huge

lately, God has been revealing himself to me a whole lot. He is so big, He works so mysteriously, yet obviously. He is full of grace, and beauty and is never lacking in anything. He works in His own time to create a masterpiece. He is God.

He has captivated me, once again.

He is huge.

May He use me however He needs; i am nothing without Him.

I am excited to see what the Lord has in store this year. He has placed me in a lifegroup with 6 others, and He has already blown me away with the way He moves in people. its incredible! He leaves me standing here with my mouth open, craving more of Him and less of me. It is obvious to see His hand in all of His creation.

i pray that i will listen to Him constantly.

i pin them to my fingerless gloves, i wear you all day.

here is what has been in my head the past few days. you really cant go wrong with them. and because of my deep love for autumn and later, winter i like to find music that brings about the same feeling that the cold weather does. and i believe these bands are perfection when it comes to capturing that.

horse feathers is what happens when a bluegrass guitar and violin meets a haunting cello and saw. they are so great. they make me want to run through a forest :)
if lisa hannigan lived in denton, tx she would be my best friend. she is a beautiful irish woman who sings from the soul. her music is refreshing and nostalgic! listen to her.
if you haven't heard this guys music before, you need to go to his myspace. his name is Jeff Pianki and he is a sweet, raw guitarist/banjo genius/xylophonist who makes brilliant music that you can feel. its excellent, and his humility seeps through his songs. check him out.
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. i recently just re-watched once and was reminded of how real these people are and how music is just a part of them. p.s- they have a new album coming out. YAY!
i have always loved them, but they just keep getting better and better. Fleet Foxes. i love their music because nature is leaking from all of their songs, its incredible!

i love finding Jesus in music.

im so thankful that the Lord gave me ears.

all i ask is that i can wear my winter coat before thanksgiving.

i belong in cold weather; i love it way too much. i look forward to it each summer and miss it when it turns to spring. the chilly air, the grey-blue sky and the fallen leaves, the way the mountains look topped with snow; they all bring me an indescribable sense of comfort.

winter is a time of healing, warmth and growth. in the winter i want to escape to a forest lay down in the frozen leaves...im in love. winter, come quickly!

verse of the day:

Isaiah 40:3-5

"A voice of one calling: 'In the desert prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.'"

i love that the Lord gives us seasons and landscape to admire. for He is the creator of all good things.

it has been a while, but the Lords faithfulness is unchanging.

a song that has been running through me lately:

I feel you in the pocket of my overcoat
My fingers wrap around your words
And take the shape of games we play

I feed your words through my buttonholes
I bring them to my fingerless gloves
Green and prone to fraying

I keep you in the pockets of my dresses
And the bristles of my brushes
Spin you into my curls today

I spoon you into my coffee cup
Spin you through a delicate wash
I wear you all day
I wear you all day

Thoughts of you, warm my bones

Im on my way, im on the phone

Lets get lost, me and you

An ocean and a rock is nothing to me.

Ocean and a Rock by Lisa Hannigan, a beautiful irish woman whose words pierce my soul!
