| well Christmas has come and gone...once again. i hate it when it's over and this has happened to me 26 times now! i really don't like it when the decorations come down...the house seems so empty...sigh. oh well, each time i go to sleep, i'll be one more day closer to it coming again.
speaking of houses...i bought one. yes, i signed the contract yesterday (i will always remember Christmas Eve...signing for my very first home) and i close on January 12. it was going to be the 13th, but it's Friday the 13th, so we opted for Thursday. it's really cute--smaller than it should be--and perfect for me. i never really imagined buying a house, but it's almost as cheap as living in an apartment on my own and at least my money won't be thrown away...i'm excited. still trying to think of the colors i will paint the rooms...you'll all have to come see it!
i hope this Christmas was memorable for each of you...i'll leave you with the words to one of my new favorite Christmas songs...
Joseph's Lullaby
go to sleep my Son
this manger for your bed
you have a long road before you
rest your little head
can you feel the weight of your glory?
do you understand the price?
does the Father guard your Heart for now
so you can sleep tonight?
go to sleep my Son
go and chase your dreams
this world can wait for one more moment
go and sleep in peace
i believe the glory of Heaven
is lying in my arms tonight
but Lord i ask that He for just this moment
simply be my child
go to sleep my Son
and baby close your eyes
soon enough you'll save the day
but for now, dear child of mine
oh my Jesus
sleep tight

| REVO is January 27-29 and we're having our big sign up rally in two weeks. i have a REALLY great idea that i'd like to do--but money is an issue. HOWEVER, if i know that we have alot of kids coming, then i can probably pull it off. SO...i want a TON of kids to sign up at the rally (december 14) so i can convince the "higher-ups" to let me spend the money. :)
our theme for the weekend is "lewisville beach: the REAL denton county" (spoof off of laguna beach for those of you who aren't culturally 'caught up' :) so i think i'm going to agree to go totally "bleach blonde" if the kids sign up--actually if 250 kids sign up ON december 14 (we had 250 come last year)! it fits with the theme--i'll be a real beachy blonde through REVO...eeek. kinda scares me to think about it...but surely they won't get 250, right?!? if i was a boy student minister, i would shave my head...but i'm NOT ready for that! | | |
| Steal my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time
My time has come
Let me in
Unlock the door
I never felt this way before
And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
I don’t know which way I’m going
I don’t know which way I’ve come
Hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you I’ve waited all these years
For you I’d wait till kingdom come
Until my day, my day is done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing
And I wouldn’t change a single thing
And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don’t know which way I’m going
I don’t know what I’ve become
For you I’d wait till kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
Say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

| i bought a new CD at NYWC in nashville last week. it is amazing. here are the lyrics to a song called PRAY. know that i am thankful for you, my friends, and that you are in my prayers.
Pray
I will pray for you now for you have been my faithful friends
While the road we walk is difficult indeed
I couldn’t not ask for more than what you’ve already been
Only that you would say these prayers for me
May your heart break enough that compassion enters in
May your strength all be spent upon the weak
All the castles and crowns you build and place upon your head
May they all fall come crashing down around your feet
May you find every step to be harder than the last
So your character grows greater each stride
May your company be of humble insignificance
May your weakness be your only source of pride
What you do unto others may it all be done to you
May you meet the one who made us
And see him smile when life is through
May your blessings be many but not what you hoped they’d be
And when you look upon the broken
May mercy show you what you could not see
May you never be sure of any plans you desire
But you’d learn to trust the plan he has for you
May your passions be tried and tested in the holy fire
May you fight with all your life for what is true
I have prayed for you now all of my dear and faithful friends
But what I wish is more than I could ever speak
As the way wanders on I’ll long to see you once again
Until then, would you pray these prayers for me?
Oh that you would pray for me.
God, thank you for my world...for the people you have placed in it...for the job that i love...for my kids...for sunsets and sonic drinks...for books and journals...for the little dipper that's smaller than it should be...and the Moon that is new every night. God, thank you for allowing me to drink of this day. May i drink deeply of your love and live every moment fully. Amen.
happy thanksgiving. | | |
| those we love are with the Lord
and He has promised to be near to us
if they are with Him
and He is with us
they can't be far away... | | |
