Haven't Met You Yet

This is probably one of my favorite songs of all times. No matter how down I am, this always makes me smile, without fail. This video is so funny. I love Michael Buble. Tell me what you think!

Verse of the day

"For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." ~ Romans 14:11

You are the someone. Today is the day.

"You don't have to look very far to know that our world is a messed up place. People are hurting. Suffering is everywhere. It can be really overwhelming. You might wonder why someone isn't doing something. Where is the help? Or you may think that if you're going to make a difference, it will be someday ... when you're older, better educated, have more money, or have fewer problems of your own.
Well, this morning when you woke up, there were people around the world and in your own community who were hoping that today might be the day. The day someone stepped in between slaves and their oppressors. The day relief from suffering begins. The day they could feed, clothe and educate their kids. The day someone showed kindness to them, or let them know they had value.
Please. Know this -- while you may not be able to do everything -- and you can't solve all of the problems alone -- working together, our generation CAN make a difference.
Don't wait for someone else. Don't wait for someday. Because, YOU are the someone and TODAY is the day. " ~ Zach Hunter

Love


I saw this quote on Facebook, and thought it was adorable.

"We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find."

Quote of the day :)

"There are those who believe that a new modernity demands a new morality. What they fail to consider is the harsh reality that there is no such thing as a new morality. There is only one morality. There is only true Christian ethics over against which stands the whole of paganism. If we are to fulfill out great destiny as a people, then we must return to the old morality, the sole morality." ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Innocent

I love this song. It has a great music to it, but I have to say that the words are so amazing. This is something that I want my life to be... Innocent. So here is the lyrics to Innocent by Stellar Kart.

"I'm overdressed for success
In a world that has no shame
I've had enough of seeing love
Being played like some game
I know why the good old days are gone
Cause everyone just tolerates whats wrong

I'm not some empty space for rent
I wanna be innocent
Yours wholeheartedly
Innocent
Every part of me
Take me back so I can see
The way that love was meant to be

Boys and girls
The real world
Is one that's filled with consequence
And all the lies that glamorize
It's a life that's broken
I see why the good old days are gone
Every time I turn my tv on
What's wrong with being different

Buried underneath this avalanche
You are my hope and second chance
Don't let my heart get away"

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" ~ 1 Peter 2:9
We are a chosen generation called to be set apart, innocent for a holy God. "I'm not some empty space for rent" we were bought with a price. To glorify and honor God.

Regionals

Well I am writing to say that I won't be posting anything for the rest of the week. I am going to regionals in Speech and Debate. I am really excited to see friends and compete. I am also really nervous. I wanted to ask for you prayers while I am gone.
1) That this entire trip would be glorifying to God. From our attitudes of winning and losing to the what we say in conversation. That this entire trip would just be focused on God, and praising him.
2) Safe trip. I am really excited because it is a siblings trip. It should be lots of fun. But I would like all of your prayers that we would have a safe trip and stay.
3) That I will be able to perform and entertain well. That my audience will be able to see the morals to my stories. That God will just give me the words to say.
I would love all of your prayers, and especially for those 3 things. Also I would appreciate it, if you would pray this not only for myself, but also for every competitor at the tournament.
Thanks! I will try to keep you updated.
