Yes.
So I listen to a random bunch of music.
Yesterday I came home from the library with:
-the soundtrack from the movie Valentine's Day
-Jack Johnson's newest cd: To The Sea &
-Peter Pan
A good mix if you ask me!
About Me

- Hi. You found me. Thanks for clicking over! Sit and stay awhile..... This is the view from my window... As I move around my little valley I call 'home,' I've had many different views & this is the one that I keep coming back to.

Beautiful
Beautiful. Beautiful.
I am lost for more to say.
Self doubt. Not measuring up.
Making judgments, assumptions.
Spitting out words that 'sound right.'
This is not of you.
I just want to worship you my Lord.
I just want to dwell in who you are.
May this be my prayer. My cry. My thought. My breath.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
You are so much bigger than my thoughts.
Than hers. Than the fact that I don't feel like I fit in. Belong. Matter.
You are so much bigger. & Beautiful.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Help me to get out of myself. To turn to you.
To see the bigness of You. & to forget me. What I want. What I feel. What I think. Everything that replaces You with me, self-doubt, lies, & Satan.

the lastest
Here is what my life has looked like the past few days:
Headed to Bako w/the sis on Friday (Milo greeted us @ the door :)
-Went to Baja Fresh with parents & watched Jensen Project w/the fam.
Did few little errands Saturday.
-Hung out @ sisters' house: watched tv & made super good summer food (grilled homegrown zuchinni, homegrown tomato salad, homemade basil lemonade, turkey burgers, & berry grunt dessert).
Went to 1st service w/parents Sunday morn.
-Leftover lunch, read book, headed out for the Hollywood Bowl! to see The Bird & the Bee, She & Him, & The Swell Sound. So great! got home super late, tired, & sweaty.
Slept in late Monday morn.
-Put on painting clothes & went to paint stuff for VBS @ sisters' church. Dinner w/whole fam.
Woke up Tuesday & repeated painting from Monday.
-Packed up car, & raced to Fresno. Made it in time for helping out w/WSM (Well Student Ministries -highschool) where we saw How To Train Your Dragon (my 3rd time!) @ our $3 theater! So fun- met tons of highschoolers- but forgot to get my sunglasses from Stacey :(
Got ready, made lists, & headed out to 3 grocery stores on Wednesday.
-After Winco, Grocery Outlet, and Fresh & Easy- definitely had a full fridge & freezer.
Had good friend Alexandra over & made couscous summery salad and zuchinni. Then had completely homemade strawberry shortcake w/whipped cream. (Alex literally licked her plate it was so good :) Then played Dutch Blitz & learned Durach. Watched JAG.
Got up late, cleaned, chores & caught up on blogs on Thursday.
-Parents arrived in town, finally signed lease papers to renew lease for 6 months!, ate awesome dinner, w/awesome rolls (from F&E), & more strawberry shortcake, Woodward Park library, target, & in bed by 10 o'clock!!
Woke up to parents packing & etc. Friday.
-Found out neighbors are moving out (loudly), finished up random tasks w/Dad (& his helpful drill:), read blogs, lunch, shower, errands, & hangout w/Rach's summer lifegroup tonight!
This week was filled with: Lots of boring, lots of fun, lots of laughter (w/Alex & parents), & lots of random times of waking up :)

New Song: Lead Me
Such an inspired, relevant, and convicting song!
I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling
But on the inside, I can hear her saying...
“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”
I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're in independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying...
“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”
So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I'm called to be
Oh, Father, show me the way
To lead them
Won't You lead me?
To lead them with strong hands
To stand up when they can't
Don't want to leave them hungry for love,
Chasing things that I could give up
I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
