My Dad told me i can not get married until my golden birthday, which is the 29th :P

Everyone was confused, then she said "I can get married when i am 13! Yipee!"

Tehehe! i love her...ah..

I have a bad headache so i am getting off the computer!

But i will do a song! hmmm...

I Could not think of anything so i just went to my Last.fm and did the last song i listened to!

When i go down By Relient K

I'll tell you flat out
It hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods

I've thrown away
So many things that could've been much more
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works

When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them

If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where
Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found

I've thrown away
The hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
So many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away
The secret to find an end to this
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works

Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me
Reprimands me
Then and there
I confess
I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet you love me
And that consumes me
And I'll stand up again
And do so willingly

You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice
And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
Because I love you
Oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living
If only because of you
And when they say that I'm dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth

When I go down
I lift my eyes to you
I won't look very far
Cause you'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
To lift me up again

Well Good Night!

In Christ's Name

Identity By Lecrae

Hair check, shoes check,
brand new fit looking cool check,
looking in mirror like "ooooh yes!"
cover for an insecure dude check, She wont' feel me and they wont like me if I ain't in them J's or them brand new Nikes,lets dig deeper inside my pysche
when it's all said and done even I don't like me
He live in the gym and his hair stay faded
late model car so they think he made it
he's Christian he gave his life
but he still ain't satisfied in the savior Christ
still finds his identity in looks and cars
if he only knew that he ain't have to look so hard
If looked in God it may seem odd he be so satisfied he could leave it all.

[ Chorus ]
I'm not the shoes I wear, I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm am not the house I live in, I'm not the car I drive
I'm not the job I work, You can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth, my identity is found in Christ.

[ D.A. T.R.U.T.H. ]
How do I gauge success,Why do I say I'm blessed,
Huh,Is it the car that I drive or the place that I rest or the way that I dress,
now Is the cause of my pride,
the stage and the set or my face in the press,
now Cause the applause it dies
When the praise is less if my face is depressed,
then/It's cause my value and worth is in the volume of the work I produce in the booth
It's a prize and a curse if defined by the perks when the truth is through
Man I'm goin' feel like I don't want to live no more, no more, no more
Cause they don't like me like they did in 04,04,04
So, I swallow my pride empowered by God,
I'm complete in Him
He's got peace God's priest I'm in In
His presence weak-His strength
Meet His kin We His brethren Read this list
Me forgiven
He's dismissed guilt and my sin and
I find my worth cause I'm Jesus' friend

[ Chorus ]
I'm not the shoes I wear, I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm am not the house I live in, I'm not the car I drive
I'm not the job I work, You can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth, my identity is found in Christ.

[ LeCrae ]
Got her hair done, toes and nails
is that Her? well it's hard to tell
cause she's so caked up in so much make up
It's like she's tryna make up for what she ain't
but she's a saint but so confused
cause she's been rejected by all these dudes
they tell her on a scale of 10 she's a two
but that ain't true if she only knew
In Christ she is loved she secure and accepted
never be rejected by God who's elected her
Her beauty is her Godliness
And she ain't gotta flaunt it cause it's obvious
[ Identity is found in the God we trust
Any other identity will self destruct.x2 ]

[ Chorus ]
I'm not the shoes I wear, I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm am not the house I live in, I'm not the car I drive
I'm not the job I work, You can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth, my identity is found in Christ.

Good Night

~MSB~

Heyy!

Tuesday!

I love Tuesdays!

and this one is very good so far!

Ha ha ha...Drinking Coffee at Caribou,

listening to Taylor Swift,

Now all i need is someone to join me! :P

Anyone?

I will buy you coffee! haha...

(I will!!)

My life is getting busier and i do not like it! Its going way to fast...some parts are leaving me behind! Its scaring me! :/

BUT no matter where my life takes me i know that GOD has a plan! Even if that means i leave somewhere where it there is ALWAYS snow on the ground....

I could(With Gods AmAzInG grace!) be in a place where i know no one...I could in Christ face what i think is impossible!

