He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane
I am a tree
Bending beneath
The weight of his wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these
Afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize how beautiful you are
And how great your affections are for me

Oh how he loves us so
Oh how he loves us
How he loves us so

Yeah he loves us
Oh how He loves us

We are his portion
And he is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in his eyes
If grace is an ocean we’re all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss
And my heart burns violently inside of my chest
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way
He loves us

Oh how he loves us so
Oh how he loves us
How he loves us so

Yeah he loves us
Oh how he loves us

-John Mark McMillan

How awesome is this lyric? The words are so powerful!

Think about them and tell me what you think when you get a chance!

I've grown so much over this past year, spiritually and emotionally. Me and my "best friend" have been good friends since middle school, but we are sooo different now and I can feel the tension when we're around each other.

I need to start surrounding myself with people who can help me grow and stay in my faith. I don't party and I'm not obsessed with finding a boyfriend. I know now what I need to focus on and she's holding me back.

Now... how do I tell her?

School is out and summer is upon us! I decided that this summer can be as good or as bad as I want it to be.

At the beginning of the school year, I had to write a letter to the person I would be at the end of the year... here it is:

Dear (my name was here),

It's only the second day of school and you are so overwhelmed already. By now, you've conquered the year, and I pray that you are a different woman. More mature, caring, sensitive and everything you've ever wanted is yours. And, I hope most importantly that you're happy with your life.I don't know what went on this year, but I hope I'm just a memory. I hope you still love to help people and give everyone love. Whatever you do, wherever you go, never forget a moment of your life. Learn from each new experience.
Live. Laugh. Love.
-Me

So that was my note to me, and my note to you now. Write yourself a note and put it away, somewhere where you'll forget about it. Then someday you'll find it and look back.

Live. Laugh. Love.
-Me
