| Take my life, make it clay
Shape this life in intricate ways
I want to be a child of faith
But what my heart wants most my body turns away
I push Your ways aside and wonder why I let pride decide every time
But I can't wait to be free
From this life of mindless sin that compromises me
I know one day I will be
There is a victory that You've won for me
And when You come back again
I'll be free
Turn my eyes to Your face
Let me draw from Your strength
And bathe in Your grace
Let me soar with wings to win this race
Let me have Your peace it's not a hopeless chase
'Cause I lose sight of all You have called me to be
And it takes so much to drop me to my knees
But I can't wait to be free
From this life of mindless sin that compromises me
I know one day I will be
There is a victory that You've won for me
And when You come back again
I'll be free
I know one day I will be
There is a victory that You've won for me
And when You come back again
I'll be free
Take my life, make it clay
Shape this life in intricate ways
I want to be a child of faith
But what my heart wants most my body turns away...
But I know one day I'll be free...
i wish i could express my thoughts and feelings in my own words....but songs will work for now:)
much love  | | |
| In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

| well today was my last day at vanity...a huge relief. the crappy thing is that my store manager accused me of stealing. yeah... me? stealing?  i couldn't even believe it. we all got holiday gift packs and they had $5 subway coupons in them. there were a few extra bags and someone took the coupons out of them. i gave mine to a couple girls one night to go get cookies for us from subway. but my store manager claims she saw me use one. she must have had a speck in her eye or something. so yeah, that sucks. its a really harsh and hurtful feeling to know you were strongly accused of something you didn't even do. even more so, to think that all the girls that i worked with had no problem blaming me. funny thing is, i think it happened a while ago and she waited til after i put in my two weeks to accuse me. right now i'm hurt, in 5 minutes i'll be extremely angry again, then i'll be back to feeling hurt. please pray for me to get over this, cause i can't bear it. on the bright side, i never have to go back there again...except to get my last paychecks. anyway, enough about that. school started and i'm pretty excited about it. i like my classes so far and i'm glad that i have something to keep my mind occupied. two classes that i'm most excited for are world civilization and current economic issues...i'm going to be learning some pretty sweet stuff. my car is dead, so that sucks. when i get my paycheck on tuesday i'll hopefully be getting it towed and hopefully getting it fixed. i've been having a rough few days so for one i'm sorry if i seem distant and for two please pray for me. i love u guys

| i got a new job! great lakes china buffet..woohoo. thanks for carolyn sharing the news of them hiring. no more vanity soon! that's an answer to prayer if i ever saw one. my car broke yesterday. luckily, i was talking to this girl i work with at great lakes today and was telling her how my car broke yesterday, and she's like oh well my uncle's a mechanic and he'll probly come and look at it for you. answer to prayer number two. he's going to look for the parts needed tomorrow so hopefully by this weekend it'll be up and running again. if not, i dont know what i'm going to do. i'm very very thankful that derik is letting me use his car while mine is out of order. i couldn't ask for better friends around here   i start school monday. i'm still not quite sure how i feel about that. everything comes down to me hating money. random point? yes. if i didn't have to pay a ton of money on school loans and didn't have to worry about having insurance (dental and health) i probably wouldn't go back to school. we'll see how it goes.
on a more positive note, invisible children are going to be in the grand rapids area during the 3 month national tour for a few days mid march. i'm pretty much stoked, and thats an understatement. i'm working on getting them screenings at 3 different places. that could probly be a prayer request. thanks they also will have their bracelets out soon, and they're going to be sweet. i check daily to see when i can buy one. you should buy one too. www.visiblechildren.com
welp, that's all for now folks. i should go eat. much love | | |
