Good quote

" People are often unreasonable and self-centered, forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have. And it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, It is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway."

-Mother Teresa

Quote

"When God says "no" it doesn't mean never, and when he says "wait" it doesn't mean no."

Boxes=fun. Always.

You don't have a soul, you are a soul. You have a body. - C.S Lewis

Smiling Down

Smiling Down
by Pillar

You make it so hard on yourself

But theres nobody else

That could ever understand

The feelings that you felt

I could hear you think about

All the time I was around

If you could only see me now

I'm right here looking down

~

So next time that you feel like crying

Next time you don't feel like trying

Just remember I'll be right there

Smiling down on you

In the morning you don't feel like rising

Next time you feel like compromising

Just remember I'll be right there

Smiling down on you

~

I know you won't forget

All the time we got to spend

Just because it's been a while

Doesn't mean that its the end

So right here and now

I'll swear you a vow

That I will always be with you

Whenever you feel down

Nothing ever will come between us

Now I'm holding on to the hand of Jesus

~

So next time that you feel like crying

Next time you don't feel like trying

Just remember I'll be right there

Smiling down on you

In the morning you don't feel like rising

Next time you feel like compromising

Just remember I'll be right there

Smiling down on you

~

I'll be right there looking down

Even when the shine don't shine

I'll be right there looking down

All along the winter night

I'll be right there looking down

With a smile on me face

I'll be right there with my arms open wide

Right here on Jesus' side

~

So next time that you feel like crying

Next time you don't feel like trying

Just remember I'll be right there

Smiling down on you

In the morning you don't feel like rising

Next time you feel like compromising

Just remember I'll be right there

Smiling down on you

~

So next time that you feel like crying

Next time you don't feel like trying

Just remember I'll be right there

In the morning you don't feel like rising

Smiling down on you

I'm Forgiven

I'm Forgiven

by Sanctus Real

~

Well the past is playing with my head

And failure knocks me down again

I’m reminded of the wrong

That I have said and done

And that devil just wont let me forget

~

In this life

I know what I’ve been

But here in your arms

I know what I am

~

I’m forgiven

I’m forgiven

And I don’t have to carry

The weight of who I’ve been

Cause I’m forgiven

~

My mistakes are running through my mind

And I’ll relive my days, in the middle of the night

When I struggle with my pain, wrestle with my pride

Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry

~

When I don't fit in and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere

When I don’t measure up to much in this life

Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ ‘cause

~

I’m forgiven

I’m forgiven

And I don’t have to carry

The weight of who I’ve been

Cause I’m forgiven

Winter Olympics 2010

Luke has really loved watching all the Olympics this winter. His favorite is bobsledding! But he has added a few Ice Dancing moves to his exercise/dancing-haha. He loved it and can't wait for the next Olympics (he doesn't understand why he has to!).
