Now I tried last year, but this year I'm going to force myself. <br /><br />Wish me luck!<br />~Sam<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Instead of the work that you posted is there a red x? 'cause I've found a lot of my old stuff is like that. I don't know why either! Also are you guys able to change your 'mood' on your journals or does it just keep loading?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ No offense, but ... I feel like people on DA are getting too overly-dramatic. I think it's really stupid that anybody would stop being a friend because somebody didn't report chain mail crap. So let's see who will actually be that much of a jerk and start yelling at me for not reposting some copypasta. This is a test to see who is a real friend and who thinks the internet is a game where you must be perfect and do everything people tell you to. Repost this only if you want to and actually agree with it. If you don't, you're still a great friend because of what we've been through together and because you're a nice person, dangit.<br /><br />...Seriously, this whole chain crap is total blackmail that causes unneeded drama. Don't feel like you have to spread it. If anybody really acts like you're not their friend because you don't waste your journal, then that's their problem and they need to learn what friendship is about.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I was going through my email and found this sweatshirt in the newsletter I get from C28: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.c28.com/shopping/productdetailsSIZEAB.asp?recordid=12021&adid=4-1-09">[link]</a> . Now I went through it and found the text on the back of the sweatshirt absolutely amazing! Hope you enjoy reading it!<br /><br />(The text on the sweatshirt)<br /><br />My Child, <br /><br />Not only can I hear you, but I know everything about you. (Psalm139:1) I know when you sit down and when you rise up. (Psalm 139:2) I am familiar with all your ways. (Psalm 139:3) Even the very hairs on your head are numbered. (Matthew 10:29-31) For you were made in My image. (Genesis 1:27) In Me, you live and move and have your being. (Acts 17:27-28) <br /><br />For you are My offspring. (Acts 17:28) I knew you even before you were conceived. (Jeremiah 1:4-5) I chose you, when I planned creation. (Ephesians 1:11-12) You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in My book. (Psalm 139:15-16) I determined the exact time of your birth, and where you would live. (Acts 17:26) You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14) I knit you together in your mother's womb. (Psalm 139:13) And brought you forth on the day you were born. (Psalm 71:6) I have been misrepresented by those who don't know Me. (John 8:41, 42, 44) I am not distant and angry, but am the complete expression of love. (1 John 4:16) And it is My desire to lavish My love on you. Simply because you are My child, and I am your Father. (1 John 3:1) I offer you more than your earthly father ever could. (Matthew 7:11) For I am the perfect Father. (Matthew 5:48) <br /><br />Every good gift that you receive, comes from My hand. (James 1:17) For I am your provider, and I Meet all your needs. (Matthew 6:31-33) My plan for your future has always been filled with hope. (Jeremiah 29:11) Because I love you with an everlasting love. (Jeremiah 31:3) My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore. (Psalm 139:17-18) And I rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17) I will never stop doing good to you. (Jeremiah 32:40) For you are My treasured possession. (Exodus 19:5) I desire to establish you with all My heart, and all My soul. (Jeremiah 32:41) And I want to show you great and marvelous things. (Jeremiah 33:3) If you seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me. (Deuteronomy 4:29) Delight in Me, and I will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4) For it is I, who gave you those desires. (Philippians 2:13) I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine. (Ephesians 3:20-21) For I am your greatest encourager. (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17) And nothing will ever separate you from My love again. (Romans 8:38-39) I have always been your Father, and will always be your Father. (Ephesians 3:14-15) <br /><br />Love,<br />Your Heavenly Father<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ And coming from me, if it's in caps. It's gotta be important!! <br /><br />"DA Oddness abounds. If I or anyone else comments on one of your Deviations with a link that says "rofl this may be relevant to your interests" DO NOT CLICK ON IT! It will send you to a webpage that does not load, but somehow uses your account to quite randomly send the same comment link to other Deviations that you never even visited. This of course makes the system think you're spamming and refuses to let you comment further. Again, DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK!"<br /><br />"This is a warning, if you see myself or anyone else on deviant art post a comment anywhere on your page or deviations that reads "rofl this may be relevant to your interests" absolutely DO NOT click on it. I did and now my entire computer is screwed up. I repeat, DO NOT click on the link."<br /><br />MAKE A JOURNAL REPOSTING THIS STATEMENT!!! SPREAD THE WORD!!!"<br /><br />Even though I"m a little late in throwing this out... still it's very important not to click on ANYTHING that you think might be something other than it says that it is. <br /><br />Also I'd like to share with you guys never to click on links like the following (that I just saw in my pm inbox before I saw this message out there -thankfully I didn't click the link 'cause it was very offensive to me that someone would send me a message like the following: <br /><br />"Title:Sup, Samantha G. (lol)! )))  <br />From: !uvlouvromooc<br />Date: Feb 14, 2009, 2:28:09 PM <br />Message:hello, samantha-girlscout!! <br />your comment was really hot! ))) could u rate my nude photo art too?  there it is [link] "<br /><br />Just to clear something up with you guys:<br />1. I've never made a comment that was meant to come across as being 'hot'.<br />2. I don't look at nude photos<br />3. The member is already banned<br />and <br />4. I'm only putting this out for you guys so you can see an example of another kind of message that I'm guessing is going around as well. <br />PS: The link is not there because no one should be tempted to click it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Just remember guys: Think before you click!<br /><br />~Sam<br /><br /> ]]></description>

And I don't even have a good enough reason beyond busy scheduals and such (even though I should and probably <i>could</i> have found the time and energy to at least check a few things...)<br /><br />I'm very sorry.<br /><br />I plan on being on here more and more over the next few months.

