Enlist Us Lord


My sister and dad just came back from Haiti a few days ago.
They went with three other people from our church, and a few from another local church.
They shared their testimonies tonight at church.
They were powerful.
They were recorded, so I just might have to share the
link once it is put online.

Tonight we also sang a song that I had never heard before.
At first I wasn't a big fan, the tune wasn't really that impressive and it sounded the same throughout.
But the words, wow.
The last verse especially.
I have listened to this song three more times
 just since I've been home from church this eve,
and everytime those words get me.


Indwell us Lord, and purify
our hands to work for You
Enlist us Lord, to serve nearby
and cross the waters, too
Your image-bearers on the earth
will never know how much they’re worth
unless we love and help them first
and show the way to You.

Just beautiful and oh so powerful.
"Your image-bearers on the earth, will never know how
much they're worth."
How heart breaking is that?
I don't know about you, but it makes me want to jump on
the next plane to anywhere and be His hands and feet.
But wait, we don't have to go anywhere do we?
Heck, we could walk right across the street
and do the exact same thing.
Here is the link to the song called
"Let Justice Roll Like a River"
While you listen to it, think about how you can serve,
"near by and across the waters too."
God bless.

Sunshiny kind of day

I have been sick since Thursday with a nasty flu kind of thing.
What is really weird is how it started out in my lungs,
and then moved to my head.
Wait...isn't that backwards? My body loves to play tricks on me.
So today I decided to take a nice stroll because it was a perfect, hoodie wearing, bird chirping, sunshiny kind of day.
If anything I figured that it would improve my mood,
maybe even my health.
(As you can tell, today was also a no make-up, extremely messy bun kind of day as well.)

Strolling around a near by lake, listening to songs like
sicky, boring, blah feeling kind of day into
a happy sunshiny kind of day.
It's amazing what God's creation can do to improve your day. :)

This Valentines Day...


I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You Lord
And I am hopeful, I'm waiting on You Lord
Though it is painful, but patiently I will wait

And I will move ahead bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I'm waiting I will serve You
While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint

I'll be running the race even while I wait

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You Lord
And I am peaceful, I'm waiting on You Lord
Though it's not easy no, but faithfully I will wait
Yes, I will wait

And I will move ahead bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I'm waiting I will serve You
While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint
I'll be running the race even while I wait

I will move ahead bold and confident
I'll be taking every step in obedience, yeah

While I'm waiting I will serve You
While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint

And I will serve You while I'm waiting

I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You Lord

I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting

For those of you who are single this valentines day.
Don't be discouraged.
Live out this song...these lyrics, and your life will be absolutely incredible.
With love <3

Just Leave the Pieces Please...

It has been raining non stop here where I live for the past 5 days.

What better to do on a rainy day than sit on your bed, strumming on your guitar.

Here's a song I have been messing around with. It's quite fun to play, and I love it when it comes on the radio. :)

Please please please tell me what you think!

PLEASE!

(do i sound desparate enough?)

Shopping Success!

Hello fellow bloggers. How has your weekend been?
Mine was nice, finally got to go to the mall. *squeal!*
I have never been shopping for solely accessories before.
It was rather nice not having to try on clothes and all,
and I came home rather happy and satisfied.
I won't waste your time with everything I bought,
but let's just say I got most of what was on my list.
yay me!
Today has been rather interesting and stressful.
My mom got a call at like 2:00am from my grandma. (her mom)
She said that she was having really bad pains in her abdomen,
so mom took her to the ER. Turns out she has a blockage
in her small intestines. Ouch.
So mom is extremely tired, and my dad and sister are all sick with sinus junk.
Not quite a happy family tonight.
But God knew I needed comforting, and to get me off myself and my worries,
He played just the right songs on my Pandora radio station.
Revelation Song- Phillips, Craig, and Dean
How Great is Our God- Chris Tomlin
Lead Me to the Cross- Hillsong
Forever- Fireflight
Just the songs I am needing. Thank you God.
You're the best.

Fireflies by Owl City music video

This is a music video that my sister and I made a couple months ago. It's to the ever so popular (and ever so catchy) song "Fireflies" by Owl City. (actually all their songs are pretty catchy...check them out some time.) It took us a whole evening to make it.... gotta take advantage of those creativity blasts! (don't get them very often.) :)

Inspiration!

This is the song I used as inspiration for my blog title. It's called "Live for Today" (obviously...) by Natalie Grant. The lyrics are below the song. Enjoy the picture of the swan... makes you feel peaceful doesn't it?

Lyrics:

Sittin' in my room staring at the wall

Wonderin' about the meaning of it all

Why is it this thing called life

Has got me goin' crazy

So I open up your word and let it speak to me

The purpose and the plan that you've designed

Is clear to see, and I believe

Chorus:

I'm gonna live for today

I'm gonna follow in your way

I'm gonna let my little light shine

Like there's no tomorrow

I won't worry about the past

I know my future is intact

So I'll choose to live my life one way

I'm gonna live it for today

You told me not to worry

About what lies ahead

So I am gonna focus on today instead

Making every moment count and counting

Every single blessing

I'm gonna set my mind on the

Here and the Now

This is what I want my life to be about

And this is How...
