    He Will Carry Me

    He is All the Strength I Will Ever Need

    "I call, You hear me
    I’ve lost it all
    And it’s more than I can bear
    I feel so empty

    You’re strong
    I’m weary
    I’m holdin’ on
    But I feel like givin’ in
    But still You’re with me

    And even though I’m walkin’ through
    The valley of the shadow
    I will hold tight to the hand of Him
    Whose love will comfort me
    And when all hope is gone
    And I’ve been wounded in the battle
    He is all the strength that I will
    Ever need...
    He will carry me

    I know I’m broken
    But You alone
    Can mend this heart of mine
    You’re always with me

    And even though I feel so lonely
    Like I’ve never been before
    You never said it would be easy
    But You said You’d see me through
    The storm...

    And even though I’m walkin’ through
    The valley of the shadow
    I will hold tight to the hand of Him
    Whose love will comfort me
    And when all hope is gone
    And I’ve been wounded in the battle
    He is all the strength that I will
    Ever need..."

    God laid this song upon my heart this afternoon, and I felt the need to write down some thoughts about it, so I will. 

    Whenever I call out to God in need of Him, He hears me. Whenever I fall to the ground, He picks me up. Whenever I get tired of fighting against this world, He's my source of strength. I may feel like giving up, but He reassures me that He is always here for me. Always. I come to Him with a broken spirit, and He alone is the One Who restores my soul. He never promised me that life and its trials would be easy, but He did promise me that He would never leave my side. And even though I may be walking through the valley of the shadow, I will cling to the presence of He Who comforts me. Whenever I feel like all hope is lost and everyone around me has hurt me, He is the Strong Tower that I will run to.

    "He will carry me"

    Beyond the Music, Beyond the Noise

    This song has always been one of my favorites. Today on the way home from work, God played this song for me right after I cried out to Him asking for guidance and direction. As the song played, each and every word stood out to me, like it had been written exactly for me in the midst of my need.

    It rings so true; often I run to God and want our entire conversation to be about ME... but He's been showing me lately that sometimes the last thing I need is to be heard, and that's okay.

    "I'm finding myself... at a loss for words
    And the funny thing is, it's okay
    The last thing I need is to be heard
    But to hear what You would say

    Word of God speak
    Would You pour down like rain
    Washing my eyes to see
    Your majesty
    To be still and know
    That You're in this place
    Please let me stay and rest
    In Your holiness
    Word of God speak

    I'm finding myself in the midst of You
    Beyond the music, beyond the noise
    All that I need is to be with You
    And in the quiet hear Your voice."

    I was on such an incredible high from God during the two weeks I was in D.C., and then I returned to my job this morning and some things happened there that brought me down off that high. My deepest desire is to find that again, and do whatever it takes to get back to that place with Him. I want to get back to that place; beyond the music... beyond the noise.

    If you think of it, please pray for me, that I would hear from Him clearly concerning my future with my current job, and photography, etc. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

    "I'm finding myself... at a loss for words
    And the funny thing is, it's okay."

  • I'm back to Xanga for now... who knows if I'll ever actually write again after this, hopefully I will, but we'll see. It's horrible to say, but I haven't even logged in since I last wrote!! Now the popular sites to be using are MySpace and Facebook, especially the latter. I just can't bring myself to blog on those sites though, I just use them to comment others.

    I recently started working again; I was hired by Isaac's Restaurant and Deli. So far I'm really enjoying it there; it's just a LOT of quick learning... retaining the information learned is the hardest part LOL. 

     Ok, I wish I had time to post some of the photos I've taken recently; I've taken some pretty good ones (at least I think so... haha)... but I don't have the time, so maybe sometime in the future. I can't promise when... seeing as how I didn't log in for months on end :P Have an amazing day and God Bless!!

  • Hello everyone! I must admit that I really don't use this blog anymore... I simply keep it in order to keep in touch with old friends. A lot is going on in my life right now, and it all happened very slowly, yet so quickly at the same time. My family is still trying to move, and it's been a very slow process. It gets to one's nerves and wears away at you after so long, so please pray for us. We've lost a number of houses that we were really interested in, and it's really a trying experience.  So yeah, please just pray for a little extra dose of grace from God... I think it's what we all need right now. Thanks so much, and I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed day!

About Me

  • I am a homeschool graduate, I am also a PAC Volleyball alumni, and I'm really excited to see where God is going to lead me in the months to come. My biggest desire right now is to seek God's will for my life; I often try to tell God MY will for MY life... but I'm learning to surrender. Photography is one of my biggest passions, and I'm planning on pursuing it further throughout the summer and into fall. I'd love it if I could go pro one day. I have amazing friends and I wouldn't trade any of you for the world.
