Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Sorrowing I shall be in spirit,
Till released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do ( Read more... )

Carry this picture for luck,
kept in a locket,
tucked in your collar,
close to your chest.
Make it a secret;
shown to the closest friends.
Meet me at quarter to 7,
the sun will still shine then at this time of year.
We'll head to the inlet,
and we'll share a bottle there.

And color the coast with your smile;
it's the most genuine thing I've ever seen.
I was so ( Read more... )

So i think that today was the best birthday in the world.

I woke up and went to Eric and Cristy's (Caitlin was there! Woohoo!)
Went to Panera for lunch and was sung happy birthday to. Yay.
Went home and just kind of chilled for a while.
Went to the mall and got a new purse and talked to my mom for about thirty minutes and upgraded my text messaging. He ( Read more... )

Since ancient times
no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who acts on behalf of
those who wait for Him.
You come to the aid of those who gladly do right,
who remember Your ways.
Oh, Lord, please empower me to live obediently
through Your Holy Spirit
so that You are fully released
to act on my behalf.
Do more than I can ( Read more... )

Hiya.
So Perry County was amazing. Kind of harder than I expected. I mean, it's just that some of the children were not as receptive as I'd hoped. But I do think we did "sow the seed" and I pray that others will come along and guide them further on their spiritual paths.

So I'm really happy about something. You want to know what it is? Okay. You know ( Read more... )
