Totally touched...

Ok so i know I should be writing my paper right now...im 5 full pages into 8 so its getting closer! I needed a break though so I turned on Pandora on a Needtobreathe station and what comes on? Mercyme's "Finally Home" I just kinda stopped everything I was doing when I heard it. It was SO beautiful. Made me really think about things. Especially the end of the first verse..."And tell him all about the man that I became / And hope that it pleased him"

Ask yourself, are you being a person that pleases Him?? I'm hard core reflecting right now...and praying that He guides me to become that person.

Make me new...

Praying for the Lord to make me new...Praying He opens my heart to all His glories and desire to glorify Him in all that I do. Praying to become more like Him.

Beautiful, Beautiful

Wow, long time since anything has gone up! I've been crazy busy but still wanted to share...

Here is a gorgeous song by Francesca Battistelli called "Beautiful, Beautiful"

You have to go to Youtube to watch it because they disabled embedding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbCfyZHSQbE&ob=av2e

I wanted to share because it has been one of those songs that has really spoken to me. The lyrics really seem to sum up a lot of how Christ has been in my life. Not only did He first open my eyes to Him and show me that I can be a better person, something I struggle with everyday, but also that NO MATTER WHAT, Christ will not falter. He is there for me in everything no matter if I am in the most joyful situation or suffering at the moment. HE IS THERE. His Grace is something that I can't get over. I will never be able to wrap my head around His Grace. Its something I pray for everyday. God is AMAZING. Praise Him. Suffer for Him. Grow in Him.

Here are the lyrics:

Don’t know how it is You looked at me
And saw the person that I could be
Awakening my heart
Breaking through the dark
Suddenly Your grace

(Chorus)
Like sunlight burning at midnight
Making my life something so
Beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so
Beautiful, beautiful

Now there’s a joy inside I can’t contain
But even perfect days can end in rain
And though it’s pouring down
I see You through the clouds
Shining on my face

(Chorus)

I have come undone
But I have just begun
Changing by Your grace

(Chorus)