I just sorta  got into the habit of not being on DA and now I'm trying to catch up a bit... BEFORE Nov. runs up and kicks me into a breakneck novel-writing frenzie... Yeah in other words I'm taking part in NaNoWriMo... so even less time on DA! Joy >,<;; I also read the whole Twilight Saga within 2 week's time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />... yeah... Another thing that kept me off of here. Besides that just life in general has kept me from here. <br /><br />I'm actually taking art at school for one sememster... so I should put that stuff up... but I"m being lazy... <br /><br />So in a nutshell. I'll try to be on more often, but once Nov. comes rolling around... I'll probably not be on since I've set up a 1,000 words-daily goal and honor band auditions, honor band two-day thing, Homework, Quiz Bowl... and just life in general. Oh well.

A Psalm of David.<br /> 1 Give ear to my words, O LORD,<br />         Consider my meditation.<br /> 2 Give heed to the voice of my cry,<br />         My King and my God, <br />         For to You I will pray.<br /> 3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD;<br />         In the morning I will direct it to You, <br />         And I will look up. <br />         <br /> 4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,<br />         Nor shall evil dwell with You.<br /> 5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;<br />         You hate all workers of iniquity.<br /> 6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;<br />         The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. <br />         <br /> 7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;<br />         In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.<br /> 8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;<br />         Make Your way straight before my face. <br />         <br /> 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;<br />         Their inward part is destruction; <br />         Their throat is an open tomb; <br />         They flatter with their tongue.<br /> 10 Pronounce them guilty, O God!<br />         Let them fall by their own counsels; <br />         Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, <br />         For they have rebelled against You. <br />         <br /> 11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;<br />         Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; <br />         Let those also who love Your name <br />         Be joyful in You.<br /> 12 For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous;<br />         With favor You will surround him as with a shield.<br /><br />---<br />I've started to read all of Psalms... this is the chapter I'm on today... hope you get something out of it!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the gospelÂs sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I DIDN"T FORGET THIS TIME!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t!:" title="w00t!" /> lol  I'm gonna be reading this this Saturday. Hope you like it!<br /><br />In classic literature, who do we mainly remember as the greatest all time lovers? Romeo and Juliet? Helen of Troy? Eliziabeth Barret Browning has been remembered for her classic love poems to her lover far away. In How Do I Love Thee? she expresses her love as an example of ultimate love in a human relationship.<br /><br />Elizabeth Barret Browning -How Do I Love Thee? <br /><br />How do I love thee? Let me count the ways./ I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace./ I love thee to the level of every day's most quiet need, by sun and candle-light./ I love thee freely, as men strive for right./ I love thee purely, as they turn from praise./ I love thee with the passion put to use in my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith./ I love thee with a love I seemed to lose with my lost saints. / I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.<br /><br /><br />What is perfect love? The entire Bible is an example of God's own love toward us. He illustrates His love and kingdom in the new Testament, through parables. One parable, in the book of Luke, illustrates it through a story of a father's unconditional love known as the ' Prodigal Son.'<br /><br /><br /><br />"There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. <br />"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. <br />"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' So he got up and went to his father. <br />"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. <br />"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son' <br />"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. <br />"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.' <br />"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!' <br />" 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "<br /><br />Neither time nor circumstances changed the love the Father felt toward his prodigal son. Time and circumstances never change the love of a husband and his wife feel for each other in the song Walking Her Home by Mark Schultz.<br /><br />Looking back <br />He sees it all <br />It was her first date the night he came to call <br />Her dad said, 'son <br />Have her home on time <br />And promise me youÂll never leave her side' <br />He took her to a show in town <br />And he was ten feet off the ground <br /><br />Chorus: <br />He was walking her home <br />And holding her hand <br />Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him <br />Down that old road <br />With the stars up above <br />He remembers where he was the night he fell in love <br />He was walking her home <br /><br />Ten more years in a waiting room <br />At half past one <br />So when the doctor said, 'come in and meet your... ]]></description>

