Oceans

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

     I love this song and the story that it depicts.

 Being led out into the storms of this life and looking to God for direction and protection in every step.

 Taking steps into the unknown, not knowing what to expect, but relying fully on God.

The song cries out in my head, turning my thoughts to nothing but how faithful God is.

God will place us in situations in our lives, with sole purposes of having us grow in our faith and trust. 

God wants us to turn to Him, not anything else. When we are struggling, we shouldn't shrug it off and distract our minds with sports, electronics, or anything else. God wants us to stop what we're doing and turn ourselves and our situation over to Him.

If you have a situation that you're struggling with, don't try to deal with it by yourself or not acknowledge it all, trust God with it!

Wow! I am so behind on posts! But I think this will be the last of my catching up posts. These pictures were taken a few weeks ago and it still looks about the same outside, the snow somewhat melted but still there.

The Last of the Christmas Baking!

      So I finally got around to posting this! I know, Christmas was almost a month ago! This semester I seem to have all of my hared classes, and I just started drivers ed yesterday, so that is taking up lot's of my time! But at last here are the rest of the pictures!









     Just saying, there were about twenty other types of desserts, but I was not around for all of the baking processes, so therefore I didn't get to take pictures of them during the baking or cooling. Maybe next year that will be my goal...

The Land of Chocolate Kisses!

     Soo, back to all that Christmas baking I was talking about! :) I was fascinated with taking pictures of all the Hershey kisses that I unwrapped! I was basically the designated unwrapped of candy, enjoy the pics!









     Also how are you guys liking this weather (if you're affected by it that is!)  I over here have had two more days added to my break! Though now we'll have to have school past Memorial Day, darn.:(

1.2.14

And it's 2014...

A year has passed, a new one has come! It's also this blogs 2nd blogoversary! Yay! Now let's recall all of the stats...

283 posts,

36 followers,

And about 10,530 pageviews!

Thank you to all of the people out there that come by every once in a while and check out this blog!

On to other things.. it keeps snowing!!!
 I'm pretty happy about snow..
except for the fact that I should be running to prepare for track which starts in a month!
 These pictures don't show all the snow that came down all day yesterday, but believe me, running outside when it's 10 degrees or less, with snow on the ground, and maybe some ice, yeah, I don't think I'll be running for a while!

Another thing, it's already January and I still have a lot of Christmas pictures to post!! Noo!! And only three more days of break :'(

And lastly...I watched Catching Fire the other day (I hadn't read any of the books or seen the movies before this) and let's just say the three books are on hold at the library right now! :P

More posts coming soon!
