So many thoughts in my head............

The Election............

This scares me to death. I am not a big fan of either president but Obama scares me the most. I am not really sure why exactly but I have a feeling and I don't like it and no it is not because he is black!

My friends...........

I HATE when people don't call me back or when they say they just don't have time to call me or hang out anymore. It bugs me. I mean I understand that you have a life. I have a life and stay super busy but I always find time for my friends. It makes me wonder what is important in your life? Evidently the other things that are keeping you busy!

My relationship status.........

Everyone always asks you if you have a boyfriend when you are in college well I don't and I kind of like being single. I mean don't get me wrong there are times when a boyfriend would be fun but I just don't really care right now. When the time is right I will be ready but for now I just want to live my life and do what I want to do.

Things I am looking forward to.............

next weekend is the family retreat! A weekend full of bocce ball, 42, God's amazing creation, and quality time with friends.

Then there is the girls conference which I always love. I love watching youth grow closer to God it is always amazing!

Then there is thanksgiving which I always love because I love spending time with my family. :D

Ok so the things I am looking forward to could go on and on so I will stop there!

One Last thought............

Christians in today's culture are often viewed as these perfect people which then often leads them to be viewed as hypocritical. Well I hate to break it to the world but Christians are EVERYDAY people who are just as messed up as the rest of the world. We struggle with sin and addiction and life choices. We have problems in our lives. We are nowhere near perfect. That is why there is Grace and the Love of God that washes us clean and makes us white as snow!

Amen!!

Give me your eyes

So I haven't blogged in awhile. I have been busy but tonight I feel like I am supposed to share this song with you. It is called Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath. It is very powerful. It has been my prayer for the last few weeks that God give me his eyes so that I can see everyone around me and I have been praying for more compassion for those around me. Then I heard this song and the course is Give me your eyes for just one second, Give me your eyes so I can see, Everything that I keep missing, Give me your love for humanity, Give me your arms for the broken hearted , The ones that are far beyond my reach, Give me your heart for the once forgotten. I think that is amazing. It is almost exactly what I have been wanting. I have noticed that I feel like my prayer is being answered more and more every week. It is kind of amazing. Another song that I love and I often find myself singing one line of is Hosanna by Hillsong. Break my heart for what breaks yours. I just love the course too. Heal my heart and make it clean, Open up my eyes to the things unseen, Show me how to love like you have loved me, Break my heart from what breaks yours, Everything I am for your kingdoms cause, As I go from nothing to, Eternity. I just think that both these songs are amazing and they really touch my heart!


here is the Hillsong video...



the song lyrics are...

I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes

Yeeeah

I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest [x2]

I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith

I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees

[Chorus]

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity

[Chorus x2]

Hosanna in the highest


Here is the youtube site for the music video for Brandon Heath. For some reason it wouldn't let me put the video on here.

And Here are the song lyrics:

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black tile
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?

Chorus:
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide whats underneath
Theres a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
Hes out of work
Hes buying time
all those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?

Chorus

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah

Ive Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all alone

Chorus (x2)
