SINGLE

I pray for my heart would be satisfied with the lord

I pray for strength to stand up to the lies of the world

My heart has shattered far to many times

its broken and torn and hardly shines

Been thinking of love

and the thoughts that i shove

I want to be united one day

to start a family but i can only pray

For now is the time to love being free

to be used by God before a man gets down on one knee

I pray that i use my gift of singleness

to the young i will preach and hope they'll be blessed

but for now i grab Gods hand 

before i slip before i slip in the sand

I trust in you my lord

for these scars i cant afford

Your the only love i need

while the boys life you lead

And one day you'll let us meet

and the match will be far to neat

so il wait for him dear Lord

give me the patience Lord!

Grow up...

I dunno what to do anymore. 

Im sick and tired of living under their control

I know they love me

but when is enough enough?

how am i suppose to grow up 

if they wont let me?

I dream of getting away

of going somewhere new

but then id have to leave all of this behind

in the morning dew

what i want does not matter anymore

all i have to offer is tattered and worn

I want to grow face life

but your slow at letting go

I want to find my match

and hope it strikes a batch

when i think of what i want most

my memories turn to a toast

Hand in hand i imagine 

in the land that smiles in spring

If its not true

im sorry too

I want this more then ever 

to start on this endeavor 

but for now il wait

i just hope its not to late

I just want to be where you are

I want to be anywhere but here.
I want to be with you without fear

I want to know your going to be there
becuase i know boys like you are rare

on my knees i pray for you
longing for sometihg new

praying that God would fill your heart
for some reason i cant bear to be apart

God is my number one
my fear of this is none

I have faith
that il be safe
with you

whatever happens
you've changed my life

with your words my heart mends
the memories ive made are all new

we'll always be friends
cuz i cant bear to loose you

Dial up + start 2 Christmas break

So i am trying to refrain from throwing the fam. computer out the window. I HATE DIAL UP... if there is something i will never do... it is dial up. id rather not have internet access then have to DIAL UP! now that ive gotten over that...
christmas break........ has been crazy.
my parents got a cute old dog named missy...
i had to help my dad milk this morning which really is not something i enjoy but i guess someone has to do it. I actually dont mind the milking part if the cows behave and stuff runs smothly. its when you get a real bad kicker.. that doesnt wanna be milked... that is the problem...
I took a nap today... which was amazing! :D
other than that. my heart is happy. im enjoying being home.. but I also want to go back to school. not for class of course.. but for the enviroment and my social life! :D

Close to your heart

your so close to me 

but so far to see

in your arms

i dance 

to the rhythm

of your heart

as you look in my eyes

i peer thru the lies

that flood my brain

making me think your the same

as every other boy

who thought my heart was a 

TOY

Broken and alone id fall to the ground

fear kept me from making a sound

but your not like the rest

your patient and kind which is best

when you hold my hand

or walk with me in the sand

i know everything will be alright

and even though we may fight

we always work it out

without a single pout

jus your so close to me

your the boy that i need you to be

in your arms is where i want to stay

I hope it works out is what i pray!

Love never leaves:

love is a feeling that never goes away

you cant see it... but you can feel it

it is like the shadow that follows you so your not alone

that warm sensation when your out in the cold

Its something that can be given and received

a hope, a desire, a sensation

its accepting

:D Its love!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I transfered to Emmaus:

I came into Emmaus pursuing music education

I changed my major...

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY

~~~

I WANT TO BE YOUR GIRL

With you by my side

I dont have to worry

I will always be okay 

if you just hold me tonight

I want to be loved

i want to be your girl

But i dont understand

Why you did what you did

I dont understand

why you went thru 

all the 

pain

suffering

dying

for me

Lord help me to understand

help me to grasp your promises

I know you will never leave me

help me to accept your love

To dance by your side

to dance for you

filled with your spirt

in awe of you

I want to be your girl

I want to live for you

MYSPIRITUAL FORMATION SMALL GROUP--------->

 (Minus tammany)

ICE SKATING

Right before my Choir Concert

As finals begin... and the semester rolls to an end... i thank the lord for all the great people he has surrounded me with...   I pray that as christmas comes i dont get so rapped up in presents and trees... that i forget about the true meaning of christmas. 

                                                                                                  MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

My First

Today was crazy! 

I had a choir concert and I sang a short solo.  It went well.  After the concert my group of friends took a road trip to find ice cream!  

Im kind of scared because this is my first post... but at the same time i know that it has to start somewhere.  

I have a lot on my mind lately and I cant wait to finish this semester!  Im so happy that I made so many knew friends, but I also know that the space between the hard core studying is when we are tested, and when we are tested we grow.  My faith is so important to me... hence the reason I am attending a bible college.  I want to grow in my relationship with the lord.  I have a heart for the broken and I want to help people see the true meaning in life does not come from instant gratification but rather from unconditional love from our heavenly father!
