I Can Only Imagine

 

 I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by Your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When Your face is before be
I can only imagine, yeah

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus?
Or in awe of You be still? 

Will I stand in Your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the sun
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only Imagine 

 

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my hear fell?
Will I dance for You Jesus?
Or in awe of You be still?

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the sun
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only Imagine

Well Bye,

What I Live for

I Live for those who love me,

Whose hearts are kind and true;

For the heaven that smiles above me,

And awaits my spirit, too;

For all human ties that bind me,

For the task my God assigned me,

For the bright hopes left behind me,

And the good that I can do.

I live to learn their story,

Who suffered for my sake;

To emulate their glory,

And follow in their wake;

Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,

The noble of all ages,

Whose deeds crown History’s pages,

And Time’s great volume make.

I live to hail that season,

By gifted minds foretold,

When man shall live by reason,

And not alone by gold;

When man to man united,

And every wrong thing righted,

The whole world shall be lighted

As Eden was of old.

I live for those who love me,

For those who know me true;

For the heaven that smiles above me,

And awaits my spirit, too;

For the cause that needs assistance,

For the wrongs that need resistance,

For the future in the distance,

And the good that I can do!

~From McGuffey’s fifth reader~ 

I really loved this poem!

He hides a smiling face

God moves in a mysterious way

His wonders to perform;

He plants his footsteps in the sea,

And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines

Of never failing skill,

He treasures up his bright designs

And works his sovereign will

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,

The clouds ye so much dread

And big with mercy, and shall break

In blessings on your head.

Judge not the lord by feeble sense,

But trust him for his grace;

Behind a frowning providence

He hides a smiling face.

His purpose will ripen fast,

Unfolding every hour;

The bud may have bitter taste,

But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,

And scan his work in vain:

God is his own interpreter,

And He will make it plain.

~William Cowper~

I should not have sought him...

"When I was coming to Christ, I thought I was doing it was doing it all myself, and though I sought the Lord earnestly, I had no idea the Lord was seeking me. I do not think the young convert is a first aware of this. I can recall the very day and hour when first I received those truths [of the doctrine of election] in my own soul–when they were as John Bunyan said, burnt into my heart as with a hot iron, and I can recollect how I felt that I had grown on a sudden from a babe into a man–that I had made progress in scriptural knowledge, through having found, once for all, the clue to the truth of God. One weeknight, when I was sitting in the house of God, I was not thinking much about the preacher's sermon. The thought struck me, How did you come to be a Christian? I sought the Lord. But how did you come to seek the Lord? The truth flashed across my mind in a moment–I should not have sought him unless there had been some previous influence in my mind to make me seek him. I prayed, thought I, but then I asked myself, How came I to read the Scriptures? I did read them, but what led me to do so? Then, in a moment, I saw that God was at the bottom of it all, and that he was the Author of my faith, and so the doctrine I have not departed to this day, and I desire to make this my constant confession, 'I ascribe my change wholly to God.'" 

~Charles Spurgeon~

Beautiful!!!

These are the sights that I look forward to everyday and I am amazed at even after sixteen years of seeing them.

We were sitting at the table eating dinner and I saw the orange light come into the sky. I jumped up and ran out the back door, because no matter what is going on I have to take the time to look at the sunset! 

It's my favorite time of day and I will always feel more happy, more alive, and more blessed every time I get to see the sunset!

I love living in the South!

The last like three weeks have been so awesome! that it makes me think it is spring, and I know the flowers think it's spring because they are all blooming.

I took this picture three days ago and there are at lest twenty others flowers just like it. 

I've been playing soccer bar-foot, we've been playing out after dark again and not felt like we where going to freeze, the mosquitoes are thriving in all the puddles and I know from personal experience (a very bad experience) that the poison-ivy is still growing very well. 

It is so beautiful around hear I thought I would tell y'all! 

I feel like I need to put quotation marks at the beginning and end of this, it's been to long sense I have just posted for fun. I will try to do more 'fun' posts soon.

Well Bye,

A beautiful bunch of flowers for Mommy!

It has been so beautiful lately and the flowers have been so pretty that we had to pick some.

We had a little discussion about that you can't just cut the heads of the flowers,

You have to pick the hole thing,


And in the end we had a beautiful bunch of flowers for Mommy.
I love my sweet little brother!

Well bye,

All the bright and beautiful the Lord God made them all!

All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings.

The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun,

The ripe fruits in the garden,− He made them every one:

The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play,

The rushes by the water, We gather every day;−

He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell,

How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well.

I love to see how fast the seeds pop up.
If you get tired of all the flower pictures that I am going to put on my blog this summer than sorry but that's what I love.

Well bye,

Yippie!!

My Shasta Daisy just bloomed! I am very excited!
A very sweet friend gave me a packet of Shasta Dasie seeds two years ago and it bloomed last year for the first time.
This year had been eagerly waiting for it to bloom again, and here it is!!!

I will put up more photos when the rest bloom.
Well bye,

I love spring!!!

I got tired of just doing that "30 day thing", and decided to show you something interesting instead, so hear are some wonderful flowers that are blooming in our yard this spring.

Day 6: A moment you wish you could relive.

Well I think there are a lot of Moments that I would like to relive, but I think one that I would like to relive the most is driving up at Dada's (my granddad) beach house at night and smelling the beach, or waking up at the beach house the next morning and seeing all the sand and getting to make the first foot prints in the sand.

Well that is one of the many many memories that I would like to relive.

Day 1: A favorite song.

My favorite song is probably "When I Get Where I'm Going" by Brad Paisley.
Sorry, I don't have a cool music video of it, but it is at the top of my playlist, and when I get older and get a cell phone I might use it as my ring-tone.
Well that was petty easy, bye.

I love flowers!

My beautiful flowers!
I can't wait for spring! All the flowers around our house will start to bloom, and I can plant the seeds I got for Christmas.
These photos are of the flowers I grow last year (and I hope to grow again this year.)
Well I hope you like the photos of another thing that I love. (I really love all the bright colors!)

Well Bye,
