cause I'm on the brink of something beautiful

so...i have been on a mae kick this week...( sara please dont stop reading since i know how much you loooooove them ;) HAHA). but anyways really all i have listened too this week is mae. it is like i have rediscovered them or something. but good news they are coming to the nova @ the end of may i am so there! but i wanna talk about how a song can take on new meaning. mae reminds me of college...where i was first introduced to them. it was awesome. i have seen them a couple of times with friends from college so they are just wraped up in college memories. one of my memories of the song " the sun and moon" (off the everglow CD.) was at my friends Kristin and Micah's wedding! it was one of the songs in their wedding. how classy are my friends to have mae song in their wedding :) but if you knew them they wouldn't have it any other way. At the same time that the wedding was happening, i was having a great struggle in my life so this song "the sun and the moon", i just put that song with a bad memory,i couldn't listen to it at all.it was one of those sad songs that i could never listen to all i thought was pain when i heard this song.until about the end of last summer when it came on when i was driving home from work and it came on and i didnt even realize that the song was on, and i was just singing away. well since i have been listening to pretty much all mae all the time these past few days...this song...has a new life and a new meaning for me. i listened the lyrics a little more closer. it has such powerful lyrics...

i guess when you are happy and in the right frame of mind....an old song can take on new meaning.

the sun and the moon - by mae.

Wasted time. I cannot say that I was ready for this. But when worlds collide, and all that I have is all that I want. The words seem to flow and the thoughts they keep running. And all that I have is yours. All that I am is yours. Ohh... Painted skies. I've seen so many that cannot compare to your ocean eyes. The pictures you took that cover your room, and it was just like the sun but more like the moon. A light that can reach it all. So now I'm branded for taking the fall. Ohh... So when you say forever, can't you see you've already captured me.

what's love got to do with it?

3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13 : 3-8

it is always good to be reminded just what love is....

trust-in HIS timing

rely-on HIS promises

wait-for HIS answers

believe-in HIS miracles

rejoice-in HIS goodness

relax- in HIS presence

Come near to God and He will come near to you.

James 4: 8

ok its alright with me.

so my favorite song right now. i love me some eric hutchinson!

i still believe in your faithfulness...

i was driving in my jeep the other day and this song
came on the radio. i stopped for a second and thought "man i have not heard this song in a long time...". but it came to me just at the right time in life as a reminder to myself, that even though the world seems like it is ending or im just in this really dark place. that i still believe, in God. that he has my life in his hands. i am thankful for his grace, and his mercy that he gives me everyday.and that i need to learn to listen a little more clearly to his will than having my own plans and try to do what i want to do.be a better example to those that are around me of what i stand for and who i stand for. i am challenging myself to do some changing a needed change in my life...to be a better woman of Christ.

the video above i found on youtube. it isn't the jeremy camp video...but still has an awesome message. listen to the words and watch the video carefully and hope that this song blesses you today.
