Happy Birthday

Tu me manque et je t'aime toujours.
I promise we'll walk the streets of Paris together one day...

A prayer

Restoration-
the song of Your redeemed.
My song, here, now and forevermore.
God, I do not understand so many
of the hows and whys,
the hurt, pain and confusion,
but I know that You reign.
You, Oh Lord, are Light.
Your Spirit resides in me
and if I let it,
has the ability
to move immovable mountains
to illuminate the hidden corners of my heart
to bring me to shalom.
For You, Holy Father, are greater than all.
Have mercy on me, the moments I forget.
Have grace surround me, the moments I feel the weight of failure.
Your love is never ending.
In You I put my hope.
In You I find my strength.
For I have experienced the other end.
I remember the taste of ashes,
the poison I've swallowed.
How could I not chose Your love.
For it is a love sweeter than honey,
richer than all treasures of the earth.
You are worthy of all my praise, all my affections, my dreams and my soul.
Thank You, because You are the Restorer and Redeemer.
And You will continue the good work You have started in me...
I'll hold You to it.
In Your perfect and holy Spirit, I pray
amen.

seriously..

Really? No new Grey's Anatomy OR Modern Family this week?! Ugh. So not cool. Those are my only two tv vices... I'm just going to go to bed haha. TOMORROW'S FRIDAY:) Peace.

pajama day.

Today, its rainy. I don't usually like rain, but I welcome it with open arms today. It's 2:10pm and I have yet to get a shower or do anything productive (and its the middle of the week..) Completely unheard of in my life. Loving itt:) Partly started this way due to the fact that I woke up not feelin so swift, then went back to sleep, and ventured downstairs to realize I had NO COFFEE. I was entirely depressed with that, and have since used it as an excuse all day to do absolutely nothing.

I think now I will change my whole layout I made though. I don't like it.

Over.

It's been a great (but much too hectic) several weeks- sister in town a couple weekends, best friend in for a week from Colorado, lots of preparations for special Holy Week services, spring break for the kids at work (which means more work and field trips!), etc, etc. Something just seemed to be going on every day and every night. But today, it's over. Thank God. I am tired. I am so excited that spring is finally here! I can't wait to be back to a normal schedule this week and enjoy it more at my own pace. I forgot what is was like to breathe. I do have quite a bit to do, but they're my own things and can be done in my own time and in the comfort of pajamas if I want! haha.

Ah, today is a gorgeous day!.. for so many reasons.

But I'm not in the mood to try and update this thing, or write something thought provoking. It's my Sabbath. I have a date with the Creator of the Universe. Catch ya later.


(p.s.) Here's a good song that's playing through my head today. Quite fitting. Enjoy.
"These Are The Days"
