Cracking the DaVinci Code

So I am heading out for Paris in less than 12 hours. At first, I was not totally excited about going anymore. I didn't want to spend any more money, and I was afraid I was going to get bored. But now I am really looking forward to it. I am excited to be able to try to spend some down time in a beautiful city relaxing and reflecting on the things that have been going on in my life and heart in the last few weeks/month...And if I get time, I may even try to really solve this whole DaVinci code thingy. Maybe! ;-)

CORRECTION....To my faithful readers!

It seems, my previous post has instilled a bit of anger and hostility in some of you. I had no intentions, believe me :-) SO....to my all my faithful readers...thank you for checking in on me. It truly means a lot. Love ya! By the way, if you have a blog that I know about, I am probably a faithful reader of yours. :-)

To my faithful reader!

Hi Jeremy...just wanted something new for you when you check this. Haha!

Revelations on a Tram

I was sitting on a tram today, listening to my ipod and when this song came on, it moved me to tears because it really hits home with a lot of things that I have been struggling with over the past few weeks. It made me really look at myself and decisions I have made and what the intentions behind them were. Were my motives to cover myself in "make-up" to please others, or to please God and rest in His glory? Please pray for me as I am trying to sort out a lot decisions and directions in my life over the next few weeks. That I would trust in the wisdom of the LORD.

"Beautiful" by Bethany Dillon

I was so unique
Now I feel skin deep
I count on the make-up to cover it all
Crying myself to sleep cause I cannot keep their attention
I thought I could be strong
But it's killing me

Does someone hear my cry?
I'm dying for new life

I want to be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart,
and be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful

Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me
Fighting to make the mirror happy
Trying to find whatever is missing
Won't you help me back to glory

You make me beautiful
You make me stand in awe
You step inside my heart, and I am amazed
I love to hear You say
Who I am is quite enough
You make me worthy of love and beautiful
