HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!ive got to have repeated that at least 20 times over the last hour.last night was so great...i was at home at 9 feeling bored and depressed...so i went to church. i arrived for the nightwatch service horrifically late...so communion was just starting...and suddenly, i just cried.i cried and cried...i dont know why...i just couldnt stop. Gods presense was so...real.then we prayed and this kind man came and prayed with me...after that was worship...it was all so amazing...this new year, everything will be done Gods way

hmm...what song befits this season...?
the true meaning of Christmas...Jesus Christ
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy
would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy
would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy
has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered
will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy
will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy
will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy
has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby
you kissed the face of God?
Oh Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb!
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy
is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy
will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy
is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding
is the Great,
I Am...

Any momenteverything can changeFeel the wind on your shoulderFor a minuteall the world can waitLet go of your yesterdayCan you hear it callingCan you feel it in your soulCan you trust this longingAnd take controlAll your worriesleave them somewhere elseFind a dream you can followReach for somethingwhen there's nothing leftAnd the world's feeling hollowAnd when you're down and feel aloneJust want to run awayTrust yourself and don't give upYou know you better than anyone elseFly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
cause it's your time
Time to flyIn a moment, everything can change- Fly -Hilary DuffHilary Duff - 28th September 2004mmm...old song...but its still great......'let go of your yesterday'deleted past posts...this time with God in viewim gonna start all over again...i promisethe OC rocks!!some saint is uploading all the episodes on youtube!!
