Thanksgiving
Hey,
Hey guys,
eveyones already saying happy turkey day even though its not tell tomorrow. LOSERS lol jk I love my friends. Last night I had a dream that it was like this big retreat and like all my army friends were there. And then Micah was there doing some performing thing with my uncle. My uncle just smiled at me when he walked out and I was like "Oh mi Gosh" and hid behind someone. Anyway yes it was a really wierd dream. Yesterday was my puppy's birthday! She's one year old now. My mom's in two days, the day after thanksgiving, Clay and Jennifer Orbe's is on the 30th, and Lynni's (my brother's girlfriend whos practically my sister in law) is the first of December. I have no idea what im gonna get her. I got my mom the new Steven curtis chapman, cd but SHHHHHHH don't tell!
Yes, im a dork like that, but anywaaaay.I really like the song "Awakening" By Sara groves. its on her "Past the wishing" Cd,,,, Im gonna post the lyrics.
Dress down your pretty faith, give me something real
Leave out the Thee and Thou and speak to me now
Speak to my pain and confusion
Speak through my fears and my pride
Speak to the part of me that knows I'm something deep down inside
I know that I'm not perfect, but compare me to most
In a world of hurt in a world of anger I think I'm holding my own
And I know that you've said there is more to life
No I am not satisfied
But there are mornings I wake up and I’m just thankful to be alive
I've known for quite a while that I am not whole
I've remembered the body and the mind, but dissected the soul
Now something inside is awakening
Like a dream I once had and forgot
And it's something I'm scared of and something I don't want to stop
I woke up this morning and realized
Jesus is not a portrait
Or stained glass windows
Or hymns
Or all the tradition that surrounds us
I thought it would be hard to believe in, but it's not hard at all
To believe I've sinned
And fallen short
Of the glory of God
He's not asking me to change in my joy for martyrdom
He's asking to take my place
To stand in the gap that I have formed
With His real amazing grace
And it's not just a sign or a sacrament
It's not just a metaphor for love
The blood is real and it's not just a symbol of our faith
Leave out the Thee and Thou and speak now
I would definatly do that one as a solo If I could find the music! Well Im gonna go now, talk to you all later.
Happy thanksgiving in advance if i dont get to post it tomorrow.
