When Did You Fall

Pure sweetness...
listen here


You’re all smiles and silly conversation
As if this sunny day came just for you
You twist your hair, you smile and you turn your eyes away
C’mon, tell me what’s right with you
Now it dawns on me probably everybody’s talkin’
And there’s something here I’m supposed to realize
‘Cause your secret’s out, and the universe laughs at it’s joke on me
I just caught it in your eyes, it’s a beautiful surprise


When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue
‘Cause I swear I never knew it
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?


Make your way over here, sit down by this fool, and let’s rewind
C’mon, let’s go back and replay all our scenes
You can point out the hints, the clues, the twists and the smiles this time
All the ones that slipped by me
I bet my face is red, and you can hear my heart poundin’
Well I guess it don’t matter now that I realize
‘Cause baby I missed it then, but I can surely see you now
Right there before my eyes
You’re my beautiful surprise


...when did it suddenly dawn on you?...

Is it even necessary to say that I am smiling right now??

No Sacrifice

Jason Upton

To you I give my life
Not just the parts I want to
To You I sacrifice
These dreams that I hold onto

(Chorus)

Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice, here’s my life

To You I give the gifts
Your love has given me
How can I hoard the treasures
That You designed for free?

(Chorus)

To You I give my future
As long as it may last
To You I give my present
To You I give my past

What?

It's SNOWING? In October???

Ohio is just weird.

Romans 5:4

Patience develops strong character and helps us to trust God each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady.

Timely and encouraging words found in the hallway of my dorm...

Lord,

I need to focus; help me to focus.
And help me to keep my gaze solely on you.

Amen.

Curiosity

Clue 1...


i smile when something points to the wonder, the hope that perhaps my wish is slowly coming true...

...or is it just a figment of my imagination influenced by the ponderings of my heart?

My Prayer

I pray these words on behalf of all those who are involved in or affected by the tragedy at home.

hide me now

under your wings

cover me

within your mighty hands

when the oceans rise

and thunders roar

i will soar with you

above the storm

father you are king

over the flood

i will be still

and know you are God

find rest my soul

in Christ alone

know His power

in quietness and trust

when the oceans rise

and thunders roar

i will soar with you

above the storm

Father you are king

over the flood

i will be still

and know you are God

when the oceans rise

and thunders roar

i will soar with you

above the storm

Father you are King

over the flood

i will be still

and know you are God

*Still, by Hillsong

Just me.

I am tired, but happy.

There's nothing better than going to bed with a smile on your face...