It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker. <br /><br />- A snooze button is a poor substitute for no alarm clock at all. <br /><br />- When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break. <br /><br />- INDECISION is the key to FLEXIBILITY. <br /><br />- Succeed in spite of management. <br /><br />- Aim Low, Reach Your Goals, Avoid Disappointment. <br /><br />Stupid Computer Tricks <br />- Computer manufacturers are considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is. <br /><br />- A technician received a call from a man complaining that the system wouldn't read word processing files from his old diskettes. After trouble-shooting for magnets and heat failed to diagnose the problem, it was found that the customer labeled the diskettes then rolled them into his typewriter to type the labels. <br /><br />- A customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes to the technician. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with Xeroxed copies of her diskettes. <br /><br />- A technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back in the drive and close the door. The customer put the disk in, asked the tech to hold on, and was heard putting the phone down, getting up and closing the door to his room. <br /><br />- A customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then he removed all the keys and washed them individually. <br /><br />- An exasperated caller to Tech Support couldn't get her new computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse. <br /><br />- Another customer called Tech Support to say her brand-new computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in, and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked "What power switch?" <br /><br />Door Signs <br />A person checks into a hotel for the first time in his life, and goes up to his room. Five minutes later he calls the desk and say, "You've given me a room with no exit. How do I leave?" <br /><br />The desk clerk says, "Sir, that's absurd. Have you looked for the door?" <br /><br />The person says, " Well, there's one door that leads to the bathroom. There's a second door that goes into the closet. And there's a door I haven't tried, but it has a 'do not disturb' sign on it." <br /><br />Top 10 Drawbacks to Working in a Cubicle <br />10. Being told to 'Think outside the Box' when you're in a box all day long. <br /><br />9. Not being able to check e-mail attachments without turning around to see who's behind you. <br /><br />8. Fabric cubicle walls do not offer much protection from any kind of gunfire. <br /><br />7. Always having that nagging feeling that if you press the right button, you'll get a piece of cheese! <br /><br />6. Lack of roof rafters for the noose. <br /><br />5. The walls are too close together for the hammock to work right. <br /><br />4. There are 23 power cords but only ONE outlet. <br /><br />3. Prison cells are not only bigger... they also have beds. <br /><br />2. When tours come through, you get lots of peanuts thrown at you. <br /><br />1. You can't slam the door when you quit and walk out. (I have a piece of cardboard with a knob drawn on it. I slam that quite often. Not the same effect as wood, though).<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Stand In The Rain <br />
by: Superchic[k]<br />
music/vid with lyrics: <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=AKV82iskEZ0">[link]</a><br />
<br />
She never slows down.<br />
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down<br />
She won't turn around<br />
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down<br />
<br />
[CHORUS]<br />
So stand in the rain<br />
Stand your ground<br />
Stand up when it's all crashing down<br />
You stand through the pain<br />
You won't drown<br />
And one day, whats lost can be found<br />
You stand in the rain<br />
<br />
She won't make a sound<br />
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down<br />
She wants to be found<br />
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.<br />
<br />
[CHORUS]<br />
So stand in the rain<br />
Stand your ground<br />
Stand up when it's all crashing down<br />
You stand through the pain<br />
You won't drown<br />
And one day, whats lost can be found<br />
You stand in the rain<br />
<br />
So stand in the rain<br />
Stand your ground<br />
Stand up when it's all crashing down<br />
Stand through the pain<br />
You won't drown<br />
And one day, whats lost can be found<br />
<br />
[CHORUS]<br />
So stand in the rain<br />
Stand your ground<br />
Stand up when it's all crashing down<br />
You stand through the pain<br />
You won't drown<br />
And one day, whats lost can be found<br />
You stand in the rain<br />

<br />
I might have done this already, but I'll do it again if I did. I LOVE this song.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

And a love of your own,<br />
<br />
A love of your own.<br />

All the best things that life brings<br />
<br />
Loving an living,<br />
<br />
Hoping and Giving,<br />
<br />
I wish you Until we meet again<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know I know it's Sunday and not Monday, but hey I'm leaving soon (like as soon as I get done here and packing!) to go down to Texas and Kansas! lol Any way I thought I'd be safer than sorry since I'm not suref and when I'll get on. so you'll also see an early one for next week probably! Any way I just thought I'd give you a song that is about what the true meaning of Christmas is. Christ coming down to save all of us and then being born in us when we first become Christians.<br />
<br />
I Celebrate the Day<br />
by: Relient K<br />
<br />
And with this Christmas wish is missed<br />
The point I could convey<br />
If only I could find the words to say <br />
To let You know how much YouÂve touched my life<br />
Because here is where YouÂre finding me <br />
In the exact same place as New YearÂs eve<br />
And from a lack of my persistency<br />
WeÂre less than half as close as I want to be<br />
<br />
And the first time that You opened Your eyes <br />
Did You realize that You would be my Savior<br />
And the first breath that left Your lips<br />
Did You know that it would change this world forever<br />
And the first time that You opened Your eyes <br />
Did You realize that You would be my Savior<br />
And the first breath that left Your lips<br />
Did You know that it would change this world forever<br />
<br />
And so this Christmas IÂll compare <br />
The things I felt in prior years<br />
To what this midnight made so clear<br />
That You have come to meet me here<br />
<br />
To look back and think that<br />
This baby would one day save me<br />
In the hope that what You did<br />
That you were born so I might live<br />
To look back and think that<br />
This baby would one day save me<br />
<br />
And the first time that You opened Your eyes <br />
Did You realize that You would be my Savior<br />
And the first breath that left Your lips<br />
Did You know that it would change this world forever<br />
And the first time that You opened Your eyes <br />
Did You realize that You would be my Savior<br />
And the first breath that left Your lips<br />
Did You know that it would change this world forever<br />
<br />
And I, I celebrate the day<br />
That You were born to die<br />
So I could one day pray for You to save my life<br />
Pray for You to save my life<br />
Pray for You to save my life<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Music- <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvlM4ECm4sw&NR=1">[link]</a><br />
The sound and video are a little off, but at least you can listen to how it sounds<br />
<br />
<br />
All the colors of the rainbow<br />
All of voices of the wind<br />
Every dream that reaches out<br />
That reaches out to find where love begins<br />
Every word of every story<br />
Every star in every sky<br />
Every corner of creation lives to testify<br />
For as long as I shall live<br />
I will testify to love<br />
I'll be a whitness in the silences when words are not enough<br />
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above<br />
For as long as I shall live<br />
I will testify to love<br />
From the mountains to the valleys<br />
From the rivers to the sea<br />
Every hand that reaches out<br />
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace<br />
Every simple act of mercy<br />
Every step to kingdom come<br />
All the Hope in every heart will speak what love has done.<br />
<br />

