Meant to Live

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

[Chorus]

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

Well......

we just got home from Awana awhile ago. It was an ok night. (Sometimes it's kind of chaotic) The kids in my group were nice and calm (Which is very unusual). One of the girls in my group finished her Skipper book tonight. She was so happy. It was adorable. The skit that we did was shorter than the usual ones we do. I just remembered this morning that I had to write the skit. My friend, who was supposed to write it, had some kind of concert for band. And he couldn't make it. Inspiration did not pop into my head like it usually does so I had to look for one on the internet. It took me awhile to find one that would work for our group. I finally found one that was good enough. It said that it would take about seven minutes to perform. It actually took about three minutes to perform. :) As we all exited the room we heard a little kid say "That was short!". My team, green team, won! They were so good at lining up and sitting quietly that we got a lot of extra points. If they didn't give us points for that we probably would have lost. They didn't do that great in the actual games tonight. :) ttyl.

The Hand Song

Sun, 5 Mar 2006 20:28:00 -0600

The Hand Song
by, Nickel Creek

The boy only wanted to give Mother something
And all of her roses had bloomed
Looking at her as he came rushing in with them
Knowing her roses were doomed
All she could see were some thorns buried deep
And the tears that he cried as she tended his wounds

And she knew it was love
It was one she could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands

He still remembers that night as child
On his mother's knee
She held him close and she opened her bible
And quietly started to read
And seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out
"Momma, he's got some scars just like me."

And he knew it was love
It was one he could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands

Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own
When Uncle Sam comes along
A foreign affair, but our young men were there
And luck had his number drawn
It wasn't that long till our hero was gone
He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross

But they knew it was love
It was one they could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands

It was one they could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands

My Sister's B-day Party

Sun, 5 Mar 2006 20:09:00 -0600

Today my sister had her birthday party. We had a lot of fun...except when we played capture the flag. As usual, it was very chaotic. Every time we play capture the flag with our friends it ends in arguing. MAJOR ARGUING! Basically SCREAMING AT ONE ANOTHER! But we all agreed to just shut up and pretend it didn't happen. We also played pickle and elbow tag. Bailey (my puppy) probably had the most fun today. She got a lot of love and attention. She also got a lot of exercise. Actually, she's soooo tired that she's been laying on her bed since everyone left. Which is very unusual for her. She's normally always running around until she has to go to bed. She's sound asleep.

I got to do nursery in church today! I was so happy. I got to do it with two close friends. We had a blast.

Dare You to Move

Dare You To Move

by, Switchfoot

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?

[Chorus:]
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

[Chorus]

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

[Chorus]

I didn't mess up!!!

Today was my piano recital. I was sooooooo nervous. I had to have my song completely memorized and not use my music. My turn was second to last out of about 30 students. They go youngest to oldest. I didn't mess up!! At least that anyone could notice. lol. I was so relieved when it was over. I played the "Dill Pickles Rag". Here is a link for the song: http://www.primeshop.com/ragsmid/dillpikl.mid

Let me know if it doesn't work.

I haven't posted in a week or so because I've been really sick. I had a fun birthday party last week. We played a lot of games. I got some new Switchfoot c-ds and the newest Relient K c-d. I also got a lot of new board games. My piano recital is coming up soon. I'm a little more confident than last time. But this time I have to have the song memorized. It's called "Dill Pickles Rag" and it is really fun to play.

What I've Been Up To Lately.......

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 23:37:00 -0600

We saw Narnia again! I loved it even more than the first time I saw it. It's such a good movie. It makes me want to read the whole series again.

I'm learning Ragtime music! I've always wanted to learn Ragtime songs on the piano ever since I saw the movie "Summer Magic". And that was before I even started to play the piano. I asked my teacher if I could try a higher level because I love playing hard music. My teacher has me doing seven different piano books right now. Hanon (exercises), A Dozen A Day #2 (more exercises), Lesson Book, Technique & Artistry, Theory, Popular Repertoire, and Ragtime/Marches (Level: Big Time). All of the books, except for the exercise books, are in a series called "Piano Adventures" by, Nancy and Randall Faber. I really like their method and I plan to use their series when I teach piano lessons. I love piano!

I finished the Left Behind series!! It was soooooo good! I'm so glad that I decided to read them. I'm reading "The Rising-Antichrist is Born" Which is about the characters lives before they were left behind. It's very interesting because it really explains why some of the characters turned out the way they did. I bought the first two books, together, for $3.00 at our library's used book store. A $50.00 value. They look like they've never been used. $3.00 for two books that were made in 2005.
