Psalms 62

Psalms 62
Shane & Shane

He’s the only one, strong enough to lean
My heaviness against, the weight of all my sin
Falling on a rock, leaning on a fortress
Oh the wall of God, Jesus
He won’t move

On God I rest, My salvation
My fortress, shall not be shaken
My mighty rock, and my glorious
I lay my head upon His chest
On God I rest

He’s the only one, strong enough to lean
My heaviness against, the weight of all my sin
Falling on a rock, leaning on a fortress
Oh the wall of God, Jesus
He won’t move

On God I rest, My salvation
My fortress, shall not be shaken
My mighty rock, and my glorious
I lay my head upon His chest
On God I rest

Oh I am calling out
Oh my soul
Oh my stubborn soul
Won’t you wait on Him
Wait in the quiet
Even in your fear
Oh your God is here, to lean on!
He won’t move

He has spoken
Hear his voice
I have come for the broken
So all ye weary come and rest

Psalms 62 ¹ Truly my soul finds rest in God;
   my salvation comes from him.
² Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
   he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
 ³ How long will you assault me?
   Would all of you throw me down—
   this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
⁴ Surely they intend to topple me
   from my lofty place;
   they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
   but in their hearts they curse.^[b]
 5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
   my hope comes from him.
⁶ Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
   he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God^[c];
   he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
⁸ Trust in him at all times, you people;
   pour out your hearts to him,
   for God is our refuge.
 ⁹ Surely the lowborn are but a breath,
   the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
   together they are only a breath.
¹⁰ Do not trust in extortion
   or put vain hope in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
   do not set your heart on them.
 ¹¹ One thing God has spoken,
   two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,
 ¹² and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;
and, “You reward everyone
   according to what they have done.”

i don't have anything to post on, so give me a moment to think of a good song. . . . . . wait! what about the one i'm listening to right now?  here you go (btw it only took me like five seconds to think of what to post on.)

Look up, it's up to you,
Remember all the reasons to give grace,
And mercy for all the time you're here.
I know,
I know it's true early on we've made to choose,
We all make diversions for the way we are,
When my eyes have to lead the way.

I get lost, I'm just a fool,
I can't get it back,
Get it back to you.
My hands are washed,
My heart is new,
When I get it back,
Get it back, to you.

Don't wait cuz you might miss the way that you'd get out of this.
And it's easy when you're living to forget,
I know you can't be lost,
But finding is the greatest cost.
We all know that getting back is only half the way,
When my eyes have to lead the way.

I get lost, I'm just a fool,
I can't get it back,
Get it back to you.
My hands are washed,
My heart is new,
When I get it back,
Get it back.

Get up, Get up,
The world is with you now,
Get up, Get up,
Your love will show you how,
Get up, Get up,
When there's nothing left to do,
Get up, Get up,
Ohhhhhhh ohhh.

I get lost, I'm just a fool,
I can't get it back,
Get it back to you.
My hands are washed,
My heart is new,
When I get it back,
Get it back, to you.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

so as y'all know today was black friday, a big day for sales at stores, and people line up at 4am in the morning to get the best deals.  so to bless these people we stood out there with them in the cold, and handed out hot chocolate.  there were quite a few people out.  after that we went home and crashed.  then when we were all up, we went to sam's club, mcdonalds, old navy, lifeway, gordman's, bed, bath, and beyond (yuck!), and target.  it was really disappointing 'cause when i got to gordman's the line was so long that i couldn't get the stuff i wanted.  there were literally fifty people in a line, i decided i wasn't just about to wait that long. . .  but i did get some cool new clothes from old navy and target.

oh! i almost forgot, my dad got me downhere's Christmas album called 'how many kings'.  and i love it!!! . i'll give you the greatest Christmas song ever wrote (IMHO):

How Many Kings

Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger

Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliness hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
Just a child, Is this who we’ve waited for?

Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
All that we have whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
It’s who we’ve waited for

How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me

All for me
All for you
All for me
All for you

Owwwwwwowow!!!

pardon the title, but i have good reason to yell at y'all.  so earlier this year, May i think, we were on vacation near the buffalo river, and i was flipping over my kayak, and the side came up and took my big toenail off of my left foot.  well it grew in wrong and now i have a really bad infection on my toe.  i went to the doctors yesterday, and now i am taking these ginormous antibiotic pills, and some ointment to put on my toe.  the doctor said it should be healed in a week or so.  i really hope so because we might start indoor soccer anytime now.  


happy thanksgiving y'all!

