Revelation Song

Summer Camp, June '09, Indiana Wesleyan University

Worthy is the,
Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to Him who sits on
Heaven's Mercy Seat

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and
Glory and power be
To You the Only Wise King

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You!

Filled with wonder,
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You

Hannah's Birthday and My Philosophy on Death.

Today marks the birthday of sweet Hannah. She would be eight today, that beautiful Monkey Queen.

Situations like these cause people to think, and to question authorities they may not even question very often. Even Christians, who really do have so much faith in God, can't help but wonder why God takes away such innocent people, especially children.

I think about it, too. It's a big thing. After awhile, I've gained my own perspective on death.

We're all sinners. And God is perfect. Furthermore, God made us. And we belong to him. Therefore, isn't it only fair that he takes people back sometimes?

It's not even close to what sin deserves. The pain, the shock and the missing is really only a taste of what it could be. You might say, isn't it like He's teasing us in a way, by letting us have our loved ones for a time, and then randomly taking them away? Well, we have to remember all the time that we ever get with our loved ones are gifts. We can't take anything or anyone for granted. I am always reminding myself of this. God has the right to take anyone away at anytime. Like I said, it's only fair...not even fair, on His behalf. We can't expect God to let us have everyone share our lives on earth, and when we do, it's a huge and merciful gift.

So that's my philosophy. There's been so much controversy over this subject, and even though I feel like I've pretty much figured it out, I also know that no matter what, He's got it all under control and that's all I need to know.

Because I'm great at updating my blog.

Tyler Creek, August 2009

So. My blog. I wish I could say that I've been busy but umm...that's not so true. Sure I've done stuff but nothing that would keep me from updating...so I guess, I've just been putting it off. Not like it matters terribly, anyway, but...

I'm rambling. Here's what I know you all want instead...pictures!

You got something in your eye. (Peace Out would work well, too.)

Wattup?

And my personal favorite...the one on the top is definitely a PRAISE JESUS!!!

And praise Him we should because Anna and Jeremy are officially moving back here and in fact living with us until they get their own place..oh happy day :D

We (Me, Ade, Kattie, Kay) found this skateboard in the creek.


And some nature photos...


Trying to decide which action I like better. Both are a little too exposed but that's due to my cheap editing software and point-and-shoot camera (for where art thou, SLR and Photoshop...)


Kattie peeks over the bridge : )

We're crazily awesome : )

Dunes Trip with Youth Group. July 28th.





So, that's all for now. Three of my girls are over and they themselves got bored of messing around on Bro's computer, so I'm off to eat some more cheetos and maybe divulge some more secrets? I think so.

Latest Things...

Sarah Jane Illustrations on Etsy. Unbelievably cute. How gorgeous are these cards...I want to pick them up so badly.

Ohh. Sweet Dreams is right around the corner from my Nana's house, and seeing as it's over a half hour away otherwise we always stop and get a box of Yum of cupcakes filled with amazing, cold, buttery icing. If you're ever near Dekalb IL I strongly advise the Red Velvet especially, though the Vanilla is divine as well. I'm definitely a sucker for excellent cupcakes : )


Belle and Boo, another Etsian. Brace yourself. Not only the beautiful story behind 6 of her illustrations. You can get lost in these drawings. Cheap, they're not...though the 8 pack party invites of Ava's Tea Party is only eight dollars. That'll come after one or two solid babysitting jobs..anyone?


Damask. Or, more specifically, White Aisle.

So light and soft. I love Isa Ferreira, and she's not bad price-wise. Hmm. More b-sitting jobs for that one.


So A&J are in town...Lulu as well : ) Off to play Mario Kart, or eat the remainer of said cupcakes, or take said dog on a walk.

This is one of my very good friends! He is amazing. I love him so much and I'm very very proud of him. His hair is too long in this, though :P

So! Last week was Summer Camp and all I can say is wow, what an encouraging week. I could feel myself growing so much spiritually throughout the days. Sadly I managed to forget the thing I would least expect...MY CAMERA! ARGH! How could I?!?! I had my BlackBerry, which for a cell phone, is good...so I wasn't completely without a camera.

Sitting on the bus - it was pretty crammed.

Yes I realize I look pretty frightening...they had these theme nights and this one was Holiday Night.


Look at Liz and Alex! Liz's hair is normally springy and curly and Alex's is usually wavy and unstyled...check out how much older they look.


A blurry picture of my dorm.


A few photos I took around the pretty campus:






Again, awesome week. Easily the best of my life thus far. Can't wait til next year!!! Only 356 days to go! ;P

Long Time Coming

Whew! It's been MUCH too long...well, as you have most likely noticed, I changed my blog. I've been obsessed with Damask print lately and of course pink is always the right way to go... ;P Anyway, I've also taken up a new broadway obsession, The Little Mermaid (don't laugh!) ,. It's how I roll, I get a new obsession every few months.

The above photos were taken the other day when Adrianna and I found a toad in the window well which is the norm these summer days...speaking of summer, it's SUMMER! Enough said...I was so seriously DONE with school that I was beyond relieved when at last what I had done became enough...and also speaking of summer, tomorrow I'm leaving for Indiana to go to my youth group's Summer Camp. (GO BLUE TEAM!) I can't put into words how much I love my youth group so yes I'm pretty psyched!

(That paragraph sure had the word "summer" in it and look I just said summer again. Seems I can't get enough of the word...summer...)

:)
