a new song.

well where to begin? this week has been crazy.

lets start with school. i changed schools. i now go to Franklin Academy. and so far so good. i am actually learning which is marvelous. i have learned more the past 5 days at Franklin then i did the whole month i was at new concepts. and unfortunately my hours from new concepts didn't transfer and we have to pay them a lot of money for nothing. so that's annoying but oh well that's life right? i am happy where i am now. I've learned how to wax eyebrows and do the basic facial. so that's pretty cool. i think i am going to enjoy this.

and work...I'm off allll week for fall break. the end on that subject :)

and what i really want to talk about...me and Jesus! i am falling more in love with him and i am loving it. he is so incredible and leaves me in awe. this morning i went to church with Alex at Greenway and it was really good. you know the song solid rock? the old hymn that everyone knows. well we sang that today and I'm pretty sure that song has never been more real to me and has never made me smile so big then it did this morning. just listen to the words...my hope is built on nothing less then Jesus blood and righteousness. i dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus name. when darkness seems to hide is face i rest on his unchanging grace. in every high and stormy gale my anchor holds within the veil. when he shall come with trumpet sound oh may i then in him be found. dressed in his righteousness alone faultless to stand before the throne. and then the chours we all know...on Christ the solid rock i stand all other ground is sinking sand all other ground is sinking sand..... wow isn't that awesome! i loved it and when i was singing it this morning me and my heart were smiling. on another Jesus note.... :)... in the last post i told you that i had started reading Isaiah and i think i stopped on chapter 7 in the post well I'm going to skip to chapter 11. Isaiah 11:1-5 describes Jesus in a beautiful and perfect way. and he is beautiful and perfect so they did a pretty good job don't ya think? :) so go read it! on down in verse 9 the last part says "and as the waters fill the seas, so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord" i picture that in my head as people all around, people who love Jesus with all their heart, who know is goodness, and have experienced is grace and mercy. picture us all gathered together, a group as big as the sea, all worshiping our savior, our God. i love it! i wish i could paint because i think i could create some pretty awesome painting....but i cant so ill stick to photography :) oh and speaking of paintings i think God is an awesome one. Just look at the earth. but i can also see it when i read the bible. maybe poet would be a better word....in chapter 18 of Isaiah verse 4 says this "i will watch quietly from my dwelling place-as quietly as the heat rises on a summer day, or as the dew forms on an autumn morning during the harvest" isn't that beautiful!? i think so! on down in the last part of verse 7, actually its the last sentence in the chapter it says "..the place where is name dwells" when i read that i thought of how cool it would be if the place that his name dwells would be upon my heart. like i cant explain it entirely but i want my heart to be his dwelling place. my heart is his. i want him to take me deeper. teach me how to love him more. trust him more and have faith like Paul did. i love spending time with him. he is my daddy and i have the privilege to crawl up in his lap each day to listen to his stories and to feel his heart beat. i am blessed.

so i think this post is coming to an end. i feel like i went all over the place in this but oh well...have a beautiful day :)
