Snow Patrol-"Chasing Cars"
I Love this song!!!
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
...as words spill out...
Not really sure of that anymore
Oh how the winter has taken me over.
The chill has pierced me to the core
The cold has frozen any sign of closure.
Dreaming, such foreign concept
But doubt has taken root.
Right now you just seem too far gone
And trust, I've found no substitute.
What should have been love, Lost
One defiled thought=the cost.
"It will get better", I hear them say,
You must be sad to know the loss of faith.
To watch this habit of hiding my face,
All the while throwing up grace...
My heart right now,
Is too thin to skate.
And I don't know
Another way to escape.

One of those days.
Its like I'm breathing in air
that's causing me to suffocate,
And holding on to anything
gripping tight to find my place.
Just strike a match
To watch it burn,
Hope the shadows
Cover things unlearned.
This open sky
Makes me feel so small,
The drunken mess
To cope with it all.
There's a chance that I remember
Every word of every line,
But I can't seem to keep away
The pictures that fill my mind.
I never thought it would come to this,
But now it seems so obvious.
Lost and left with broken hearts,
Looking for a new way to start.
All the time's been wasted now,
I'm scared to see what I've allowed.
And how my soul's been broken down,
I just wish that I could figure it out...

In Need
In need of grace,
In need of love,
In need of mercy raining down from high above
In need of strength,
In need of peace,
In need of things that only You can give to me
In need of Christ,
The perfect lamb,
My refuge strong,
The great I Am
This is my song,
My humble plea,
I am Your child,
I am in need
In need of love,
In need of mercy raining down from high above
In need of strength,
In need of peace,
In need of things that only You can give to me
In need of Christ,
The perfect lamb,
My refuge strong,
The great I Am
This is my song,
My humble plea,
I am Your child,
I am in need
My thoughts
I really want Jesus to come back and make everything right again.
That's all I've been thinking for the last couple days. I doubt this is really a true blog post but whatever.

Stolen Blog...
This is stolen from another website but I thought it was really cool...
I am going to write some things on suffering that I’ve learned of late. The first writing will just be based on scripture. I thought a good place to start is to look at what God has to say on the subject. The next writing will focus more on personal stories of suffering.
Scripture on God’s purpose in our sufferings (Adapted from When God Weeps by Joni Eareakson Tada and Steve Estes)
Suffering is used to increase our awareness of the sustaining power of God to whom we owe everything (Psalm 68:19).
Suffering is used by God to refine, perfect, strengthen, and keep us from falling (Hebrews 2:10).
Suffering allows the life of Christ to be manifested in our mortal flesh
(2 Corinthians 4:7-11).
Suffering bankrupts us, making us dependent on God (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Suffering teaches us humility (2 Corinthians 12:7).
Suffering teaches us that God is more concerned with character than comfort (Romans 5:3-5).
Suffering imparts the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:1-11).
Suffering teaches us that the greatest good of the Christian life is not absence of pain but Christ-likeness (2 Corinthians 4:8-10, Romans 8:28-29).
Suffering can be a punishment from God for sin and rebellion (Psalm 107:17).
Obedience and self-control are learned from suffering (Hebrews 5:8, Psalm 119:67, James 1:2-8, Philippians 3:10).
Voluntary suffering is one way to show the love of God (2 Corinthians 8:1-2, 9).
Suffering is part of the struggle against sin (Hebrews 12:4-13).
Suffering is part of the struggle against evil men (Psalm 27:12).
Suffering is part of the struggle for the kingdom of God (2 Thessalonians 1:5).
Suffering is part of the struggle for the gospel (2 Timothy 2:8-9).
Suffering is part of the struggle against injustice (1 Peter 2:19).
Suffering is part of the struggle for the name of Christ (Acts 5:41).
Suffering indicates how we can share in Christ’s suffering (2 Corinthians 1:5).
Endurance of suffering is a cause for reward (2 Timothy 2:12).
Suffering binds Christians together (Revelation 1:9).
Suffering teaches us God’s statues (Psalm 119:66-67, 71).
Suffering causes us to discipline our minds by making us focus on our hope on the grace to be revealed at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:6, 13).
God uses suffering to humble us at the right time (I Peter 5:6-7).
Suffering is sometimes necessary to win the lost (2 Timothy 2:8-10, 4:5-6).
Suffering strengthens us and allows us to comfort others who are weak.
(2 Corinthians 1:3-11).
Suffering is small in comparison to the value of knowing Christ (Philippians 3:8).
Suffering teaches us to give thanks in times of sorrow (1 Thessalonians 5:18, 2 Corinthians 1:11)
Suffering increases faith (Jeremiah 29:11).
Suffering stretches our hope (Job 13:14-15).

