choices and travels
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves.
We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…

my god is great
Matt Redman - You Never Let Go
From the album Passion 06: Everything Glorious
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know You are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth
Chorus:
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
Chorus: (2x’s)
put it on repeat. sing it at the top of your lungs. love the sound of praise you offer because he deserves it.
is it shocking to realize "you can see god tonight... if you wanna"? do you believe it? can you fully wrap your mind around the fact that a god so great is so available so often, as in always. I often have to ask myself: Why are you fighting so hard for yourself? Is fighting for my happiness on Earth really more important when God has already prepared a home for me? Why do you spend so much time fighting for ourself when you should be fighting for yourself? It's a conviction i have recently been finding myself repeating in times of need. I have lately been so incontent with the typical life i lead and i forget god put me in this exact place for a very specific reason, to share his truth, not to endulge in the "good life". I am all about me. Shamelessly i ask god for whatever my heart desires. Gracefully he always gives it to me. I deserve none of what i have. Questioning god on his timing makes it all about me. why do i find myself always coming back to me? I am more into me. My god is too small. I have put him in a neatly labeleed box.... But my god is not time. He is the only constant, the great I AM. My god does not stop, will not stop. He does not die, is not born. My gos is neverending and allpowerful. My god overcomes.
And if my god is with me, Whom then shall I fear? Whom then shall I fear?

Private Jazmyn
- the differences between my public school and their private school were smaller than i preconceived. What i thought was the grand canyon was really just a crack in the pavement. Class was the same. People were the same just in different ways. instead of being ghetto they enjoyed a different sphere of stereotype. overall i really enjoyed the people there. they seemed to welcome me genuinely. Plus, there's some real jokers there, they had me crying in 4th period!!! not to mention all those pretty boys. Not hot. these boys were just darn pretty to look at. i wouldnt mind seeing that everyday!
- there were only like four hallways!
- the actual classes were pretty much the same as mine. well, except for bible class. that was a crazy one in a very good way. it involved calling for help, twister, stewart, and prostate exams. such a good mix!!!
- wonderful impressions
- its the small things i was so surprised by. for example:
- before school started everyone just sat around alking. like the halls were literally like lined with people
- they have actual school bells.
- we walked down to the church next door and they trused noone would just leave
- we ate outside. so adorable (they only have like 8 caf. tables btw; i cant even count ours)
- they just leave their bags laying around. nobody steals them either. impressive.
- overall i think its too much of a sacrifice for my family and my personal loves to transfer schools just for the people. itd be too selfish and id miss out on a lot. no offense ezell- you have plenty to offer. dont tie me up in a uniform and hang me from the roof. i dont wanna pull out my black side on ya!
- i had a good day. maybe if it wasnt senior year. maybe if they had theater. maybe if i didnt already have to worry about college. but oh well. ill just keep on being a trooper at lavergne. its where im needed. keep on spreading the word
