Foolish Girl Like Me

This is a song I wrote a while ago. I would REALLY like some feedback!

Foolish Girl like Me

Oh what a surprise, I messed up again.

I don’t understand how you could have died for a foolish girl like me.

It never seems to fail; I always fall right after you’ve picked me up.

Why can I never get it right?

Only you can save me. You’re the only one I need

Rescue you me

From my selfish heart.

Rescue me

From my own will.

Rescue me

O, Lord.

Why do you even take your time trying to teach a girl who only hurts you?

Why do you even try to set me on the right path, when you know I’ll turn away?

I don’t see how you could love me so much that you would die, for a girl who sits upon her heart’s throne.

Why do you love me so, when you and I both know I’ll disappoint you again?

Rescue you me

From my selfish heart.

Rescue me

From my own will.

Rescue me

O, Lord.

Bridge

I want to Live for you

I want to love for you

I want to show you to the world,

So Rescue Me,

Rescue me from me

I want to Live for you

I want to love for you

I want to show you to the world,

So Rescue Me,

Rescue me from me

Rescue you me

From my selfish heart.

Rescue me

From my own will.

Rescue me

O, Lord.

From His Point of View: A Dream Book

From my Bestie! Hope it encourages you!


From His Point of View: A Dream Book: have so many dreams and ambitions, wishes and wants, hopes and needs... sooo, my friend the Black Swan and I decided to decorate notebooks to keep track of everything we wanted to be and do. That was the day when the dream book idea was born!!! (MWAHAHAHA) I know it sounds pathetic. The name implies that it is, but it isn't pathetic. Really. It contains things that I never want to forget about. Things I don't want to die without doing. Kinda like a bucket list. In it I have writen so far at least 18 things I want to accoplish before I die. Like getting married, having a family, changing lives. (Not sky-diving or bunggie jumping. I'm too much of a wimp. :D) I encourage all you blog readers, to create a dream book, even if it goes by another name. God gives us dreams and we should remember our goals, so when we get discouraged, we can look back and see that we have a pupose. I also want to give my dream book to my kids when they are older... to leave a legacy. Because to leave a legacy, you must live one first. I hope this gets you all thinking :)

Love your fellow princess and dreamer,

Diving off mountain tops

Have you ever felt like something extraordinary is about to happen? I have. I don't know what, when or how it will happen, but someday something will happen that is beyond our wildest dreams.

I don't know exactly what I'm looking forward to. Maybe it's just spending some time with God tonight in my room alone with him. (OK, my cat will be there too (:  ) Ever since I've been reading, I've been falling more and more in love. I feel like I'm falling off a cliff- into a deep and continuous love. Oh I love you, God

Someday something amazing WILL happen. Beyond our wildest dreams. Jesus will come back from Heaven. That day will be GLORIOUS!!! In the meantime, I'll be here, praising my God, blogging on this blog and hoping to inspire you to be better person (maybe you'll inspire me too)

Love you fellow Princess and Daughter of the King

Kitty Cats and Lazer Beams



Do you have pet? If you do, you know the many joys that a friend with paws brings. You also know about all the lessons you learn. Sometimes, they teach you lessons you never forget.



Last Night, as I was playing with my cat, I decided to use a laser pointer. Needless to say, she loved it! She chased it everywhere, though she seemed quite annoyed when the light would suddenly disappear mid-chase. As soon as the laser got near her paws, I immediately moved the smiley face pointer and wiggled it. Just out of her reach. (tricky, huh? :D) This reminded me of two things.

the first thing I thought of was how the devil tempts us into doing Ungodly things. He'll show us something that's just out of our reach. We only have to do a little thing and it's ours. Sounds pretty good, right? WRONG! No matter how much time we put into strategies and planning, we slide down a slippery slope to destruction, doing one bad thing, after another.

The second thing I thought of was how God shows us something amazing. How do we get this thing? We must become more and more like God. That means asking him for his help and he does it! He doesn't tease or taunt us, but instead leads us to that object, step by step, (or stumble by stumble) he helps us reach it. When we reach it, he shows us another even more wondrous thing, and repeats the process.

He'll guide you and watch you. He'll lead you with Patience and quiet strength. He'll think no less of you when you fall. This is what I'm learning Every Day I'm Alive.

I hope this makes sense to you!

Love you fellow Princess and Daughter of the King,

Beautiful Death

What are you most afraid of? Well, If you're like most Americans you're probably afraid of snakes, public speaking or maybe even the dark. Everyone is afraid of something. So I have another question... are you afraid of death?

Death can be painful. I'm not talking about a spiritual death here, but a death to self. Even though you won't actually die when you accept Jesus into your heart, you have to let your earthly desires go. That doesn't mean you need to let go of all your possessions, family or friends (though in some cases you do) But you have to let go of your selfish  ways.

But don't think it will happen automatically. In fact, I've been following Christ (or stumbling in his footsteps) for almost my whole life and I still don't have it down. In fact, I still struggle with earthly ways. Every day I find myself being tempted and tried every day I'm Alive.

My point is, when you give your life to Christ, all of your darkness is washed away and replaced by the brightest, most glorious light you have ever seen. Die to the darkness and your life will be washed in eternal, glittering light. Now that's a beautiful death!

PS The picture in this post has a message. It represents life without God (black and white, dull and dim) vs. life with God, basked in his glorious light!

Always Romancing me.

Who do you think God is? You might think that he is a distant guy, judging you from afar. Nothing is farther from the truth.


God is amazing. Not only does he love you so much that he died for you, but he still wants you. He waits for you. He longs for you to talk to him. He thinks you are the best. Better than any other. I mean it! He calls you by name. He whispers in your ear, hoping that you will listen to his longing and hopes for you and your life.

Honestly, it's only been the past couple weeks I've even BEGUN to understand this. Since I've been reading my Bible every day, or almost every day, I've fallen more and more in love with God. I feel like I can touch the sky with him holding me.

Did I mention he holds you in the palm of his hand? THAT'S how important you are to him. He watches over you, protecting, guiding and loving you with every beat of your heart. He loves you. He cares for you. You are his Princess, his daughter, his most precious possession.

He's calling your name, whispering his dreams to you, wanting all of you. Give yourself to him and you'll feel a brand new kind of Freedom- the kind of freedom that you can only experience through God, your father, your king, your lover and your all in all! Will you listen to his voice?
