"I Need You To Love Me"

May 21, 2006Why, why are You still here with me
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You

[Chorus:]
But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me

I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how You could cherish me
'Cause You're a God who has all things
And still You want me

[Chorus:]
But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me

Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been

May 18, 2006so.. God's just totally been teaching me how important patience is... and on top of that... how much i need to just trust Him... and the more He shows me this... the more i realize that i can't have patience if i'm not trusting God. it's so freeing just to trust Him...

*last night i got a total of 11 hrs of sleep! is that possible? pretty sure it's flippin' sweet!

*then i spent half the day at the DMV... why you say? well.. A. b/c genius me apparently through mine out b/c it was in my envelope that had my boarding passes from my freshman flight... and B. b/c last summer i never got off my GDL (graduated license)... so yeah... i spent the day.. but hey... atleast i have a better picture now?

*so then after dinner i went shopping for camp... i got some cool short... another jean skirt.. some wife beaters (i need long undershirts)... and some t-shirts... but it was fun b/c my brother went w/ me... sometimes he drives me nuts... but right now i'm trying to take in all the time he gives me since i won't always have him. :) i do love him... sometimes. ;)

*i'm soo stoked about camp! and yet.. i feel so unqualified... but today God totally reminded me of what my friend Mike Jones always says "God doesn't call the qualified... He qualifies the called." so God's totally been encouraging me... and reminding me that this is such a privilage... i may never get another chance like this... i certainly hope i do... but what if i don't? it's all for Him! ~Hopes

who can find a viruous woman?

May 14, 2006

i hate how so many women look at Proverbs 31 as condemning... it shouldn't be... God's word shows us our short comings that it may bring us hope. we have to see who we are... so we can understand who God wants us to be.

here's two of my favorite verses of hope... this is the woman i want to be...

vs. 26 "She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tounge is the law of kindness."

vs. 30 "Favour is deceitful, and Beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord shall be praised."