Ok I went over to my friend Marissa's house and she decided to put a movie in as we both did our respective homework. She put the 100th episode of Touched by An Angel in and at first I was  paying attention to my homework and just a little to the TV, but soon as we all end up doing, I ended up watching the episode. Oh my gosh I totally forgot how much I totally loved this episode. I was bawling my eyes out by the end of the episode (I'm just that sappy). It's just one of THE best episodes of Touched by an Angel out there. I totally love this song too. I hope you like it too and can understand why I'm not putting anything Christmas in here till next week.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Music: <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=JtRhKhysPqI">[link]</a><br />
<br />
<br />
How long will my prayers seem unanswered<br />
Is there still faith in me to reach the end<br />
IÂm felling doubt, IÂm losing faith<br />
But giving up would cost me everything<br />
<br />
So IÂll stand in the pain and the silence<br />
And IÂll speak to the dark night<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
I believe in the sun even when itÂs not shining<br />
I believe in love even when I donÂt fell it<br />
And I believe in God even when heÂs silent<br />
And I believe<br />
<br />
Though I canÂt see my stories ending<br />
That doesnÂt mean the dark night has no end<br />
ItÂs only here that in find faith<br />
And learn to trust the one who writes my days<br />
<br />
So IÂll stand in the pain and the silence<br />
And IÂll speak to the dark night<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
I believe in the sun even when itÂs not shining<br />
I believe in love even when I donÂt fell it<br />
And I believe in God even when heÂs silent<br />
And I yeah<br />
<br />
No dark can consume light<br />
No death is greater than this life<br />
We are not forgotten<br />
Hope is found when we say<br />
<br />
Even when heÂs silent<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
I believe in the sun even when itÂs not shining<br />
I believe in love even when I donÂt fell it<br />
And I believe in God even when heÂs silent<br />
And I, I believe<br />
<br />
I Believe...<br />
I Believe...<br />
I Believe...<br />
<br />

