Song of the day: Have You Got It In You. By Imogen Heap.

A Time For Everthing

Ecclesiastes 3:

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 
a time to be born, and a time to die; 

a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 

a time to kill, and a time to heal; 

a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.

Scandal of Grace

Grace, what have You done?
Murdered for me on that cross
Accused in absence of wrong
My sin washed away in Your blood

Too much to make sense of it all
I know that Your love breaks my fall
The scandal of grace, You died in my place
So my soul will live

Oh to be like You
Give all I have just to know You
Jesus, there's no one besides You
Forever the hope in my heart

Death, where is your sting?
Your power is as dead as my sin
The cross has taught me to live
And mercy, my heart now to sing

The day and its trouble shall come
I know that Your strength is enough
The scandal of grace, You died in my place
So my soul will live

And it's all, because of You, Jesus
It's all, because of You, Jesus
It's all, because of Your love
And my soul will live

Oh to be like You
Give all I have just to know You
Jesus, there's no one besides You
Forever the hope in my heart...

~ 

This song makes me weep every time i hear it. To imagine that someone would lay down their life's for someone who has turned away from him so many times...
The scandal of grace is truly amazing. That he would die in my place.

~

Oh to be like You
Give all I have just to know You
Jesus, there's no one besides You
Forever the hope in my heart

~

That is how i want to live my life. to be like Him, to give all i have just to know Him, to have none besides Him and to forever have Him as the hope in my heart.

Oh Lord, Thank you for the Scandal of Grace...


Love,
Hannah <3

Things...

things that make me smile~
handwritten letters
sunsets in the summer sky
moving music
watermelon
walks though my small town
finding more out about my Jesus
organizing

things that make me frown~ 
math
that summer is almost over
letting go
stepping on the scale
change 
not being able to find anything to wear
vanity 

through someone else's eyes.

"I hate my hair, nose, lips and I'm soooooo fat!!"

I can't help but listen in on this conversation going on behind me.
I turn around to see who this girls is and I'm shocked.

She's Beautiful.
Lovely auburn hair. Cute little button nose. the prefect plump lips and no way on Gods green earth fat!

"M/F/N, You are beautiful! I would trade all my virtues for yours!" I say.  She looks at me a bit shocked and says "Are you kidding? I've always wanted your hair, eyes and skin tone! You're much prettier!"

I was shocked. I always disliked my hair and skin tone! and my eyes always seemed a bit dull.
I always thought she was 10x prettier!

~ ~ ~

When ever i see a really pretty girl, I always think that they must be so happy with themselves. they must know how beautiful they are. but for must of the time they are just a insecure as i am. 

As Girls, i suppose we always pick out are flaws and dislikes about ourselves, but we need to realize that we're beautiful. God made me to be me. even with all my flaws I'm beautiful. And to some, my "Flaws" are what makes me beautiful!

This has just be a short reminder that you are BEAUTIFUL. And don't drag yourself down. and remember that there are tons of girls who would die to have what you have.


Have a lovely Monday!


Love,
Hannah <3
