Shining Bright

It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there

But only time will tell, if it's truly for real
Can't change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I'm wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
And never take your eyes off me

As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again

this day must be..

    So I happened to be cleaning my room this afternoon, after my previous post and I was looking up at my wall where I have signed memorabilia from all the bands I've met. I looked to one in particular and it happened to be the piece of paper I got signed by Flyleaf two years ago during the Family Values Tour.
    I noticed Lacey had scribbled something down under her signature:

                            Psalm 139

    so I dashed off to my wonderful Bible and looked it up. Here's what I discovered:
right in the first line or verse [not sure what you call it]:

    You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.

    I don't know if any of you have ever listened to Flyleaf. They seem like a hard rock metal band, and in a sense they are. But what she sings about, is nothing like that. Their band originally was called Passerby and then they changed to Flyleaf. Their songs are about their faith and finding Christ. To me, when I first heard them and ran to Google to look up their lyrics, it made me feel awesome to know that there is a band out there who falls into a genre, but their lyrics aren't like the other bands. That is huge for me. I've also recently discovered that I love Thousand Foot Krutch. I've been addicted to listening to them for the past 4 months. They are another band with meaningful lyrics, yet their sound has an edge which I like.

    Thought I'd pop that little blurb in for the night because I got so excited =]

You Are The Reason

Psalm 59:16 & 17
    " But I will sing of your strength,
           in the morning I will sing of your love;
      for you are my fortress,
           my refuge in times of trouble.
     You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
          you, God, are my fortress,
          my God on whom I can rely."

    I've just returned from Windy Gap in Weaverville, NC. A camp through the YoungLife ministry which I proudly am part of. It has been the most incredible week of my life. In fact, as we ended club for our final night, I cried. It was such a beautiful week and I definitely was not ready to leave. The people there are amazing and how they can just teach you about God. I've grown so much closer to Christ through this week. I think I can see myself fulling accepting Christ into my life and living for and through him in the very near future. Quite possibly before the end of summer; which is very exciting to me. Camp helped me find Christ and get to know him better, it deepened my love for him and I truly learned why he had died for me.
    I find it absolutely amazing that he would die for me, even when he knew I wouldn't turn out perfect, even when he knew that I could screw up my life horribly, even when he knew that I've sinned.But he still loves me. And he still died for me. He died for people who don't love him. It is just incredible to me when I heard that whole story, put into a real perspective I could truly understand. He died for my sins and the only way to repay that is to love him wholeheartedly and live my life through Him. I am growing in my faith more and more everyday and its a very exciting journey for me. I am quite certain that my YoungLife leaders are very proud of me for this. I yearn to know Christ, to feel his true love, to hear him and talk to him, to let him guide my life. I'm ready.

Only one thing
Big enough to fill the void thats inside of you
It's just a breath away
You can breathe today
