Have mercy on me, O God,
   according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
   blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
   and cleanse me from my sin!

For I know my transgressions,
   and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
   and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be ( Read more... )

For anyone who cares to know...

today is 5 months for Mike and I:)

23 March 2007 - Today, Spring Arbor University junior Erin Cook was reported missing. Cook, 20 year old English major, was last seen on the upper floor of the University’s library where she had begun work on a paper about asceticism.

This is the prayer, the cry, the plea of my heart:

Would You open up eyes, so I can see
Would You open up my ears, so I can hear
Would You open up my mind, so I can know
Would You open up my heart, so could love You more
I want to serve You, my God
I want to give everything
I want to serve You, my King, yeah
I want to serve You, my Lord
I want to give You ( Read more... )

So, it's been a while, huh? :)

Today's chapel was really good for my heart. First off, I re-opened my heart up to the giftings He wants to give me. For a while, I've been scared, almost, of the giftings He's given me. People have said I'm a prophet of some sort, but I never really take it in. But lately, I've been talking to Mike about his giftings ( Read more... )

Three songs have fallen very heavily on my heart. For one I'll post lyrics (because I can't find it online for you to go check out) the other two, I'll add links.

And Now My Lifesong Sings
I once was lost, but now I’m found
I once was lost, but now I’m found
So far away, but I’m home now
I once was lost, but now I’m found
And my lifesong sings

I am a huge advocate for firefighters and police officers (even if I disagree from time to time about what they are doing). So, that being said, I wanted to post this, stolen from a friends MySpace.

You stay up for 16 hours

( My Interests Collage! )

this is a song that stuck in my heart today...I don't know how much it applies, but I know it does somewhat (and I'm not saying it all applies to where I am yet, but it's still really good heart-song) so I'm posting it...

"Breathe You In"

Taking hold, breaking in
The pressures on, need to circulate
Mesmerized and taken in
Moving slow, so it resonates

FYI: our internet is dumb and we only have one computer hooked at a time, meaning, I'm not going to spend the time reading LJ  when I don't have the time. So, until you all see both M and I on AIM at the same time, if you want me to know what you're posting, email me ( Read more... )
