Hosanna - Hillsong

Verse 1:
I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes

Yeah

Verse 2:
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

Chorus:
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest


Verse 3:
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith

Verse 4:
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees

(chorus)
Bridge:
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

It's becoming easier for me to say "someday, if i get married i'll...."
Like yesterday, when I had to call and visit several bridal shops looking for a dress for the formal.
I called my mom and had to report on all of them "I really liked this one- I think if I get married, I'll come back here."
etc etc etc.

I'm gonna marry that boy.

A few nights ago, he drank a lot at a party, and when I was driving us through Taco Bell, I mentioned keeping him, or staying with him forever... and he mentioned that he couldn't afford a ring yet.
I said, "You know you'll have to ask my dad if you can do that, right?"
He said, "Oh, I know. I have a notepad file on my laptop with all the things I could say to him." Then said "But of course I can't get to it, since my laptop is broken...."

my heart is all a flutter.
i really do love him.




I've been angry and bitter for a long time.
And i'm exhausted.
I am so tired of making snide comments in my head about everything and everyone because I'm so bitter at the world.

So. This is the beginning of my prayer.
A prayer of peace, and grace and kindness... compassion...
Because I'm exhausted.
And I'm tired of thinking horrible things about people- even if I justify it by telling myself they're thinking the same thing about me.

...someone once told me "you'd be surprised how little people actually think about you. so stop worrying."
i wish it were so easy.

There's words and then there's action.
--Rocco DeSpirito

indeed.

I'll know when my love comes along...

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

Ill get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

Ill miss you
Ill kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Ill need you
Ill feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you


.....it's like that.

Apparently I have two blogs?

And I've been posting in both. Who knew?

Here's my post for October 18, 2009.

I had to work today.
Sounds normal.
But isn't.
I had someone to cover this shift 3 days ago.
Because this is fall break, and I've been working the whole time, and needed today to do my homework, laundry and clean.
But my replacement isn't register trained.
So my managers said no.

I see it from all sides, so I understand their side.
But I also understand mine, in that I haven't been on a register in months.
And when I walked in, a great percentage of everyone there was register trained.

My anger was justified when I never was called onto register in my 4 hour shift.

However. God really blessed me today.
While at work, I got to catch up with a good friend, Sarah, who I work with AND she's in my outer circle of friends- the ones I don't get to see often, but are really really good people. We planned a baking night for this week. :)
I also got a visit from Tessa and Ellen, who excited me SO much, since it allowed me to get some frustration out about my student teaching placement, and we got to plan a Girl's Night for Friday. :)
Then, I saw Mina! We decided to plan a fun night, too.

I prayed God would introduce great people into my life, and He's started doing just that.
I told Him my worries about how I feel I've been paying for my friends for 5 years, and I'm worried that if my chapter folds, I won't have any friends.
How great is He.

I think I've decided Nate is a keeper.
More to come on this subject, I'm sure...
:)

Here's the thing.
It's short.

But he's a keeper.

And here's why.
....I paid off a credit card. I wanted to tell him first.
....I took my cat to the vet, and I wanted him to be there, because my cat is like our kid....He wanted me to call him immediately to hear what the Vet said.
....We talk with cavalier attitudes about weddings, forevers, houses, carreers, what I'll do when I go to Colorado.


When. :) Not if.
Next to my mom, he's the first person I told when I got an email from the horn professor at the University of Colorado.
And he said, "Baby, that's awesome!"
He didn't say "Colorado... that's far."
He said, baby. that's awesome.

He is my peace.
He is my joy.
He is my sunshine.
He is my laughter.
He is my happiness.

And I could spend my forever waking up next to him.

And that, my friends... is an incredible feeling.

A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.

Hmm....Indeed...

I'm sick.
Again.
Nate, precious honey, gave me the stomach flu.
Luckily I don't love him any less.
AND he brought me a care package. <3<3<3
Last night, after I got sick, and consequently ruined our date night, he brought me 2 things of SunnyD, 2 things of Sprite, and a box of Saltines.
He's wonderful.
I'm a very very lucky girl.


So, this weekend we have a Saturday off together.
And I'm suggesting we get out of town.
He likes this idea.
And I'm glad.
So, I'm thinking a few places. I had to ask for opinions/suggestions... because I was clueless.
We can't do the bed and breakfast thing, because our parents wouldn't be kosher..
So a day trip would be nice.

Maybe, Oklahoma City, Lake of the Ozarks, Eureka Springs AR.... we shall see i suppose!

I'm gonna start another movie :( Sigh.
I hate being sick.