"Hosea"-Jacob & Lily
Its been a long time since weve made love
Its been a long time since weve even touched
But your heart is wild and your eyes they wonder why do I miss you
And you promised me that we’d last forever
You promised me that we’d stick together
But your heart is wild and your eyes they wonder why do I miss you
And it’s a fast deep slow found wonder
Don’t know where it started or what went wrong
Could you carry me through the fire into the deepest part of river
I remember the summer and that sweet rain,
moments of silence moments of pain
But your heart is wild and your eyes they wonder why do I miss you
And now your satisfied with half as much,
I see you justified on your homemade crutch
But your heart is wild and your eyes they wonder why do I miss you
And it’s a fast deep slow found wonder
Don’t know where it started or what went wrong
Could you carry me through the fire into the deepest part of river
Its been a long time since weve even touched
But your heart is wild and your eyes they wonder why do I miss you
And you promised me that we’d last forever
You promised me that we’d stick together
But your heart is wild and your eyes they wonder why do I miss you
And it’s a fast deep slow found wonder
Don’t know where it started or what went wrong
Could you carry me through the fire into the deepest part of river
I remember the summer and that sweet rain,
moments of silence moments of pain
But your heart is wild and your eyes they wonder why do I miss you
And now your satisfied with half as much,
I see you justified on your homemade crutch
But your heart is wild and your eyes they wonder why do I miss you
And it’s a fast deep slow found wonder
Don’t know where it started or what went wrong
Could you carry me through the fire into the deepest part of river

"Circles"-Switchfoot
Another day
Another sunrise
Another factory call
Another night
Another sunset
Another freefall
Am I alive?
Am I on purpose?
Within the weakness
Within the weakness...
Spinning out in circles
In circles, in circles
Spinning out in circles
In circles, in circles
Another day
Another lifetime
Another engine stalls
Another line
Another freeway
Another freefall
I've lost all that I wanted to leave
I've lost all that I wanted to be
Don't believe that there's nothing that's true
Don't believe in this modern machine!
The modern machine
In circles
Another sunrise
Another factory call
Another night
Another sunset
Another freefall
Am I alive?
Am I on purpose?
Within the weakness
Within the weakness...
Spinning out in circles
In circles, in circles
Spinning out in circles
In circles, in circles
Another day
Another lifetime
Another engine stalls
Another line
Another freeway
Another freefall
I've lost all that I wanted to leave
I've lost all that I wanted to be
Don't believe that there's nothing that's true
Don't believe in this modern machine!

Rubix Cube
Right now my life feels a lot like a Rubix Cube...frustrating and unsolvable!
I feel like the Lord keeps revealing these mini revelations to me and I get so excited because I think that I'm a little bit closer to figuring out why I'm so screwed up but then that mini revelation just leads the realization that there are about a bazillion more mini revelations I need to be revealed to me. And if that weren't frustrating enough, the more things I realize the harder it's been to come to grips with each of them. Not the funnest but definitely the most "real" my life has ever been and words can't express how thankful I am that God is so patient with me. I've been expecting him to throw in the towel and he doesn't...I don't think I'll ever understand why...

Your Love is a Song-Switchfoot
I hear you breathing in
Another day begins
The stars are falling out
My dreams are fading now, fading out
I've been keeping my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my eyes wide open
Ooh, your love is a symphony
All around me, running through me
Ooh, your love is a melody
Underneath me, running to me
Oh, your love is a song
The dawn is fire bright
Against the city lights
The clouds are glowing now
The moon is blacking out, is blacking out
So I've been keeping my mind wide open
I've been keeping my mind wide open, yeah
Ooh, your love is a symphony
All around me, running to me
Ooh, your love is a melody
Underneath me, and into me
Oh, your love is a song
Your love is a song
Oh, your love is a song
Your love is strong
With my eyes wide open
I've got my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my hopes unbroken
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, your love is a symphony
All around me, running through me
Ooh, your love is a melody
Underneath me, running to me
Your love is a song
Yeah, yeah
Your love is my remedy
Oh, your love is a song

Something I wish I hadn't thought
I'm a coward and I find myself trying desperately to disprove this. But the more mind-twisting manipulations that remain dedicated to my idol of self simply show that I'm more of a coward than I allow myself to even realize. I'm terrified of the day that I see just how scared I really am because when that day comes i'll wonder if any of my motives or desires have ever been for anyone other than myself...
If that day ever comes, I will either really understand grace or realize that I don't really get it at all...but I think the really bad part is that I'm not sure what my response would be to either scenario.
I kind-of wish that I had never thought this, it hurts my pride too much.
