I am an outcast
A reject of society
Just like you were
Persecuted and abandoned
The world is gonna hate me
Like they hated you
But I'll stand for you
With the stance of an outcast
I'll stand for you
We're called to the kingdom
Imitators of God
The righteous and true
The generation of tomorrow
I rising up to follow and serve you
I'll follow you
With the heart of an outcast
Ill follow you
Ill stand for you
With the stance of an outcast
Ill stand for you
This is the anthem of the outcast
A song of the redeemed
Sing it I am not the same
I am not the same
Whoa Whoa
Whoa Whoa
Sing it I am not the same
I am not the same

A Blog
Tonight? I cant even write about it, I cant even describe it, I cant... I just cant.
Jesus is---
Wow. In awe, in shock, in wonder, this is me amazed truly... truly amazed. I say it all the time but I really don't ever give enough power to that word... GOSH that word doesn't even begin to describe it!
If you are a human being this is for you.
You are beautiful, you are loved, you are cherished, you are precious and adored. Someone wants to hold you, someone wants to spend time with you, someone wants to listen to every little thing that's on your mind, someone wants to fill your empty places...the ones that you don't think anyone knows about....the places that hurt so bad they make you ache and cry and feel depressed... the emptiness that makes you want to be someone else...anyone else....or no one at all.
Can I tell you something?
There is someone who follows you around all the time dancing and singing over you... all around you. Someone who follows you around in awe of the person that you are and are going to be. Someone who thinks your beautiful.
Someone who thinks your beautiful.
Someone who thinks your beautiful.
Someone who thinks your beautiful.
Look up. He has great plans for you. He has great plans for your future and for your present!
Jesus says that you are beautiful. Jesus says where your heart is there your treasure is too. Jesus calls us his treasure, so you know what that says to me?
Jesus loves you and me more than anything else in this universe! He is so in love with you He sings to you, He dances over you!
Hear that. Receive it and believe it.

Today
This week is exuding craziness already and its not even half over!
All I have to say is drama drama drama. BLAH I wont get into detail but I will say that God is planning on turning some pretty ugly ashes into something that is fully beautiful and alive. He is working in me and showing me things that I have needed to see and face for a long long time. He is weeding the garden that is my heart and making sure that only roses and beauty remain.
(sigh) It's like spring coming out of a long hard winter and I have to laugh because it happens on a day where my body feels so physically ill but my soul cant stop singing.
Sometimes you just have to sit down and praise God saying, "This is my situation but you are bigger than my situation and because you are I am too! This is who I am and my situation does not define that YOU define that! These things that I have been carrying around on my shoulders, things that have been putting weight and pressure on my chest hindering me from breath, I relinquish all and give it to you because I am not strong enough independently. Only am I strong enough when you are walking with me in front and beside, carrying me through the storms and trials that the world brings. Jesus," I cry. "Jesus, you are all I need! Jesus, you are all I want and long for and love. It took me so long to get here but here I am, take me and mold me like the potter with his clay. Use me, Jesus. Use me."
Today is going to be a good day.

AAAAAAHA!
So I am feeling pretty puffed up and proud of myself because I have totally mastered the world of blogging. Now I'll admit it...it took me awhile to figure it out but I did and now...well now I have bragging rights and the courage to conquer the world!!!!
Ehem...sorry. Little carried away there.
Commence bragging-
Poo poo world of bloggers,poo poo.
And I will never admit that it took me till 2:30 in the morning to figure it all out. Nope never will.
I bid thee adieu.

Drive slow for the pedestrians
Today? Well today I decided to be a layabout and have a Buffy fest, I have been watching since 8 am you know how many Buffy episodes you can watch in 4 hours?
No?
Well let me tell you blogger friends! The answer is 5, quite amazing isn't it?
So now I am a little Buffy'd out, Zuzu is being stupid because she wont show me her hair and my hair is not so red anymore but it really quite pink.
On the plus side pink is so totally better than orange so I can deal.
I started writing a story, something I haven't done in awhile, story writing hasn't really been high up on my list of priorities lately and not surprisingly, I miss it. So the other night I started writing, it feels good to be writing something other than a song, refreshing really.
Alright so i must go food is becoming essential and my tummy is none to happy.
And remember; "Drive slow for the pedestrians"
thank you.

I feel so accomplished. Like I should bow and have honor or something.

I love her! Take me instead!
Tonight is one of those nights.
You know the kind of night where you have almost successfully convinced yourself that your over it... over him but in all actuality the only person your really fooling is you.
Am I allowed to feel lonely?
Am I allowed to miss him?
I know I shouldn't I know if there was any sense in me I would never give the situation another thought. I try not to dwell in the past but it is so hard not to when I feel like that was my love story! That was the part of my life worth reading!
Don't get me wrong Jesus is amazing! He has done so many phenomenal things in my life just recently its insane! And I am not down playing that at all! But to a girl the love story is the whole book!
Oh wow.
I love how I can sit here and write and come to all these conclusions, by visually seeing the thoughts that are running through my mind, as they are put down on paper.
Check this.
What if I am missing something essential here?
We have all already established that love is just one chapter in a guys life but to a girl its the whole book. Yeah we get it but check this!
What if Adam wasn't my love story?
What if he was just a page in a book full of love stories????
I can honestly say that I am one hundred and fifty thousand percent in love with Jesus.
What if that's my book?
Than its true!! The love story is the whole book!
It has nothing to do with Adam! He was just a page, a page that still had Jesus written all over it.
Jesus is the love story, the part worth reading.
Oh wow. I kinda want to start this blog over to keep my twisted thought process from you but since we are all being honest here.
I still miss him and I am going to miss and I am going to love him and I am going to think about him and there is absolutely nothing abnormal or wrong about that! As long as I don't dwell on it, as long as I keep it in check and don't let it all consume me.
I am tired.
so tired.
all the time.
and part of me wishes so desperately that I could turn back time and stop him from leaving and the other part knows that it was for the best.
Once upon a time there was a girl. She was lost, broken and alone. Until a knight came, a beautiful knight dressed in white, He was blameless, sinless and perfect. He longed for the girl, desperately,longed to wrap her in His arms, hold her to His chest and take every fear, broken piece, and failure away.
But there was a clause the only way they could ever be together, the only way possible for Him to take away her pain was to face all her demons head on, to take them on as His own demons, to take them on as His own failures and He knew that in doing this He would die.
For the crimes that she had committed, the things that she had done, were punishable....
She had done so much wrong, no longer was she a beautiful maiden of the light but one full of dark, one who shrouded herself in despair.
Someone had to pay the price. Someone had to take the darkness away, someone had to cover her in beauty and light once again.
The glorious knight fled into battle for His beloved. Saving her.
He was blameless. He was the only one who could heal her, He was the only one who could save her from certain death and in saving her.... He gave up everything!
Because He loved her. Because all He longed for was to have her near. Because all He wanted was for her to love Him and follow Him in return.
He died so that she could truly, truly live.
That is our love story girls.
Every single one of us have a knight who said, "I will not allow my precious bride to bear these things! I will not allow my darling to suffer this! She is hurt and dying and she may not deserve it but all I want for her is blessings and life, all I want for her is to know me and love me. So here I am! Take me instead! I know that death is her punishment for the sins she has committed but I LOVE HER! I will not allow her to take on this punishment,someone must take it I understand. Someone must bare it! So take me instead!
Take me instead!"
Aren't you glad that you have a lover who stood up and yelled "I love her! Take me instead! She deserves this but I cannot bare to see my beautiful angel suffer it! Take me instead!"
Jesus, beautiful one, Savior, lover.
thank you.
