East to the West

As far as the East is from the West.
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Psalms 103:12

Here I am Lord and I'm drowning 
In your sea of forgetfulness 
The chains of yesterday surround me 
I yearn for peace and rest 
I don't want to end up where you found me 
And it echoes in my mind 
Keeps me awake tonight 

I know you've cast my sins as far 
As the East is from the West 
And I stand before you now 
As though I've never sinned but today 
I feel like I'm just one mistake away 
From you leaving me this way 

Jesus can you show me 
Just how far the East is from the West 
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been 
Come rising up in me again 
In the arms of your mercy I find rest 
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West 
From one scared hand to the other 

I start the day the war begins 
Endless reminding of my sin 
Time and time again 
Your truth Is drowned out by the storm I'm in 
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away 
From you leaving me this way 

Jesus can you show me 
Just how far the East is from the West 
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been 
Come rising up in me again 
In the arms of your mercy I find rest 
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West 
From one scared hand to the other 

I know you've washed me white 
Turned my darkness into light 
I need your peace to get me through 
To get me through this night 
I can't live by what I feel 
But by the truth your word reveals 
I'm not holding on to you 
But your holding on to me 
Your holding on to me 

Jesus, you know just how far 
The East is from the West 
I don't have to see the man I've been 
Come rising up in me again 
In the arms of your mercy I find rest 
(The arms of your mercy I find rest) 
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West 
From one scared hand to the other(x2) 

(Just how far, the East is from the West) (x3) 

From one scarred hand to the other

Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
Isaiah 1:18

This Is So Sad But So True

Why do we sleep in church
But stay awake through a two hour movie?

Why is it so hard to talk about God
But so easy to gossip?

Why are we so bored when we look at a Christian magazine
But find it so easy to read Playboy?

Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly facebook or wall post
Yet we repost the rude ones?

Why are churches getting smaller
But bars and clubs growing larger?

Think about it. Are you going to Repost this?

Are you going to ignore it because you think you'll get laughed at?

Would you have opened this if it said "Read this in God's Name"?

80% of you won't repost this.

Narnia Poems

     "Where sky and water meet
     Where the waves grow sweet
     Doubt not Reepicheep to find all you seek
     There is the utter East."
             C.S. Lewis (The Voyage of the Dawn Treader)

     "But just where the land of Narnia meets the sea
      In fact, at the mouth of the Great River
      There was something on a little hill shining....
      To Peter it looked like a great star resting on the seashore."
            C.S. Lewis (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe)

      "Wrong will be right when Aslan comes in sight
        At the sound of his roar sorrows will be no more.
        When He bares is white teeth Winter meets it's death
       And when He shakes his mane Spring will come again."

House of Healing

With a sigh you turn away.
With a deepening heart no more words to say.
You will find that the world has changed forever.
And the tress are now turning from green to gold.
And the sun is now fading.
I wish I could hold you closer.

Today

Today I went with my sister, friend named Abby, and her mom to this Aquatic
center. It was really fun; there was this giant blowup ice berg that you could climb up and then slide down the other side. I only went up and down it once because it was really steep. I didn't mind going up it that much, but coming down...well lets just say it's so steep that you don't slide...You just Drop! I'm not sure how tall it was but it was really tall. I mostly just swam, which felt so good because I hadn't done it since summer. Well that's all for now!

A Day in my Life

I wake up at around seven-seven thirty a.m and make my bed. When that's finished I go downstairs
sharpen my pencils for school and check my email and sometimes my blog if I have time. I never eat breakfast so that gives me more time to do my devotions, which I do next. When my devos are finished I begin my Algebra, and then the rest of my subjects. At eleven I go downstairs and my mom checks my math, science, writing (if it's done) and reading. I am usually finished working with my mom by twelve thirty and that gives me time to finish any other subjects that I hadn't done earlier. After I eat lunch I practice my flute for about 45 minutes. Then if my mom has something she wants me to do for her I will get that done and then I can usually do whatever I want the rest of the day, unless I have to babysit. If it is a Monday I leave for riding lessons at four forty five p.m and don't get home until seven thirty. Dinner is usually ready to eat when I get home. If it is a Wednesday, I have to be ready to leave for my flute lesson by eleven thirty a.m. and don't get home from that until one thirty. When I get home my mom rushes out the door again to take my three other sisters to their violin lessons. For the rest of the day I am making dinner, helping my little sister with school work she didn't finish, and cleaning up around the house. I always have the table set, candles already lit, and dinner ready when my mom and sisters get home at five. We eat dinner, I do the dishes, and we leave for prayer meeting at church. If it is a Friday I and two of my sisters have orchestra rehearsal at five p.m and we don't get home until eight. Well that is basically my life. It is very busy, but also enjoyable.

New year

Happy New year Everyone!
What did you all do last night? I went to my church for a "watch night service". We play games and eat until eleven, then our Pastor does a little service, and then everyone holds hands in a circle around the auditorium. When the clock strikes twelve someone rings the bell on the organ and we all welcome each other to the New Year.

Our Christmas

I awoke to the sound of my younger sister calling my name. She said to hurry up and get down
stairs because everybody was waiting for me. As soon as I changed out of my pajamas I hurried down the stairs into the living room where my mom, dad, two brothers, and four sisters were waiting. The first thing we did was devotions, then mom told my youngest sister, Moriah, to go to the tree in the dining room and choose a gift of hers to open. She chose a gift from my oldest brother, Scot, that was addressed to all of us. It was At World's End and Ratatouille. He also gave us the soundtrack to At World's End, which sounds awesome! I got a really cute pair of fuzzy pajamas from my parents and a horse paint by numbers from my younger sister, Jennifer. We also got a Wii from my parents which we played practically the rest of the day. For dinner my brother, Scot, who is a chef made stuffed lobster which was actually really good and linguini with a lobster sauce over it. There was sparkling grape juice and we had cream puffs for desert.
The next day we went to my grandparents houses. First we went to my dad's mom's house. There
we had breakfast and also visited our cousins who were at my great aunt's house next door. At around two o'clock we went to my mom's parents house who live only twenty minutes away from my grandma. My Nana (as we call her) served us tons of food, as she always does. I won't even begin to try to name everything we ate. My mom's sister and her husband were also there. My Uncle Joel is my favorite Uncle, he is so kind and funny and is always in charge of entertaining everyone.
I had a wonderful Christmas and I hope everyone had one as enjoyable as mine.

Christmas Plans

I love Christmas! Tonight is Christmas Eve and we went over to a families house for dinner. We had alot of fun and now we are home waiting for my oldest brother to arrive. He is a chef and will be making us Christmas dinner tomorrow; I believe he's making something with lobster and crab. I am kind of grossed out about the fact that we have live lobster in a paper bag our refrigerator. But anyways I will write tomorrow about our families Christmas Day.
