Ordinary

I have not posted anything in a while because not much has gone on in my life since I last posted. My days are consumed by going to work and coming home to read for school. That is pretty much my life for the rest of July and first part of August. Hopefully something will come up that will give me a break from this boring schedule. Even through this boring schedule I am trying to see the good in it all and how God it moving in my life. You know, so many people think that in order for them to see God in their life then something extraordinary has to happen but in reality God is there working in your life all the time. What we need to do is try to see God working through the ordinary things in life. He is not always going to show up in what people call the extraordinay and if we take the time to see God through the ordinary then the ordinary will become the extraordinaary.

Perfect People

"Perfect People"-Natalie Grant

~

Never let 'em see you when you're breaking

Never let 'em see you when you fall

That's how we live and that's how we try

Tell the world you've got it all together

Never let them see what's underneath

Cover it up with a crooked smile

But it only lasts for a little while

~

There's no such thing as perfect people

There's no such thing as a perfect life

So come as you are, broken and scarred

Lift up your heart and be amazed

And be changed by a perfect God

~

Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted

When you hear the words that you are loved

He knows where you are and where you've been

And you never have to go there again

~

There's no such thing as perfect people

There's no such thing as a perfect life

So come as you are, broken and scarred

Lift up your heart and be amazed

And be changed by a perfect God

~

Who lived and died to give new life

To heal our imperfections

So look up and see out let grace be enough

~

There's no such thing as perfect people

There's no such thing as a perfect life

So come as you are, broken and scarred

Lift up your heart and be amazed

And be changed by a perfect God

~

By a perfect God

Be changed by a perfect God

Be changed

Freedom

Tonight I sang with the Brenham Children's Chorus and the Brenham Sacred Chorus for a 4th of July event. At first I wasn't really looking forward to it because we were going to have to ride on school buses and we were going to be singing outside in the heat. I was thinking of how I was going to make it through it since i'm not even that patriotic to begin with. The 4th of July shouldn't just be about fireworks and singing patriotic songs but we should remember the real reason for our freedom in this world. We have been made free because Jesus died on the cross for us and I don't think enough people take the time to truly reflect on that on the 4th of July. When I thought of the real reason for our freedom it really put me in awe of what the Lord has done for us and it made singing patriotic songs out in the heat a lot more bearable and I actually kind of had a good time.

1st blog

I have always wanted to have a blog but I never knew what to write. I thought that my life wasn't interesting enough for a blog and nobody would want to read it. Then I read a friends blog that really touched my heart and I thought if a blog can touch someone the way it touched me then that's what I want to do. Everybody's life is unique and someone out there just might be touch or inspired by it in some way so be willing to share, even if it's just a small part.
