musings

my new year began with literally a bundle of emotions. i'm gonna be 22 in four months. it scares me a little but i'm excited, because i know that this year is going to be different. one year closer to maturity, one year closer to bigger responsibilities and reaching for my dreams.

i'm going to embrace new beginnings because its time to let some old habits and things go for good. no one can be certain what happens tomorrow and life is short, so time should be spent wisely. there is much to do, but little time. there is no time to get distracted anymore. i will give and i will go if You call me to.



Power of Your Name - Lincoln Brewster, Mia Fields

Surely children weren't made for the streets
And Fathers were not made to leave
Surely this isn't how it should be
Let Your kingdom come

Surely nations were not made for war
Or the broken and due to be ignored
Surely this couldn't be what You saw
Let Your kingdom come
Here in my heart

And I will live to carry your compassion
To love a world that's broken
To be your hands and feet
And I will give with the life that I've been given
And go beyond religion to see the world be changed
By the power of Your Name
The power of Your Name

Surely life wasn't made to regret
And the lost were not made to forget
Surely faith without action is dead
Let Your Kingdom come
Lord break this heart

Jesus Your Name
Is a shelter for the hurting
Your Name
Is a refuge the weak
Only Your Name
Can take the undeserving
Jesus Your Name
Holds everything I need


You see the depth of my heart, my past, my present, my imperfections and my fears, yet You still choose to love me. There is nothing more i can ask for.
