C.S. Lewis tribute :)

So C.S. Lewis is my absolutley favorite author. I love his books, they truly mesmorize me. When I read them, I get lost, lost in this wonderfull world of happiness and light, a fairy tale. I can get away from the busyness of life and settle down with one of his books and feel free. So I decided I was going to do kind of a tribute to him. Whenever I see a quote that I like, or a line in a book, or anything, I'm going to post it! :) Today's is quite awesome I must tell you.


“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

Weather

The sun is out, it's a clear sky and I am LOVING every bit of it!! God has created such a beautiful world. :) I can't wait till' tonight to see the absolutely, positutely, wonderfully, beautifully, amazingly awesome STARS! They are my favorite. But as for now, I'm gonna go swing with Michael. :D
If you are reading this, as soon as you get done, go outside and enjoy the weather. :)

Oh and by the way, Happy Birthday Garry!!

The Song of My Life

So I took a WONDERFUL nap today, and woke up with my favorite song in my head. I shall write the lyrics down for you, prepare yourself for awesomeness. :)


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 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 galaxies 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.

"Only Hope"


Now are those lyrics just crazy peaches or what? We'll say that's the song of the week. Every Sunday I'll have a new song to put up here that really attracts my attention, impacts me, or just makes me want to dance! lol And you all can go look them up and see how awesome they are for yourself. :)

It's a surprise!!

So I found out today that my big brother, David, is going to ask Jennifer Prevatt to marry him. Is that crazy or what? Two siblings getting married within two years. sheesh. Slow down a second please! My mom told me this morning and I was completely speechless, I knew I didn't really want him to get married cause' I'd miss him a lot, and you know, he's MY brother, why should I want to share him with someone else? But now, I realize that I was being a tad selfish. God wasn't selfish with his son when He sent him to DIE, He wasn't like, "I don't want to share my son with all those sinner people down there!" He gave his only son to come here to earth, to live, and die for us. I still can't get over that. I'm not perfectly ready to let David go yet, but I want him to be happy. I know that God has a plan for his life, and mine. He'll give me peace about the whole thing, cause' he's just awesome like that. :)
