| "24" - by Switchfoot
Twenty four oceans
Twenty four skies
Twenty four failures
Twenty four tries
Twenty four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
Twenty four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And I'm not who I thought I was twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
Twenty four reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still twenty four strong
See I'm not copping out not copping out not copping out
When You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising these twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts
But I want to be one today
Centered and true
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising the dead in me
I want to see miracles, see the world change
Wrestled the angel, for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And You're raising the dead in me
Twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts.
I'm not copping out. Not copping out. Not copping out. | | |
| "1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers assail me
to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3 Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet I will be confident.
4 One thing have I asked of the LORD,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to inquire in his temple.
5 For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
8 You have said, "Seek my face."My heart says to you,
"Your face, LORD, do I seek."
9 Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
O God of my salvation!
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the LORD will take me in.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they breathe out violence.
13 I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living!
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD!"
(Psalm 27 ESV)
So much can change in one year. So much can change in a month. So much can change in a day.
Yesterday my life was rocked yet again. My grandfather went to be home with the Lord. His hope, our hope is secure.
There is a peace that I cannot understand and a joy that I cannot express knowing that Lolo is in the presence of our Saviour.
The eyes that were closed so heavily because of hospital sedatives and multiple medications, are now wide open, gazing upon the beauty of the LORD. How amazing is that? To gaze, to look steadily and intently at His beauty.
In the last couple weeks we prayed for the Lord's will to be done. We waited. Our Father answered.
We continue to rest in who God is and what He has promised us.

| this is to my friend Christine- who is probably one of the few people i know that still reads this xanga and will ask me about the girl behind the words. who will tell me the truth whether i want to see it or not. who will, in the most genuine and transparent ways, show me what it means to live the life of one who is in Christ. thank you. you have been a tremendous blessing in my life. more than you will ever know. | | |
| ... to move...
...or not to move...
it's decision time. 
come next thursday, i'll have some clarity as to what this next year will hold- whether it's 16 months of school in Baltimore or another year of working in the ER. weighed out all the pros and cons. heard what everyone has to say about it. considered the cost- not just financially. lots to be praying about. trusting that it will work out for my good-whether i may initially think it's good or not. rejoicing in who i know God to be. come next friday, all these school decisions will be pushed out of my mind. shoot, forget school. i get to hang out with my bestest girls, Steen and Bets, for a whole 5 days! ;) ay buhay.

| that's what one of the NPs said about the craziness that was called today in the ER. it pretty much sums it. i love my job, but today in the er... sucked- but that was all because i sucked and i let circumstances and people get the best of me and i so easily forget where (or Who) my joy really lies in. sin is so subtle sometimes. it's scary. For me, the day began at 4:30 this morning with my house alarms going on and off because we kept having these black outs, in which the last one ran for about 1.5 hrs. not to mention, my dogs freaking out, and my brother walking around the dark with a knife because he thought someone had gotten into our house. and tonight, my monday ends with news that my friend's grandmother- who is very close to my family- has just gone home to be with Jesus. so... this is really what i'm thinking right now... a song that i've just come to love. sometimes a song just better captures whatever it is i'm feeling because i'm not too great with words. Before the Day "Last night when I was sleepin'
You were watching over me
While I dreamt about tomorrow
You knew my ev'ry need Now another day is waitin'
For me to make it through
And there's no way that I could face it
Without You Before the day slips away
I want to stop and say I love You, I love You
Before the world rushes in again
I want to stop and say there's none above You
There's none above You I'll just be still and know that You are God
Be still and know that You are God. There's something 'bout the morning'
The stillness of it all
That calms my heart to hear You
When you gently call Here I am in Your presence
Where I long to be
Alone with You in the silence
Rain down Your love and Your mercy
Whisper softly to me" | | |
