Sorry, that other post is saved as draft. I will hopefully be putting it back soon, so we can continue our conversation.... OK?

Scripture anyone?

I need to read some more scripture. Got some good ones for me?

Very muchly meant to live...

Sometimes I wonder how people can be happy with their lives, not doing what they planned and dreamed. Most kids my age have no idea what they're going to be doing when they're older, but I most certainly do. Have you ever wanted something so bad, that it's all you think about, dream about, and are trying to reach out and grasp it? That's what music is for me. It's a God-given gift, and I want to use it. It drives me crazy when the people around me think that I'm your average, and that I'll change my mind about what I want to do. I've already had a glimpse of what pursuing the path of music is like. It's a lot of work, but it definitely pays off. What I want to do is bring people to God through music, and he is the only one who can help me with that. I want to show other people what music really is.

Blessed Be Your Name

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name

I have been listening to this song over and over and just wanted to share it with you...

Blessed... blessed... blessings!

I feel so blessed right now. I AM so blessed.

Hebrews 13:16 (NIV)
And do not forget to do good and share with others, for such with sacrifices God is pleased.

lyrics

Dare You To Move ~Switchfoot~


Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's hereEveryone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next

[Chorus]

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to moveI dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before


Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before


Dying to be Alive ~Hanson~



I heard you crying
Somebody stole my soul
How could I be dying
I turned twenty five days ago

(bridge)

We're all on the ground,
just crying out
Somebody save me please
I won't sit around just thinking about
The troubles that tommorrow brings
Yeah


(chorus)
I'm dying to be alive, yeah
I'm dying to be alive, yeah
Let's not go through our lives
without just dying to be alive
Yeah


The people you've touched
The way you've touched them
I hope they've touched you too
'Cause in this life,
It's hard to tell
What is false and what is true


(Bridge)

We're all on the ground
Just crying out
Would somebody save me please
I won't sit around just thinking about
The troubles that tommorrow brings


(chorus)
I'm dying to be alive, yeah
Not trying to just survive, yeah
Lets not go through our lives
without just dying to be alive



Yeah
And we all come, tumbling down
No matter how strong
We all return to the ground
Another day gone, a day closer to fate
And soon we'll find it's a little bit too late
Too late



Na Na Na-naNa Na Na-naNa Na Na-na NaNa

Na Na-naNa Na Na-naNa Na Na-na na



The things you see
The way you see them
Will never been seen again
Let's go through life livin' on luck
Betting ten thousand to ten

Yeah Mistakes I've made in this life
I can't say why or when
But the thing that's strange is you only live once
I'll never look back again Yeah



I'm dying to be alive, yeah
Not trying to just survive, yeah
Lets not go through our lives
without just dying to be alive
Yeah

I'm dying to be alive, yeah
Not trying to just survive, yeah
Let's not go through our lives
without just dying to be alive
Yeah



And we all come, tumbling down
No matter how strong
We all return to the ground
In the days to come you'll say why did I wait
You can't just leave your life up to fate
You got to turn it around before it's too late


Stars ~Switchfoot~

Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain

Chorus:

I've been thinking 'bout everyone
Everyone, you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself


Stars looking at a planet watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how
The chaos in our lives could pass as sane
Ive been thinking of the meaning of resistance
Of a world beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home

Everyone everyone you feel so lonely
Everyone, yeah, everyone you feel so empty

When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
when I look at the stars, the stars
I see someone...
