Whatever You're Doing...

It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
All I can do is surrender

(Chorus)
Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Revaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow your will
or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is you want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...

(Chorus)

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to to release all my held back tears

Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly

Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Something heavenly

It's time to face up
Clean this old house
Time breathe in and let everything out

This song sums up a lot of my life right now. Christ is moving my heart in more ways that I can even begin to comprehend. His will for my life has been made so evident to me, it's almost scary. I have a lot of huge decisions to make over the next couple of months. Please pray for me. And before you ask, no, I am not moving to the D.R.

Life is good and the Lord is so so so great.

Countdown:
Last day of semester: 4 days
Vacation to Leon, Guanajuato: 5 days
NORTH AFRICA: 45 days.

Happy Graduation!

This past Saturday I attended the school of Nursing graduation at UT. I went to cheer on my friend, Heather! If there is one person that was ready to be done with college it's Heather. This girl has worked hard. Really really hard in school. She's been through so much, and at the end of the day continues to seek and follow the Lord's will in her life. Heather lost her dad earlier this semester in an accident, and she's proven to be so strong through everything that life has thrown her way. Walking through that tragic experience with Heather, and praying for her has brought so much hope in my life. She amazes me, and I'm so thankful to call this girl my friend. She's one of those people who brings much joy into my life. Her love for the Lord is absolutely contagious, and her love for her family and friends is so wonderful to see and feel. On Sunday she moves to Dallas, TX. I will miss this girl in more ways than I can explain, but I know the Lord will be faithful to her in this next season of her life. She's one of those friends that don't come along that often. I've been blessed and will cherish her friendship forever.

Happy Graduation, Heather! I love you!

December...

I love NEW YORK CITY!!!!!!!!


In other news I've been listening to this song on repeat all morning at my desk:

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart(X's2)

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me
(Yes Lord, Thank You Lord)

Behold Him there! The risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of grace
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased with His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God

One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased with His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God

I really really like this song a lot! We sang it last night at church. I love my church. I love the truth spoken week in and out. I missed last Sunday since were in NYC, and it's crazy how much I miss the Stone when I'm away.

NYC was great. It was really really cold, but other than that it was really great to hang out and be away. I love NYC. We went to see a show, did a ton of shopping, ate some really good food, and I got to spend time with girls who mean a lot to me. Ya!

My birthday is NINE DAYS AWAY. I can't believe I'm about to be 25. I'm having a birthday bash on Friday at my house. If you are in town come by!

Work is work. I'm so glad it's December. Three weeks of work and then I'm off for two whole weeks!

I almost can't believe it's December 1st. This year has flown by so fast. So many changes have occurred in my life over the past year. Some that were harder than others, but at the end of the day I say that the Lord has been good to me through and through.

Here are some pics from my mini-vacay to NYC:


Remember that time we met "Jenny Humphries" from GOSSIP GIRL?!?!


Tanya and I on the plane! We're almost there!!! I love this woman.


Us in front of Serendipity. Best MINT frozen hot chocolate ever!

I sure do love that roommate of mine. We've just finished some great NYC pizza!

Two of the greatest ladies I've ever met. This is us freezing in Times Square waiting for Broadway tickets!!! We saw Phantom of the Opera.
