You Make Me Happy
Day Four: Smile! We want to see your teeth today. Post a self-portrait.
Day Five: share your favorite recipe.
I am an awful cook. I just didn't receive that particular gene. so my "recipe" collection is non existent. HOWEVER i am a PRO smoothie maker. usually i just put whatever we have in our fridge/freezer into a blender. but my fave combo is probably
frozen strawberries
bananas
peaches
lemonade
vanilla yogurt
mmmmm. [:
now i want a smoothie...

DAY THREE: SHARE YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE/SONG LYRIC.
imma do both.
cause i'm an overachiever.
:]
quote: John 3:30- He must become greater; i must become less.
song lyrics:
Lift Me Up- Kate Voegele
This road is anything but simple
Twisted like a riddle I've seen high and I've seen low
So loud, the voices of all my doubts
Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town
Even so, I had to believe
Impossible means nothing to me, yeah
So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
‘Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun
Somewhere, every body starts there
I'm counting on a small prayer,
Lost in a nightmare
But I'm here, and suddenly it's so clear
The struggle through the long years
It taught me to outrun my fears
Everything worth having, oh
Comes with trials worth withstanding
So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
‘Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun
Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
Oh, Lift me up
Down and out is overrated
And I need to be elevated
Looking up is not enough
No, I would rather rise above
So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
‘Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun
Oh, oh, oh, just begun
Lift me up, yeah, oh, oh, oh, yeah, now
Oh, oh, lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up

Life is such a blessing.
i love it. :]

For You
For You
Only here for a short time
This world is longer than this life of mine
Who will remember me and what will I leave behind?
Will I leave a mark on this world or will it leave its mark on me?
Live not of;
Live for You.
I wanna see; not just look
Feel; not just touch
Listen; not just hear
I want to love You so much
That others will learn to follow in Your Name
I’m gonna lift up Your praise.
Nothing can separate me but my own misguided heart
I want to be more than just a face;
I want to lead a life that is worthy of representing Your saving grace.
I will:
Live not of;
but
Live for You.
I wanna see; not just look
Feel; not just touch
Listen; not just hear
I want to love You so much
That others will learn to follow in Your Name
I’m gonna lift up Your praise.
All of You is more than I deserve.
My heart made by You is destroyed by my own sinful nerve.
Help me to see; not just look
Feel; not just touch
Listen; not just hear
Help me to love You so much
That others will learn to follow in Your Name
I’m gonna lift up Your praise.
I’m gonna live my life
for You.
so much has been going on this summer.
one day i'll write about it (not that anyone reads this anyway haha whoops).
but for now, the song above will suffice. :]
God is good.
