what i do when im bbsitting.. :)

Had two hours to kill after I put the kids to bed so i just started writing and this is what happened..


God I want you to be my rock that holds fast
Through the storms of this world, I want Jesus my main mast
So that nothing can shake me, not the world or it's pleasures
I only want your eternal treasures

But this world entices, tugs my heart like a riptide
The more I try, I fail, I need you on my side
Dark lies surround me, and pull me down their wide path
But truly I kno their promises dont last

Idk what to to, Idk where to start
I kno I need you, but "No!" says my heart
It's a battle oh Lord, and I'm going to lose
if you dont come to rescue me from this city of fools

See there a black spot on my heart that's started to grow,
With each compromise to sin it's starting to show.
I try and scrub it off with works, but it only get's bigger
I whisper, "go away" but the temptations still linger

With every step I take to you, I fall three back
I kno it's a relationship with Jesus I lack
I want my way so much I'm willing to lose, closeness to God,
the world I choose.

I try on my OWN to do things 'right'
but reallly if it's not my way, I continue to fight.
How am I so foolish, to throw it all away?
Under your loving mercy I don't deserve to stay.

Yet your grace still pours in, like a never-ending flood
It washes my heart, and cleanses the black mud.
Though I'v sinned and fall short of your glory,
you still love me, you've written my life story.

For sinners, I'll never forget what you've done.
You died a perfect death, and gave your only son.
So trusting in you I can peacefully rest,
knowing your plan for my life is always what's best.

Though life will get hard, and trials will pass,
I know your love for me will always last.
So I turn my eyes to you, and let all else fade.
You, my God have saved me by your mercy and grace.

BG YOUTH CAMP!!!! WOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!! :D

So our church is going on a youth camping trip this coming week and I'm really really excited. :D We get to stay up late, play sports n games n such, listen to messages by the campfire, and lots more. it'll be a blast. anyway everybody has a job to get ready for it, and mine was to design tee shirts. :D which i was absolutely SIKED for cuz i LOVE designing stuff. but i didnt want to do it by myself cuz its a big job so i got Phil G. to help me and we just finished the design and r ordering the shirts tomorrow. Im so excited about it, I felt the need to blog it. :) btw our theme is trusting in God.

last art lesson.

Tomorrow is my last art lesson, cuz were taking a break for the summer. :( So here is what I've been working on the last few weeks. It actually didn't take me that long, but I only had time like once a week to work on i cuz of school and such. Which drew the whole thing out longer than it should have taken. anyway. the assignment was to create a clothes design, draw it out against a backround, and throw some kind of prop in there to make it look something like a magazine page. But (obviously) the person isnt spossed to look real, it's more like a mannequin ish type thing. oh and i used ink, instead of paint, which was extremely fun. :) the silver of the tree and her leggings is metalic so it shimmers. haha it was so much fun. :) also, I still have to add some stuff at the bottom. since im making it like a magazine page, I'm going to add text at the bottom saying 'bece design' or something like that. anyway let me know what you think, i love advice and criticism!

pondering.

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." 1st Corinthians 2:9

What does this mean? Think about all the most wonderful things you have ever experienced, now think about all the wonderful things you've dreamed or wished you could experience, now multiply them by a bazillion. Guess what? That's not what God has for us. Even the most wonderful thing you can think of in your mind, the MOST wonderful thing, that's no where near what God has for us in heaven. You know how we think about how wonderful heaven will be, and we imagine all the splendor and awesomeness of it? Well God says that even all those wonderful thoughts we have about heaven, are no where near the real thing. What God has prepared for us in heaven is so beyond our comprehension, we can't even imagine how wonderful it is. That's pretty amazing isn't it? And the more amazing thing is that we are even going there. Think about the worst experience that has ever happened to you. Now think about the worst possible thing that could happen, what scares you the most. Now multiply that times a bazillion. Even that is allot better than what we deserve, but it's not what were getting. Were getting something so amazing that we can't even understand it. The more I think about it, the more unfair it seems. Someone perfect like Jesus would die for someone as sinful as me? It's not fair. In fact, if God did what was fair, I'd never even have the opportunity to have a relationship with him. But I do, he loved me so much that He was willing to give his only kid, his precious son, give him up to die and suffer for me. And I'm the last person that deserves it. It really makes me think about all the stupid things I complain about, things that I dont think are fair. When you stop and think about what you would be getting if it were 'fair' it really deepens your appreciation and awe of what God did for us. :)


Just felt like sharing...

The skittle story. :)

So I just recently got back from Shadyside park, a place where i love to chill with my third sister, Emma Blake. :) So we get there and run and blade around for a bit, get shocked my electrical fences, name horses names like buttercup and afternoon, rollerblade some more, then leave. But before we leave Kt decides to be the best sister and second-sister ever and buy us a pack of skittles from the vending machine. So she gives us a buck in change and we put in in the machine and click the number and all that jazz. Then it does that thing were the spiraly thing unspins just enough so it leaves the skittle bag hanging, but doesnt drop it.


Remember Emma and I were both hungry and tired, and man did we want those skittles. She stood guard to make sure no one was watching and I slammed into the thing as hard as I could hoping to shake it loose. But it was no use, so we went to plane b. We ran back to the car and scrounged u a few more pennies from kt hoping to re-buy it. But it wasnt till I put about 3 bucks in pennies in the machine that we realized it doesnt take pennies. hence the pile of them that kept coming out of the bottom. But being the smart girls we are, we didnt notice them till they legit started falling out of the machine, leading to another 5 minutes wasted. We headed back to the car to try and find some regular coins, and Emma finally found a couple nickels and dimes in a board game box i really dont know why we had in our car... so we go back and put all THOSE coins in only to have the stupid machine keep telling us to put in more money. By this time we had been at it at least 20 minutes and kt was about to drive away without us and our precious skittles. So we went back to the car and kt sent me back one more time to push the coin return button so she could at least get her money back. I told her is wasnt working, but she made me go anyway so me and Emma ran back and starting pushing it. And all of these silver coins started coming out. It was like heaven. :) Since all that had been coming out before were pennies.



So, being the persistent ppl we are, we loaded the machine back up with all our new found quarters, and lo and behold it worked. :) We started jumping up and screaming and after 25 minutes of banging, screaming, scrounging, and pleading with the skittles, we finally got two bags for the price of one. :) Ill tell you, skittles have never tasted so good. :)