victory, 300lb trash cans, and dead squirrels

so a few things i wanted to share:  the colorado rapids did end up beating dallas in extra time, which i was really excited about, we got to go and work at the renfrows for seven hours yesterday, and we had our thanksgiving reenactment.  it was a lot of fun working at the renfrows, and one point when i was pulling down some ceiling boards, one fell and hit me really hard on the back of my head and i started bleeding, and my eyes were out of focus for a few seconds.  thankfully i wasn't hurt bad.  then me and nay-nay, (nathan hastings) were hauling a large trash can, weighing around three hundred pounds, to the dumpster.  the hardest part was that when we got it in the dumpster we had to close the door and dump it out, so it didn't fall out of the dumpster when we did.  then it fell over.  and it took us like ten minutes to yank it back up and then finally dump it all out.  oh, and i found a dead squirrel in the ceiling that i was pulling down. . . (yes, it was sick)

some random things. . .

so today we were supposed to go ice skating with our youth group, but the ice melted (i know, i was like 'who's ever heard of a ice rink melting?)  so then we decided to go to a concert with leeland, sanctus reel, and the afters, but it sold out before we could get tickets.  i am really bummed.  the only thing on the bright side is

1. we get to watch cranford tonight.  
2. the mls cup is being played for tonight, fc dallas vs. colorado rapids.  
3. we are going to go and help the renfrows at their new house. 

no one but me, is going to excited about #2, but i'm excited.  it's been a pretty bad night, so pray that it would be corrected by the rapids crushing fc dallas.  (fc dallas beat my team, the LA, Galaxy.)  i was pretty mad about that, but not too much.

embracing accusation _____ shane & shane

The father of lies
Coming to steal
Kill and destroy
All my hopes of being good enough
I hear him saying cursed are the ones
Who can’t abide
He’s right
Alleluia he’s right!


The devil is preaching
The song of the redeemed
That I am cursed and gone astray
I cannot gain salvation
Embracing accusation


Could the father of lies
Be telling the truth
Of God to me tonight?
If the penalty of sin is death
Then death is mine
I hear him saying cursed are the ones
Who can’t abide
He’s right
Alleluia he’s right!

The devil is preaching
The song of the redeemed
That I am cursed and gone astray
I cannot gain salvation
Embracing accusation

Oh the devil’s singing over me
An age old song
That I am cursed and gone astray
Singing the first verse so conveniently
over me

He’s forgotten the refrain. . .

Jesus saves!


amen!, what an amazing song!  this is my favorite song right now.  rarely will any lyrics get better than this.

man, i am so itchy. . .

sorry i haven't been posting or reading my blog much lately, but i think i should tell you why.  mondays, we are off of computer, tuesday i ate something that didn't agree with my tummy (yes i just said tummy) and i lost it a few hours later, and today we were doing work at the renfrow's new house (hayden, hayley, and tdhhrree).  we had a lot of fun, but we worked with fiberglass, and that's why i said i was itchy.  we were like totally  pulling down ceilings, insulation, and breaking apart dressers and cabinets.  then when it was done, we piled up some mattresses and jumped off the dumpster onto the mattresses.  at first we just jumped down feet first then i did a front-flip off and onto the mattresses.  then i just like let myself fall off the dumpster.  it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!  but i am sooo itchy!

Well, well, well...

sheesh!  i am going to be so busy, so don't blame me if i don't post much this week.  i've got my uncle, aunt, and three cousins driving in from california.  my uncle has been out of work for a while, so he's coming out here to look for a job, please pray that the lord would supply him with a job to provide for his family.  they are going to be with us for two weeks, please pray for my sanity. . .

pumas, pet co., and 5$ footlongs

soooooooooooooo. . .  yesterday mom, aunt robbie, kwinn, chloe, clarity, covey, and i went out shopping at the mall.  and yes, kwinn and i were forced to wander the mall for three hours, while mom stayed all of her time in one store. Loft.  kwinn and i calculated that we went to fourteen different stores, and spent almost a hundred dollars.  the stores included, petco, candy craze, hibbit sports, and the foodcourt, (these are only a few select, spots).  we were getting hungry and so we almost bought a footlong at subway to share.  i bought these bad boys at the shoe depot.

these are indoor soccer shoes, which i will hopefully be using to play in sometime in the winter.  we will play indoor soccer with a weighted ball and a field that is half as big as a normal regulation field.  it is beastly.

just being random. . .

so i was just being a bit random, which is surprising for me, but i had some fun taking pictures of whatever i felt like.

