i'm really glad that i made this blog. I was just reading through my blog and other peoples, and it makes me really happy to read whats going on in other people live and seeing how they put it into writing. it inspires me extraordinarily. i also enjoy reading through my past. it reminds me of things i had forgotten. it's going to be cool when i've had this for about a year and reading it from the beginning.

so i have discovered something new about myself, which i have bee doing for a long time, but just took note of it. when i discover a new band or just discover that i really like them after knowing about them for a while, i listen to them for about a week straight, and i usually have one of their songs stuck in my head for that period. for example, a few weeks ago the band was enter the worship circle, and this week it has been leeland. then, if i have their cd, i will rotate through the cd's and listen to them at intervals. it's kind of funny. i wonder if everyone does this. hmmm.

last night i was just observing our youth group. it gave me hope. i saw the members of the worship team and it made me smile. they were worshiping in practice and everything was just molding together perfectly. honestly i have been a little concerned lately, but God has just been telling me over and over and over and over that everything is going to be okay. i think it's finally beginning to become reality to me. yey!

i've had this excitement in me for the future and its rising and bubbling up again. when i was looking back, i was greatful for the experiences that i had this summer, but now it is time to look ahead at the rising sun.

I don't want to lose a common ground
With the whole world upside-down
I don't want to fight about it now
And the world was burning out
we are one tonight
and were singing it out
we are one tonight
and were dreaming out loud
and the world is flawed,
but these scars will heal

weekly update:

so this week was full of excitement!

mon: i was out of school and got to spend time with Jamison, sushi, family, and grandma's home cooked fried
chicken(yum!)
tues: don't really remember (i know, sad)
wed: communion with Jesus but feeling disconnected and not really on track
thurs: meeting three awesome loving God people and got to learn more and more...wonderful worship with people
who really are passionate about the Lord (leeland and brothers and sisters) and..........i got a t-shirt!!!!!!
fri: first home game of the season (we lost [35-21]) which was loads of fun because i am no longer attached to a 40
pound weight. and after we traveled to beff's with new and old friends.

i am very thankful for fun times with awesome friends. i just wish i would get the courage to impact their lives. i am so glad this thing has spell check because i am horrible at spelling at 12:11am. and i have decided that i am going to post lyrics every time i post a new one, so here's the lyrics for today:

i was carried to the table
seated where i don’t belong
carried to the table
swept away by His love
and i don’t see my brokenness anymore
when i’m seated at the table of the Lord
i’m carried to the table
the table of the Lord
leeland-carried to the table

He carries me to the places i'm most unworthy of everyday. He gives me the grace for another day when i deserve hell. He owes me nothing! even though....i ravish Him. i hear this so often and it becomes cliche. i want it to be renewed. if i don't have a new revelation everyday, it begins to fade away in the darkness. He loves me. HE loves ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! my God is too good for me, but i love Him too much to let that keep me from Him, and He feels the same. we are attracted like magnets. nothing can keep us apart. so:

count me in.

light up my life

light up my life

with a love so bright i deny anything with a lesser glow than knowing you
unlock my soul in a way i've never known
crawl into your garden
find your home in me
-the wonderful luke wood

and:

i
REALLY
miss you kasey

fun word of the day:

plethora-

excess; overabundance
