Good Grief, Blogger Brown!

WAH??? She forgot to blog? Yes I did. I've been working Dialysis at the hospital lately. Such things keep one quite busy! I haven't had time for anything, not even a social life. LOL. Well, hopefully I get the day off today. God has been teaching me all kinds of awesome things. Like patience and humility. Did you know that most people (like me) who tend to have a bad temper, need to work on their humility?? God showed me that. I kind of didn't think of them as synonymous. BUT they are! And God has really just been teaching me to look out for others, not me. What a great God we serve, eh?? If I could express is typing, it would be something like this: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God really is! Mmmmhmmmm.

Prayer for Today:
Jesus, please help me to flip myself upside down for you, give me passion for the world around me and to shine your light to it. Please give me your compassion and love for those around me. You are amazing beyond description, thank you for being my best friend even when I feel like giving up. You hold my hand when I can't even hold myself up! Thank you for your mercy! I love you forever. Amen.

Lyrics for today:

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black tile
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
Are those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide whats underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
To ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work
He's buying time
Are those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?

I've Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all alone

Dashboard

Hoh my wow...I thought someone was breaking in this morning! It was scary. My parents are gone for their anniversary and my brothers were out for Josh's swim team which happens every morning. But they kept pouding on the door. So I decided to ignore it. I have to go get guitar strings today. Actually within the next hour so I can record and finalize at least two tracks for my album. So off, to work! Have a a great day! Oh I titled today's "Dashboard" because that was the first word I saw when I came to blog =)

My Prayer for Today:
Dear Jesus, as I go throuh this day, help me to focus on doing what I have to do and do it well for your glory. You are amazing beyond anything or anyone could ever describe. Thank you for being my best friend and for reeling me back in when I have swam so far away from you! Thank you Lord. Amen.

Lyrics for Today:
Hey little sister
Why do you cry?
Holding your head so low,
May I ask you why?

Don't you know that He loves you?
Don't you know that He cares?
He will never leave you, no,
And never leave you there.

'Cause you are perfect
You are perfectly,
Perfectly done.

And hey little brother,
I know life has been rough.
But I believe in you,
'Cause in God you are tough.

You must stand tall,
And leave it all.
Never let this whole world,
Take away your soul.

'Cause you are perfect,
You are perfectly,
Perfectly done.

You are perfect,
Yes, you are perfectly done.

"Perfectly Done"- Shawn McDonald