<br />
When I went to the Toby Mac consert awhile back Barlow Girl was there and the story behind this song touched me, but the lyrics touched my heart even deeper.<br />
<br />
Please pray for me. I'm not going to get into detail, but something happened last December fifth. I've been trying and also am going to try to not let it hinder my life, but it's been and is hard.  So if I'm really  POed or on-edge Wensday then you know why. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Reach - Jill Parr<br />
Step up <br />
Come over to the other side <br />
Raise the bar higher <br />
Live an adventurous life <br />
Scale the mountains of faith <br />
Feel the wind on my face <br />
Hear destiny calling <br />
See the wonder of grace <br />
<br />
Reach up to God <br />
Reach into one another <br />
Reach out to the world <br />
Reach for the future <br />
<br />
I'm no longer comfortable <br />
Living a harmless life <br />
I'm standing counter to that <br />
I'm not afraid of the fight <br />
I'm tired of coming up short <br />
I'm tired of losing the faith <br />
This is a revolution <br />
This is my revolution <br />
<br />
I want to speak truer <br />
I want to think purer <br />
I want to walk straighter <br />
I've got to know His love is deeper <br />
I want to be kinder <br />
I've got to press harder <br />
I'm at the end of myself <br />
I'm at the end of myself <br />
<br />
I've got to let go <br />
I've got to trust Him more completely <br />
I've got to hold onto hope <br />
I know HIs love is changing me <br />
I feel the peace returning <br />
I feel a fire burning <br />
This is my revolution <br />
This is our revolution <br />
This is our future<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ We Need Each Other<br />
by: Sanctus Real<br />
<br />
I think I caught a glimpse of <br />
Life without friends <br />
Bitter, empty, hollow, dark and lonely <br />
We never meant to hurt each other <br />
So CanÂt we trust again <br />
And take it as a chance <br />
To keep on growing <br />
<br />
I donÂt know why it doesnÂt come easy <br />
But I know that we could be happy <br />
If weÂd only learn to love <br />
<br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
So whatÂs the fighting for <br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
Please donÂt close the door <br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
Through all the highs and lows <br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
Cuz no oneÂs meant to live alone <br />
<br />
Life revolves around the need <br />
Of having someone <br />
Causing every complicated feeling <br />
Oh and I donÂt want to loose you <br />
And there is nothing wrong with <br />
Telling me what you need <br />
To keep our love strong <br />
<br />
ItÂs just a part of being a family <br />
Taking the good with the bad and the ugly <br />
If we could only learn to love <br />
<br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
So whatÂs the fighting for <br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
Please donÂt close the door <br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
Through all the highs and lows <br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
Cuz I donÂt want to be alone <br />
<br />
Oh Oh we need each other <br />
Fathers and Mothers <br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
All your sisters and brothers <br />
Oh oh we need each other <br />
We need friends and lovers <br />
Oh Oh we need each other <br />
<br />
Well I need you <br />
You need me <br />
Cuz thatÂs the way <br />
ItÂs meant to be <br />
I need you <br />
We need each other <br />
(I donÂt want to be alone)<br />
(x2) <br />
<br />
--- <br />
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS SONG TO COME OUT IN FEBRUARY!!!<br />
<br />
And It's true you know. We need each other to lean on as friends and siblings through Christ.<br />
<br />
Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV<br />
24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one anotherÂand all the more as you see the Day approaching. <br />
<br />
NKJV<br />
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.<br />
<br />
KJV<br />
 24And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: <br />
<br />
 25Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "Voice Of Truth"<br />
<br />
Oh what I would do to have<br />
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in<br />
Onto the crashing waves<br />
<br />
To step out of my comfort zone<br />
To the realm of the unknown where Jesus is<br />
And He's holding out his hand<br />
<br />
But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me<br />
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed<br />
The waves they keep on telling me<br />
Time and time again. 'Boy, you'll never win!'<br />
"You'll never win"<br />
<br />
But the voice of truth tells me a different story<br />
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"<br />
And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"<br />
Out of all the voices calling out to me<br />
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth<br />
<br />
Oh what I would do to have<br />
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant<br />
With just a Sling and a stone<br />
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors<br />
Shaking in their armor<br />
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand<br />
<br />
But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me<br />
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed<br />
The giant keeps on telling me<br />
Time and time again "boy, you'll never win!<br />
"You'll never win"<br />
<br />
But the stone was just the right size<br />
To put the giant on the ground<br />
And the waves they don't seem so high<br />
From on top of them looking down<br />
I will soar with the wings of eagles<br />
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus<br />
Singing over me<br />
<br />
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth<br />
<br />
(I watched 'Facing the Giants yesterday at church. More comments will be added if time allows.)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I was listeing to the refuge and heard this song and remembered how much I really like the meaning behind it. You never know what someone's going through and so "you also shouldn't judge a book by it's cover" as the saying goes. Just think 'bout it and think about what would you do if you were in his/her shoes before you say anything bad to them or about them.<br />

<br />
Instead<br />
by: Stacie Orrico<br />
I saw him shaking his change in a coffee cup<br />
Asked for a dollar but I told the man to give it up<br />
Said he's hungry i dont think that it's true<br />
I bet my dollar he'd just spend it on booze<br />
I turned my back on him and began to walk away<br />
But then i heard a little voice inside me say<br />
What if it's really true? What if he's hungry?<br />
What if it's not for him? Does he have a family?<br />
<br />
How'd you get here <br />
How'd you end up on the street<br />
Where did you go wrong<br />
Wonder what I'd do if it were me<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
A new point of view<br />
A walk in your shoes <br />
I wish I could get inside your head<br />
To see what you see<br />
When you look at me<br />
Cause I could have lived your life instead<br />
<br />
Verse2:<br />
It was 90 degrees in the Summer heat<br />
She was veiled in black all the way down to her feet<br />
This is America doesn't she know<br />
Somebody take her shopping buy her some clothes<br />
She came up to me I didn't understand a word<br />
I was about to leave then another thought occurred<br />
She must be really lost scared and frustrated<br />
I should try again to see what she's saying<br />
<br />
How'd you get here<br />
How'd you get so far from home<br />
What was it that made you leave<br />
Wonder what I'd do if it were me<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
A new point of view<br />
A walk in your shoes<br />
I wish I could get inside your head<br />
To see what you see when you look at me <br />
Cause I could have lived your life instead<br />
<br />
I wanna see oh see what you see<br />
And I wanna feel oh feel just what you feel<br />
<br />
Chorus(2x)<br />
<br />
Cuz I could have lived your life instead(2x)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
HAPPINESS IS FINDING A PENCIL.<br />
PIZZA WITH SAUSAGE<br />
TELLING THE TIME.<br />
HAPPINESS IS LEARNING TO WHISTLE.<br />
TYING YOUR SHOE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.<br />
<br />
HAPPINESS IS PLAYING THE DRUM IN YOUR OWN SCHOOL BAND.<br />
AND HAPPINESS IS WALKING HAND IN HAND.<br />
HAPPINESS IS TWO KINDS OF ICE CREAM.<br />
KNOWING A SECRET.<br />
CLIMBING A TREE.<br />
HAPPINESS IS FIVE DIFFERENT CRAYONS.<br />
CATCHING A FIREFLY.<br />
SETTING HIM FREE.<br />
<br />
HAPPINESS IS BEING ALONE EVERY NOW AND THEN.<br />
AND HAPPINESS IS COMING HOME AGAIN.<br />
HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING,<br />
DAY TIME AND NIGHT TIME TOO.<br />
FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL<br />
THAT'S LOVED BY YOU.<br />
<br />
HAPPINESS IS HAVING A SISTER.<br />
SHARING A SANDWICH.<br />
GETTING ALONG.<br />
HAPPINESS IS SINGING TOGETHER WHEN DAY IS THROUGH,<br />
AND HAPPINESS IS THOSE WHO SING WITH YOU.<br />
HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING,<br />
DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME TOO.<br />
FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL<br />
THAT'S LOVED BY YOU.<br />

