Loving you is like being at Disneyland, every day of my life.

Good song…

November 20th, 2008

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don’t go so fast.
I’m missing the moments as they pass.
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer,
So wait for me this time.

I’m down I’m down on my knees I’m begging for all your sympathy.
But you, you don’t seem to care.
You humble people everywhere.
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer.
I’ll take what you give me. Please know that I’m learning,
So wait for me this time.

I should’ve known better.
I shouldn’t have wasted those days.
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away.
Now this is my time,
I’m going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn’t have wasted those days)
I’ll take what you give me.
Please know that I’m learning
I’ve looked in the mirror
My world’s getting clearer

So wait for me this time.

(music and lyrics by Chantal Kreviazuk)

Comfort

November 11th, 2008

I received a text this morning from my friend Colleen, who not for the first time, has unknowingly reassured me that no matter how bleak things can be one day and great looking the next, God is always in control, and I just feel so comforted knowing that, especially during a very confusing time for me right now.

She sent everyone a great passage, from Hebrews, Ch 11:1….

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

.
ahh, it further cements my favorite motto. avere fiducia. have faith.

And then I hear this song for the first time today; such a great addition to that beautiful passage…

You walked with me,
Footprints in the sand,
And helped me understand,
Where I’m going,

You walked with me,
When I was all alone,
With so much unknown,
Along the way,
Then I heard you say,

I promise you,
I’m always there,
When your heart is filled with sorrow,
And despair, I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand.

I see my life flash across the sky,
So many times have I been so afraid.
And just when I, have thought I lost my way,
You gave me strength to carry on,
That’s when I heard you say,

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled
With sorrow and despair
And, I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand.

Fall, back.

November 2nd, 2008

Yeah, give me some room to catch up a bit, will ya? Wow, it’s November and I have not posted for a crazy long time. Well, when your days melt together like mine have this last month, you’d know.

Anyway, Halloween came by and went like lightning, but here a bit of images from our church festival (which again was another great success… over 2000 of our surrounding community stopped by and had a great time!)

Storm Trooper James!