Because "What is IMPOSSIBLE with man is POSSIBLE with God!"

I Believe God puts you through things HARD and painful to show you how POWERFUL and WONDERFUL he is! (and for his glory of course!)

Trip Lee! Yess O_o ohh and Lecrae too

Who He Is

I know His Grace is amazing, face it ain't another like our God
From the foundation's placements, nations , they've been placed underneath his rod
Oh my God, you're the one worth the praise so bump the peso, cause you say so
I keep your ways in front of me until my days go
so they can have the women they can keep that queso
that's why we don't roll with the drama
Don't get drunk, don't roll marijauna
Not because hell's hot like the coals in a sauna
But we love God and we go where He wanna
Himself, the best gift he could ever give
Who can take a set of kids trippin off of sedatives
Give them the grace that pays their eternal deficit
Now we enjoy God and all of His preeminence

Because of who He is
If I'm worth dying for, yes this God's worth living for
Because of who He is He makes me want to give Him more and more
Because of who He is
So I take my body and use it for the glory of God
That's why I pray every day, gotta pick up my cross
Search for the lost, no matter the cost

Trip Lee:
Okay, He reigns over all, its plain since the fall, our brains don't recall who He is
His name's over all, His aim is for all, to remain in awe as they see His
Beauty man it's truly crazy, dude He's grand His truth is great we
Dudes should stand and truly praise the beautiful lamb they bruised Him greatly
His life was the cost, He died on the cross, He died for the lost, we know that
So we ride for the boss, He's high we exalt, this Christ in our thoughts, can't hold back
Exalt Him in our actions too, we crack them Johnny Macs and cruise
The facts, we grab His active truth, we happy when our Dad's in view

Lecrae:

Tell me, who you know can control the globe
Walk in his holy home, walk down a lowly road,
Roll where the stones get thrown at ya dome
Cause you made it known you're the son of God on the throne
He deserve mo, this is why we flow
Not that we could ever pay him back what we owe
But if we don't flow then we might as well go
and let the whole world know he is God all alone

Trip Lee:
He's gracious, great, He's way too good, cant believe He made us kids
No righteousness in the place we stood, so He died and He gave us His
You might wonder why we live that bro, we ain't just tryna live by some principles
We love Him can't get enough of him, so that's the God we living fo

let's just he's just WAY TOO GOOD
thinking of myself and family he's just WAY TOO GOOD
now i understand my place
laying in grace,
so glad that he took my case
i use my freedom in Christ to become enslaved
till the day that i see his face

Yeah so i hope you all have a wonderful night!

In Christ

Psalms 86:5-13

" You, Lord, are forgiving and good,

abounding in love to all who call to you.

Hear my prayer, LORD;

listen to my cry for mercy.

When I am in distress, I call to you,

because you answer me.

Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;

no deeds can compare with yours.

All the nations you have made

will come and worship before you, Lord;

they will bring glory to your name.

For you are great and do marvelous deeds;

you alone are God.

Teach me your way, LORD,

that I may rely on your faithfulness;

give me an undivided heart,

that I may fear your name.

I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;

I will glorify your name forever.

For great is your love toward me;

you have delivered me from the depths,

from the realm of the dead."

Music!

Knowing you!

All I once held dear, built my life upon

All this world reveres, and wars to own

All I once thought gain I have counted loss

Spent and worthless now, compared to this

Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,

There is no greater thing

You're my all, you're my rest

You're my joy, my righteousness

And I love you, Lord

Now my heart's desire is to know you more

To be found in you and known as yoursT

o possess by faith what I could not earn

All-surpassing gift of righteousness

Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,

There is no greater thing

You're my all, you're my rest

You're my joy, my righteousness

And I love you, Lord

Oh, to know the power of your risen life

And to know You in Your sufferings

To become like you in your death, my Lord

So with you to live and never die

Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,

There is no greater thing

You're my all, you're my rest

You're my joy, my righteousness

And I love you, Lord
