I Heart Music

I LOVE "Enter the Worship Circle." I love them.
Discovering that they have come out with a "Fourth Circle" was pretty much the best news I could find out.
Since last night, I have have become somewhat obsessed with a song called, "Too Proud." Here are the lyrics.


I'm too proud to ask
Too broke to eat
Too weak to bow
Too strong to bleed

Can you sing over me words of comfort
Can you satisfy me sweet honey
Can you break through me with your strong hands
Can you undo me enough to heal me

You take the weight from my shoulders
My hands were clenched, Now they're open
I'll take your goodness poured from the sky
Food from the ravens, water from the dry

It's powerful. Beautiful.

Best Man Blues

Note to self:
Don't have wedding around water. There are just too many things that can go wrong.

Fun Fact of the Day

"The youngest parents in the world were aged 8 and 9 in China in the year 1910. "

I just have so many questions about this...

"Father"

"To be a child is not necessarily to be a son or daughter. The childship is the lower condition of the upward process towards the sonship...God can no more than an earthly parent be content to have only children: he must have sons and daughters- children of his soul, of his spirit, of his love- not merely in the sense that he loves them, or even that they love him, but in the sense that they love like him, love as he loves. For this he does not adopt them; he dies to give them to himself and into himself- for he is the one and the all. His children are not his real, true sons and daughters until they think like him, feel with him, judge as he judges, are at home with him, and without fear before him because he and they mean the same thing, love the same things, seek the same ends. For this are we created; it is the one end of our being..." -George MacDonald

Lord, I want this.
To move from being a child to a daughter of yours.
Help me to think like you, feel like you, judge like you, be at home with you, love the same things as you, want the same things you want.
Shape me into a daughter of yours.

There was a time...

...when I liked living alone.

Tonight my roommates are out of town. I came home to a dark, quiet house. I was looking forward to having some quiet time but now that I have gotten it, I am bored. 

It's weird that I went a whole year living alone.  Every night I came home to a dark, quiet house. Now, I'd be sad if this was always the case. 

I like people.

I like hearing the muffled music from their rooms. 

I like the smell of something cooking in the kitchen.

I like when they bring people into our house that I would never meet outside of this setting. 

I like having someone know where I am at during the day. 

I like having people to squeal with when there is a mouse. 

I like watching mindless TV with people.

What was I thinking wanting to live alone? I think it was a ploy to prove my independence to myself. Almost a test. Did I pass? Probably. Would I do it again. Nope. At least I hope not. Who knows though. There is somewhat of a pride issue lingering. Like, I don't want to be the 26 year old lady living with the youngsters. When is the time to move on? Is there a time to move on? How long will I live in this house? Who will be my next roommates?