                                                   ^Covey was putting on a fashion show^

                                         ^Clarity always has to make a funny face for a picture^

                                                                         ^ Chloe^

                                                            ^Covey just being silly^

                                       ^Kaleb got a bit mad at me. . . haven't the foggiest why^

                                         ^Then he decided it would be funny to conk me out^

                                                     ^This is one of my favorite shirts^

right now my aunt is in from CA, she is my mom's sister and liz and bobby's mother.  you know. . . my cousin's who just came over a few weeks ago?  then on saturday, we will have my aunt Jen, uncle Nate, and my three cousins, maverick, wyatt, and jesse over.  they are some of the cutest little kids you will ever see.  i will try to get some pictures of them, they will be here for two weeks.  it's going to be crazy.

Burn us UP!

do you ever wish you could have great faith? faith that would cause you to be willing to lose your life, just in order not to forsake God?  i was recently listening to a shane & shane song called 'burn us up', and it struck me. . . these guys were willing to give thier lives to a fiery furnace, rather than forsake God.  it's talking about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

There were three, before the king
There were three who wouldn’t bow to him
For when you heard, the music play
And you were standing you would burn
They looked at him and said…

Burn us up! Burn us up! Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire
We give up! We give up! We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!

The king enraged, at what they said
Sent the three away to find their death
The palace stopped in unbelief
When the guilty raised their hands to sing
They looked at him and said…Burn us up! Burn us up! Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire
We give up! We give up! We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!

You are able to deliver from the fire of affliction
It’s the declaration of my Lord
You’re not an image of gold
You’re the God of old
You have made us, come and save us
We are Yours
But even if You don’t, if you don't 
But even if You don’t, if you don't
We will burn! we will burn!
We will burn!

Burn us up! Burn us up! Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire
We give up! We give up! We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!

wow,. . . . . can you believe that? 
You are able to deliver from the fire of affliction
It’s the declaration of my Lord
You’re not an image of gold
You’re the God of old
You have made us, come and save us
We are Yours. . . But even if You don’t,
We will burn!
oh, if only i had that kind of faith. . .

The final stand. . .

well, today we had the last game of the season.  and lets just say we didn't do so hot, partly because we were missing kade, nathan, and one of our best defensive players, and because they had two new guys that were totally ridiculous.  i mean, we played three games against them and i ref'd one, and i had never seen this guy before, he beat me at least five times, he was so fast.  then on top of all that, i really jacked-up my knee.  me and another dude were going down the middle, he was like two times as big as me, and i stepped in front of him to get the ball, and well, all i got was dirt.  to put it lightly, he totally bulldozed me over like a semi and a small car.  i cut it up a bit and it's all swollen.  it really hurts when i walk.  but the good news is, we are having our foreign exchange students over for the afternoon, that'll be fun.  we recently got some new ones, and i haven't met them yet.  until next post. . . ttfn!
Ky
and btw the score was 9-1 fayettville.

Leave it all

tomorrow is our last game of the season!  how time has flown!  i love playing, and tomorrow when we play fayettville, i am going to LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FIELD!!!!  i'm going to miss playing, but i had tons of fun, while playing though.  the good thing is, we play fayettville, and we can beat them, the only problem is, we might lose, 'cause kade and nate aren't going to be their.  i'm already missin' kade, and he's only been gone for a day....  don't forget to pray for him and nate!  he won't be back for another two weeks. :(

Only Hope

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write
over and over again
I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and
over again


So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope


Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have
for me over again


So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope


I give You my apathy
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back


So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope


oh. my. gosh. i love this song soooooooooooooooooooooooo much. it is so beautiful, and it has great lyrics.

Princess Cali

 i was taking the cutest pictures of my sister, i don't really know how to edit them cause i'm not really that into photography, so her eyes are a bit red.

yeah i know she is the cutest ever.  it's almost as if she was posing for the picture.  she's lying in my younger brother's lap, she was really happy.

1000 miles apart

I wonder when this poison
Seed made a root and grew a weed
I wonder when I taught my feet
Not to walk down certain streets
I want to feel what I believe:
That we are all the same
It's not our houses,
It's our hearts 1000 miles apart

You stay there, and I'll stay here,
Into our corners we disappear
And we don't ever have to talk,
'Cause you like hip hop and I like rock
But sometimes thoughts hurt just as bad
As striking cheeks with hands
It's less our homes
And more our hearts 1000 miles apart

When will we have eyes to see?
When will we learn?
Will we ever have eyes to see
That from our colors we learn?

A change of heart, a change of tune,
Can we forgive each others' wounds?
Can we cut down this fence of weeds,
And neighbors, close as brothers, be?
Cannot love conquer even when we don't look the same?
'Cause we don't have to keep our hearts 1000 miles apart

this is a really good song done by downhere. you know, i used to listen to downhere a lot but i never really listened to their lyrics, and so i recently started really listening to some of their songs. they have some of the most christian lyrics i have ever heard. these guys are really reping Christ.  and their music is superb.
