Sweet, Sweet, Spirit

Friday, October 26th, 2007

I’ll probably be light on posting for awhile yet, but I wanted to share this video.

Some of you may know that my favorite group (ever) is Ernie Haase & Signature Sound – I love those guys! They teamed up with the Gaither Vocal Band earlier this year for a live DVD taping titled Together that was released this week and also featured on TV.

I had the privilege of being at the concert, so I was a little tickled to see that I made the cut on this acappella song, Sweet, Sweet, Spirit. Even if this isn’t your type of music, I think we can all agree that the harmony. is. beautiful.

Thank you to my family for making the day special and sweet – I couldn’t think of three people I’d rather have spent it with!

To my friends everywhere, thank you for your warm wishes, phone calls, and beautiful gifts – I feel so blessed.

Most of all, thank you Lord, for lending me life.

The Beauty Idol

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

From a new-found favorite blog, Hope Road….

Compared to the extreme obsession with beauty rampant in our culture, though, sometimes it’s easy for me to excuse a seemingly innocent obsession with beauty in myself. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to look feminine or even pretty, or enjoying fashion. But we should be far, far more concerned with the adorning of our hearts than with the adorning of our outer appearances. And it is so easy to cross the line into a prideful obsession with looking perfect that can lead to putting other women down, objectifying and stereotyping men, or on the other end of the spectrum, harming ourselves in a variety of ways because we don’t meet our own or society’s standards.

Dreams

Dreams come and go. I paint pictures in my mind. I get lost in moments of a beautiful future. Happy tears. Warm embraces. Waving daisies. Sweet sunshine dances.

But they’re just dreams. Just wishes blown like dandelion seeds into the great wide open.

Who is to know where they will land? Or when. Or how. Or even if they will at all.

My Father knows.

The winds blow and seasons change. So go our dreams and wishes.

They must be held, for we are human, but not too tightly. They must be cradled lightly in hope, not clung to desperately for existence.

If one day my dreams come true, I will thank God with a full heart. And if one day my dreams don’t come true, I will still thank God with a full heart, knowing full well His ways are not my ways.

Sway gently, my dreams. He loves me more.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

-Romans 8:28