I just wanted to share a littl bit from the musical that we are doing at my school and to make you guys think of all of the little things in life that can bring you happiness. Yes happiness is a different thing than joy and the only lasting joy is having Jesus in your heart, but if you look around you and count your blessings then you can think of all of the things that God has given you. Just yeah... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I hope you guys have a good day!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

New International Version (NIV)<br />
Copyright Â© 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society<br />
<br />
    <br />
<br />
 18 Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; <br />
       he rises to show you compassion. <br />
       For the LORD is a God of justice. <br />
       Blessed are all who wait for him! <br />
<br />
 19 O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. 20 Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." 22 Then you will defile your idols overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold; you will throw them away like a menstrual cloth and say to them, "Away with you!" <br />
<br />
 23 He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful. In that day your cattle will graze in broad meadows. 24 The oxen and donkeys that work the soil will eat fodder and mash, spread out with fork and shovel. 25 In the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall, streams of water will flow on every high mountain and every lofty hill. 26 The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the LORD binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted.<br />

Isaiah 30:18-26 (New King James Version)<br />
New King James Version (NKJV)<br />
Copyright Â© 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.<br />
<br />
  <br />
<br />
God Will Be Gracious<br />
    18 Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; <br />
      And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. <br />
      For the LORD is a God of justice; <br />
      Blessed are all those who wait for Him. <br />
       19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; <br />
      You shall weep no more. <br />
      He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; <br />
      When He hears it, He will answer you. <br />
       20 And though the Lord gives you <br />
      The bread of adversity and the water of affliction, <br />
      Yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, <br />
      But your eyes shall see your teachers. <br />
       21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, <br />
<br />
      Â This is the way, walk in it,Â <br />
      Whenever you turn to the right hand <br />
      Or whenever you turn to the left. <br />
       22 You will also defile the covering of your images of silver, <br />
      And the ornament of your molded images of gold. <br />
      You will throw them away as an unclean thing; <br />
      You will say to them, ÂGet away!Â <br />
       23 Then He will give the rain for your seed <br />
      With which you sow the ground, <br />
      And bread of the increase of the earth; <br />
      It will be fat and plentiful. <br />
      In that day your cattle will feed <br />
      In large pastures. <br />
       24 Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground <br />
      Will eat cured fodder, <br />
      Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan. <br />
       25 There will be on every high mountain <br />
      And on every high hill <br />
      Rivers and streams of waters, <br />
      In the day of the great slaughter, <br />
      When the towers fall. <br />
       26 Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, <br />
      And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, <br />
      As the light of seven days, <br />
      In the day that the LORD binds up the bruise of His people <br />
      And heals the stroke of their wound.<br />

