Secret

Come closer! that's it...lean in...I have something to tell you! I've been discovering all sorts of things recently. Good things too! Like this song: http://seasidewindows.tumblr.com/day/2011/12/16 I've been telling everybody about it, but in case it hasn't made it to your ears yet, now you have no excuse :) I apologize for not having a classier way to link it to you or post it here, but I don't know how...so I'm going with the flow of what I know. It's beautiful, wonderful, genuine, and lovely - worship the way it's meant to be...from the heart. I've listened to it on repeat for days.

"How can I climb higher

To the places where You are? 

I want to hear Your whisper
Like the beating of my heart
To see You in Your glory
Like the skies are open wide
To know You in the power

Of Your death and when You rise"

Click on the link, prepare for awesomeness, sit still, and LISTEN. You can thank me later :) Ok, now that you're back, I have something else to share. I've been reading lately. I know, I know, what else is new, but that's just it! It's not what's new, it's what's old. Those old "stuffy" classic books are so cool! I've always loved Jane Austen, but I started reading all those other books you always hear about, yet never read. Like Great Expectations, and Alice in Wonderland. They were alright, but after reading The Secret Garden, I can definitely add Frances Hodgson Burnett to my short list of favorites. In reading her story, I got caught up in the adventure and wonder of it all, and when I least expected it, the God's truth just slammed into me.

  "So long as Colin shut himself up in his room and thought only of his fears and weakness...[he] knew nothing of the sunshine and the spring and also did not know that he could get well and could stand upon his feet if he tried to do it. When new beautiful thoughts began to push out the old hideous ones, life began to come back to him...Two things cannot be in one place."

How true!! Thoughts are powerful. You can think life, or you can think death. Whoa. How's that for deep? Hahaa....is it weird that I can give myself a pep talk? Ah well. Until we meet again, Keandra
