3rd time's the charm

pahahaha, "Speaking of families, I read an article the other day about citrus fruit and its effect on children's teeth..."
:-) Saturday night after church has turned into Christmas movie nights this year...first we had "The Santa Clause" (the 1st one w/Tim Allen, because the next 2 were useless), then "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (animated, thank you very much), and tonight - "White Christmas."

"We like to take of our friends."
"But we're practically strangers!"
"We'd like to take care of that, too."
classic.

(the movie is also allowing me to multi-task right now...in case you couldn't tell.)

Anyyyywho. Third time's the charm because I already started 2 other posts in the past month that never had enough substance to be worth posting...
*exhibit A:
11/19/10
Title: Long month?
Body: Look at that...5 days until Thanksgiving, 2 1/2 weeks until my birthday,

*exhibit B:
12/1/10
Title: November danced away...
Body: I had started to post once in November....I made it through one sentence before I was pulled away. (probably fell asleep.)
I don't think I lost November, per se, it just kept on chugging along.


haha, and now? I'm 21 yrs + 3 days old, 4 days away from the end of my first quarter at Life U, 2 weeks away from Christmas, 20 days shy of Passion 2011, and more in love with Jesus than ever before. =)
Something really sinking in my spirit during this season is the concept of Advent - expectantly waiting during this Christmas season for God to do something miraculous. (I have a story, but it will be a separate post to spare confusion and give me a study break at some point tomorrow.)

One of the songs I'm currently stuck on: You Have Me - Gungor (ALSO, Beautiful Things, The Earth is Yours...basically their entire Beautiful Things album. :-)

Out on the farthest edge
There in the silence
You were there

My faith was torn to shreds
Heart in the balance
And You were there

Always faithful, always good
You still have me
You still have my heart

I thought I had seen the end
Everything broken
But You were there

I've wandered at heaven's gates
I've made my bed in hell
You were there still

Always faithful, always good
You still have me
You still have my heart

You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely
You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely

Currently chewing: Psalm 42 & Isaiah 26


Much love to all - I'll have something more to share once finals are over. glory to God. :-)