I just thought I'd share this. (in two different versions... lol) Some of my friends (who are twins) are going through a REALLY hard time. I just thought I'd ask for your guys's prayer for them.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Things Left Unsaid - Disciple<br />
<br />
It's just a matter of time a few days ago <br />
I saw you, you were fine <br />
Remembering what you said <br />
About the book you read <br />
The one I got you <br />
The Beginning of the End <br />
Oh how we'd talk <br />
For hours upon end <br />
What I give <br />
Just to do it again <br />
But you're lying there <br />
In this hospital bed <br />
Won't you open you eyes <br />
And let's talk once again <br />
<br />
(CHORUS) <br />
If you fly away tonight <br />
I want to tell you that I love you <br />
I hope that you can hear me <br />
I hope that you can feel me <br />
If you fly away tonight <br />
I want to tell you that I'm sorry <br />
That I never told you <br />
When we were face to face <br />
<br />
Well I've been here all night <br />
And I'm watching you <br />
Breathe in and breathe out <br />
Is it really you <br />
Or just a machine <br />
That's giving you life <br />
And it's making seem <br />
That there could be hope <br />
I could say to your face <br />
If it weren't for you <br />
That there would be no grace <br />
That's covered my life <br />
You took the time <br />
To speak into my mind <br />
And my heart <br />
Words of life <br />
<br />
(CHORUS) <br />
<br />
So goodbye for now <br />
And I'll see you again <br />
Some way, somehow <br />
When it's my turn <br />
To go to the other side <br />
I'll hold you again <br />
And melt at your smile <br />
Now all I have <br />
Are the ones that I'm with <br />
And you taught me not <br />
To take for granted <br />
The time that we have <br />
To show that we care <br />
Speak into their minds <br />
And their hearts <br />
While their here <br />
And say I love you <br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
My Grandma died today. I'm not going to be around here or school 'till Monday. <br />
<br />
My grandma had been in a nursing home for a long time and she had been getting pretty bad, but... *sighs* I really don't know how to react since I don't remember her besides her being in the nursing home.<br />
<br />
Could you guys just pray for me and my family? I'd really appreciate it... a lot.<br />
<br />
---<br />
UPDATE:<br />
My Mamaw (great grandma) might have cancer and is sick. ... would you mind praying for her?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Music: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6zdihmwy1M">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Here I am Lord and I'm drowning <br />
In your sea of forgetfulness <br />
The chains of yesterday surround me <br />
I yearn for peace and rest <br />
I don't want to end up where you found me <br />
And it echoes in my mind <br />
Keeps me awake tonight <br />
<br />
I know you've cast my sins as far <br />
As the East is from the West <br />
And I stand before you now <br />
As though I've never sinned but today <br />
I feel like I'm just one mistake away <br />
From you leaving me this way <br />
<br />
Jesus can you show me <br />
Just how far the East is from the West <br />
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been <br />
Come rising up in me again <br />
In the arms of your mercy I find rest <br />
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West <br />
From one scarred hand to the other <br />
<br />
I start the day the war begins <br />
And less reminding of my sin <br />
Time and time again <br />
Your truth Is drowned out by the storm I'm in <br />
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away <br />
From you leaving me this way <br />
<br />
Jesus can you show me <br />
Just how far the East is from the West <br />
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been <br />
Come rising up in me again <br />
In the arms of your mercy I find rest <br />
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West <br />
From one scarred hand to the other <br />
<br />
I know you've washed me white <br />
Turned my darkness into light <br />
I need your peace to get me through <br />
To get me through this night <br />
I can't live by what I feel <br />
But by the truth your word reveals <br />
I'm not holding on to you <br />
But your holding on to me <br />
Your holding on to me <br />
<br />
Jesus, you know just how far <br />
The East is from the West <br />
I don't have to see the man I've been <br />
Come rising up in me again <br />
In the arms of your mercy I find rest <br />
(The arms of your mercy I find rest) <br />
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West <br />
From one scarred hand to the other (x2) <br />
<br />
(Just how far, the East is from the West) (x3) <br />
<br />
From one scarred hand to the other<br />
<br />

