Healing

I reach down to soothe the pain
To comfort the broken heart.
Tears fall from my eyes
As I hear her hurting sobs.

“Why do I hurt?
Why do I cry?
Why is this happening to me?”

Please, God, come down
Rain your healing love all over this broken soul.
May she feel your loving grace
As it washes through her life.

Lord, I see your face;
Reach out my arms again.

Her anger hurts, her anger cuts
Through the deep, abiding pain.
They glare with their fists
Ready at their sides.

“Why do we hurt?
Why do we cry?
Why has this happened to us?”

Please, God, come down
Let your forgiveness cover their aching lives.
May they feel your embrace
As it wipes away their sins.

Lord, I feel your joy;
Reach out my arms again.

I raise my hands in celebration
Their joy reaching down in my heart.
Their eyes are opened
They feel your grace.

“The Lord has come.
He has saved our lives.
My Lord loves us through all time.”

My Call

I have no crowns of thorns; I have no courts of glory.
I have no purple robes; I have no coins of gold.
Yet I am set apart to worship our King.
Yet I am set apart to glorify our King.

I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.

I have my hands and feet, I feel them moving.
I have my human heart, I feel it breaking.
I have my spoken words, I hear them teaching.
Move in me, my King; use my life, my Lord.

I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.

Even in the darkness, let me shine Your light.
Even through trials, You show me the way.
Use me forever, I am Your child.
Mold me and make me into Your will.

I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.

You give me the words, I will use them.
You give me the passion, I will live it.
You give me the pathway, I will follow.
You give me my life, let me use it well.

I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.
I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.

Oh me, oh my!

I would say that it is a safe assumption that I will never be the person who posts her every thought, every single day! I get too busy and wrapped up in everything else going on (not on the computer) to keep up with posting on here constantly.... So what is going on in the real world, you say?

Well, Gabe and I have been doing wedding planning since July and that planning has only kicked into higher gear since he officially proposed in September (September 11th now has good memories for me! :) )... Not only are we planning our wedding, but we also get to plan out moving and immigration headaches too! Oh joy!! :-) No, seriously, it is very exciting and I just look forward to the day I get to walk down the aisle to him!!!!

So... wedding planning... Gabe and I both really like medieval types of things and in order to incorporate that into our wedding, we are going with a a bit of a "stained glass" theme. We both absolutely love the old gothic and renaissance churches and the stained glass windows and I can't wait to play with all the colors the come in with that theme! :-) Burgundy, cobalt and gold, but not in a heavy, dark, overwhelming manner! :-P It is going to be a blast!!!

To give you ideas of what it will be like, here are some links I have been looking at (but no one gets to know what has been decided on.... and if you do know: hush up, yo!!)....
