slightly down tell her it's okay to frown
It makes you just fall more in love with her

But never never leave her"

wonderful song...

"Here I Am"- the Village Church

verse 1:
Take me far away from here
Save me from this world i fear
Break me from the things i hold so near
There're so far from you

verse 2:
Reveal to me what you want me to do
Place me where your will draws me to
Lord, be pleased with the worship I bring to you
I sing to you, I shout to you

chorus:
Here I am
Send me out
Let me shine for you glory
I will reach out in love and proclaim your word
Take me now, show me how
I need to live not for me,
But for you and your glory
For you and your glory

Repeat both verses and chorus...

Here I am
Send me out
Let me shine....
Let me shine for your glory..




This is my prayer many days to the Lord.. I want Him to use me in whatever way he needs to. I want him to send me out to shine for HIS glory..not mine but his. I want to love on people who need it and speak of his glory to those who many have never heard the name of Jesus! This song is from the Village Church, it's in lewisville, tx.. you can find it on Podcast (on Itunes) if you want to listen to the music with it.

May you experience the GREAT LOVE of the Lord today....

"Hope Now"

If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of?
When I call out your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm yours

I'm not my own
I've been carried by you
All my life

Chorus:
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
This love sets me free

When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok
And make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm


Chorus:
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
This love sets me free

You define my heart's desires
And I will sing your praises higher
Cause your love sets me free
Your love sets me free

I'm not my own
I've been carried by you
All my life
Your love sets me free

Chorus:
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
This love sets me free

23rd Birthday

My bday this year was great! I started it by cleaning, cleaning, and cleaning some more because my family was having company this past weekend and I'm home so I get the lovely duty.. Once everyone got into town, Cherise her roommate Corrie and Chelsey, Bryan and his parents we all headed out to WISD for the boys football game. All I will say is that it was a disappointing game. So things when we got home were a bit gloomy. If you've ever had a family member involved in a sport ESPECIALLY Texas football you know that when they lose you better expect some unhappy people most likely until the next weeks game. I've been through this before and it was unfortunate that it had to happen on my bday so nothing really exciting went on Friday night. My mom made me open my presents because I'm sure she felt bad that my bday had not been very well super so I did. I received some lovely present and thanks to all those who contributed.

Saturday, my lovely, wonderful boyfriend surprised me and told me he had arranged for us to go to Dallas and see my best friend Ali. I can't really go and see her on a whim anymore because I'm taking care of a baby everyday and don't have the funds nor the transportation to get there. I've missed her and he was so thoughtful and took me to Dallas. We enjoyed some great texmex cuisine and some good conversation=) It was nice to get to spend time with her...and I LOVE LUKE! He also bought me some shades and two dresses I wanted what a bear=) The weekend ended up being superspectacular and now all that needs to happen for it to really be perfect is for the COWBOYS to win tonight. We'll see what happens but I am so thankful for the family, friends, and boyfriend God has blessed me with. They may be hard to handle at times but they are worth it!

Love to all...................

Nothing Really.

We have had GORGEOUS weather this week despite all the hurricanes or the lack of here in Lorena. Anyway, my point being, I took Taylor for a stroll this afternoon and I don't think I can remember it feeling so wonderful outside. If you work inside (which most people do) on your lunch break or whenever GO OUTSIDE.. I always seem to feel 110% better and alive when I get fresh air and some time to think. I hope everyone has a chance everyday to just stop and breathe. Going for a walk/jog in GREAT weather and just taking time to think and release my thoughts is always so riveting! I encourage everyone to try this if you don't already do it and just see how much better you feel=) Sorry not to much to report on. If you're into country music take a listen to a country band called Lady Antebellum they are quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

~Peace and Love~

crazy..crazy..

So things around these parts have been quite hectic lately...My cousin is going through a nasty divorce from a man who is abusive and an alcoholic..etc.. and she has three kids from 7 to 1 and at the moment the youngest Taylor is living with us for the time being..could be long-term... Anywho, since I am the only one who can currently be home during the day I get to take care of her ALL day=) It has been fun but frustrating also. She is VERY strong-willed and has been on no schedule whatsoever. So that is changing for sure! She has been sick the past week and a half congested and wheezing and all that good stuff and so we have to give her these breathing treatments ever so often. It's funny as
you can see in the visuals the little mask is an animal

looks like a lizard or something to me.. but it's so
cute..she hates it but it must be done..
So my life lately has consisted of everything baby.
It is quite tiring and is hard work. All teenagers
who are having sex should have to experience
what it is like having a child and ALL that it entails.
I am very glad it is Friday and that the weekend is coming! Hope everyone has a super weekend!
Til next time...

" You're Not Alone"

I searched for love,
When the night came,
And it closed in,
I was alone,
But you found me,
Where I was hiding,
And now I'll never ever be the same,
It was the sweetest voice,
That called my name saying

You're not alone,
For I am here,
Let me wipe away your every fear,
My love I've never left your side,
I have seen you through the darkest night,
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life,
All of your life

You cry yourself to sleep,
Cause the hurt is real,
And the pain cuts deep,
All hope seems lost,
With heartache your closest friend,
And everyone else long gone,
You've had to face the music on your own,
But there is a sweeter song that calls you home, saying

You're not alone for I am here,
Let me wipe away your every tear,
My love I've never left your side,
I have seen you through the darkest night,
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life,
All of your life

Faithful and true forever,
For my love will carry you...

You're not alone for I..I am here,
Let me wipe away your every fear,
Oh yeah, My love I've never left your side,
I have seen you through your darkest nights,
And I'm the one who's love you all your life,
All of your life....


This song is a reminder that He's always with us even when it seems all is lost. Rest in the peace that He's always here......