<br />
Month one<br />
<br />
Mommy<br />
I am only 8 inches long<br />
but I have all my organs.<br />
I love the sound of your voice.<br />
Every time I hear it<br />
I wave my arms and legs.<br />
The sound of your heart beat<br />
is my favorite lullaby.<br />
<br />
Month Two<br />
<br />
Mommy<br />
today I learned how to suck my thumb.<br />
If you could see me<br />
you could definitely tell that I am a baby.<br />
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.<br />
It is so nice and warm in here.<br />
<br />
Month Three<br />
<br />
You know what Mommy<br />
I'm a boy!!<br />
I hope that makes you happy.<br />
I always want you to be happy.<br />
I don't like it when you cry.<br />
You sound so sad.<br />
It makes me sad too<br />
and I cry with you even though<br />
you can't hear me.<br />
<br />
Month Four<br />
<br />
Mommy<br />
my hair is starting to grow.<br />
It is very short and fine<br />
but I will have a lot of it.<br />
I spend a lot of my time exercising.<br />
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes<br />
and stretch my arms and legs.<br />
I am becoming quite good at it too.<br />
<br />
Month Five<br />
<br />
You went to the doctor today.<br />
Mommy, he lied to you.<br />
He said that I'm not a baby.<br />
I am a baby Mommy, your baby.<br />
I think and feel.<br />
Mommy, what's abortion?<br />
<br />
Month Six<br />
<br />
I can hear that doctor again.<br />
I don't like him.<br />
He seems cold and heartless.<br />
Something is intruding my home.<br />
The doctor called it a needle.<br />
Mommy what is it? It burns!<br />
Please make him stop!<br />
I can't get away from it!<br />
Mommy! HELP me!<br />
<br />
Month Seven<br />
<br />
Mommy<br />
I am okay.<br />
I am in Jesus's arms.<br />
He is holding me.<br />
He told me about abortion.<br />
Why didn't you want me Mommy?<br />
<br />
Every Abortion Is Just . . .<br />
<br />
One more heart that was stopped.<br />
Two more eyes that will never see.<br />
Two more hands that will never touch.<br />
Two more legs that will never run.<br />
One more mouth that will never speak.<br />
<br />
If you're against abortion, re-post this<br />
<br />
[Note: I am extremly against Abortion. just thought I'd clear that out of the way.]<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Once a man was walking along a beach. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Off in the distance he could see a person going back and forth between the surf's edge and and the beach. Back and forth this person went. As the man approached he could see that there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural action of the tide. The man was struck by the the apparent futility of the task. There were far too many starfish. Many of them were sure to perish. As he approached the person continued the task of picking up starfish one by one and throwing them into the surf. As he came up to the person he said, "You must be crazy. There are thousands of miles of beach covered with starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The person looked at the man. He then stooped down and pick up one more starfish and threw it back into the ocean. He turned back to the man and said, "It sure made a difference for that one!"<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Revelation 3 (New King James Version)<br />
<br />
 15 ÂI know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,[g] I will vomit you out of My mouth. <br />
<br />
I know I'm not in a good mood after reading something that someone wrote recently in their comments about a stamp they made, but still, I'm challenging all of you to think. Are you on Christ's side or not? If you don't chose then automatically you are against Him. Apathy isn't an option. So tell me (or don't you don't actually have to...) who's side are you on? Are you a Christian or not?<br />
<br />
If you aren't... Then come talk to me! I won't bite your head off and I'll certianly help you become a Christian if you want to be one!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<a href="http://obi-quiet.deviantart.com/journal/14240474/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Isaiah 30:18-26 (New King James Version)<br />
New King James Version (NKJV)<br />
<br />
God Will Be Gracious<br />
18 Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; <br />
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. <br />
For the LORD is a God of justice; <br />
Blessed are all those who wait for Him. <br />
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; <br />
You shall weep no more. <br />
He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; <br />
When He hears it, He will answer you. <br />
20 And though the Lord gives you <br />
The bread of adversity and the water of affliction, <br />
Yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, <br />
But your eyes shall see your teachers. <br />
21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, <br />
<br />
Â This is the way, walk in it,Â <br />
Whenever you turn to the right hand <br />
Or whenever you turn to the left. <br />
22 You will also defile the covering of your images of silver, <br />
And the ornament of your molded images of gold. <br />
You will throw them away as an unclean thing; <br />
You will say to them, ÂGet away!Â <br />
23 Then He will give the rain for your seed <br />
With which you sow the ground, <br />
And bread of the increase of the earth; <br />
It will be fat and plentiful. <br />
In that day your cattle will feed <br />
In large pastures. <br />
24 Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground <br />
Will eat cured fodder, <br />
Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan. <br />
25 There will be on every high mountain <br />
And on every high hill <br />
Rivers and streams of waters, <br />
In the day of the great slaughter, <br />
When the towers fall. <br />
26 Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, <br />
And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, <br />
As the light of seven days, <br />
In the day that the LORD binds up the bruise of His people <br />
And heals the stroke of their wound.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Set Me Free<br />
by: Casting Crowns<br />
<br />
It hasn't always been this way <br />
I remember brighter days <br />
Before the dark ones came <br />
Stole my mind <br />
Wrapped my soul in chains <br />
<br />
Now I live among the dead <br />
Fighting voices in my head <br />
Hoping someone hears me crying in the night <br />
And carries me away <br />
<br />
CHORUS <br />
Set me free of the chains holding me <br />
Is anybody out there hearing me? <br />
Set me free <br />
<br />
Morning breaks another day <br />
Finds me crying in the rain <br />
All alone with my demons I am <br />
Who is this man that comes my way? <br />
The dark ones shriek <br />
They scream His name <br />
Is this the One they say will set the captive free? <br />
Jesus, rescue me <br />
<br />
CHORUS <br />
<br />
As the God man passes by<br />
He looks straight through my lies<br />
And darkness cannot hide<br />
<br />
Do you want to be free? <br />
Lift your chains <br />
I hold the key <br />
All power on Heav'n and Earth belong to Me <br />
(repeat) <br />
<br />
You are free <br />
You are free <br />
You are free<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ten Thousand Angels Cried <br />
By: Leann Rimes <br />
Listen to it here:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLsLWf6NBM4">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Stillness filled the Heavens, on crucifixion day. <br />
Some say it rained, I don't know if it's true. <br />
Well, I can just imagine ten thousand angels cried<br />
That would seem like rain to me and you. <br />
<br />
The angels all stood ready to take Him from the tree <br />
They waited for the words from His voice. <br />
And when he asked the father why has thou forsaken me. <br />
They watched the savior die of his own choice. <br />
<br />
I've never seen ten thousand angels cry <br />
But I'm sure they did <br />
As they stood by <br />
And watched the savior die. <br />
<br />
God turned his head away <br />
He couldn't bear the sight <br />
It must have looked like rain <br />
When ten thousand angels cried. <br />
<br />
As the sun slipped away <br />
The skies turned to grey <br />
And when Jesus gave his all <br />
That's when the tears began to fall <br />
<br />
I've never seen ten thousand angels cry <br />
But I'm sure they did <br />
As they stood by <br />
And watched the savior die. <br />
<br />
God turned his head away <br />
He couldn't bear the sight <br />
It must have looked like rain <br />
When ten thousand angels cried. <br />
<br />
It must have looked like rain <br />
When ten thousand angels cried.<br />
<br />

Ok you see during camp the lady who was teaching the creative ministries class (Valerie) told us that next year if she was teaching the class she was going to have all of us sign this song. I really hope that she does! I really enjoyed her as a teacher and loved what we did this year. You see we did a dramatization of the song Set Me Free by Casting Crowns and me and another girl were the 'affected ones'... I'm not sure how to describe what it looked like because we never got a copy of our presentation... X( any way... Next week I'll give you the lyrics to Set me Free.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
