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!

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.
