This Evening's Musings

It's nice to be here, a place of writing and heart-scribing. I think I need it right now.

I've had a night full of seeing how some of the people in my life are truly real. Heartbreakingly, I've also discovered how many people I'm around daily are fake. I don't think there is a bigger feeling of disappointment than discovering someone that you're around all the time is not really who you thought they were. They become liars. There's no doubt that I'm not perfect. Sometimes I want people to think that I'm perfect. But I'm not. And I respect people who don't try to act like they have it all together. The most healthy relationships that I have are with people who don't try to frantically cover up their short comings. And that is what I appreciate the most out of real people. They're real to me. I'm worth the honest friendship and the truth.

God has been easily evident this last week. I truly believe it's because I've been reading my Bible before my feet hit the floor in the morning. Now, I'm a little frightened not to! I love seeing his handiwork in the butterflies and pink/blue skies (He gave me a thing for pretty skies). I love feeling blessed by the words of encouragers -- a few have reassured me tonight, making me feel like I'm where I belong. That is always a lovely feeling.

On a lighter note... Have you seen my apron of cuteness? (:

I'm thankful for this place. That 'publish post' button is looking caressingly orange, and like it's full of healing.

Life Song Journal: The Intro

Welcome to the Life Song Journal! Since the beginning, life has been a song. You write it, you sing it, you live it. This is where my verses are written down, co-written by my lovely Jesus -- whom I love to harmonize with. I like to sing about a lot of things: my Savior (being my favorite), the home I have in Haiti, whatever is pressing on my heart, and for those who can't sing for themselves.

This isn't my song alone. We are called to come together as a community, as a body, as a bride, as a choir. Your voice is not only welcomed but fully desired here at the Life Song Journal. So, please, sing along. (:

I would like to thank Nikki and Blogs for a Cause for helping me beautify this blog (for the second time)! Two years ago on January 2, 2008, Nikki designed my blog (header below), saving me from the plain orange page that I had for a year before that, titled "Lizzie's Blog."

I pray that this is a song you will enjoy, as I know I will. I find that when I write on this blog, it brings me an abnormal sense of happiness and peace with the Lord. For the last three years, this has been, and still is, a huge gift and blessing from God in my life. I'm hoping that it could be the tiniest bit a spirit-lifter for you as well.

Psalm 95:2 ~ "Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song."
