1 Month Ooops!

On Monday, I got a call from Tyler this isn't unusual we talk about everyday. This was an unusual phone call in that the first thing he asked me was "What's today's date?" Actually I had no idea what the date was because three-day weekends screw me up.
Side-note*We had Friday off!!!! Yay!*
I said "You know, I really don't know." He told me that today wsa the twenty-third. I felt REALLY stupid because I should have known this. A month ago on the twenty-third, Tyler and I became 'official'. I do happen to know that this happened @ almost exactly five o'clock because a clock chimed and startled me so yes, I do remember that night. I also know that next month this date happens to also be Tyler's birthday. I still feel bad about forgetting, but hey, I'll probably not forget again.

Casting Crowns

Why does Christ chose to know me? He chose to die for my sin that nailed him to the cross. This song appeals to life in more ways than one. There is a storm in all of us that causes doubts and worries. Our lives are so fragile, like a flower quickly fading or the vapor in the wind. This song makes me rely on God, and realize the state of my sin and my weakness.


Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt,
Who am I?
That the Bright and Morning Star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart,

Not because of who I am,
But because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who You are,

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean),
A vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am..
I am Yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love,
and watch me rise again,
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me,

Not because of who I am,
But because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who You are,

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean),
A vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
,And You've told me who I am...
I am Yours, I am Yours.

I am Yours,
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours,
I am Yours.

The First Song that I Sing

In the morning when I rise
Help me to prioritize
All the thoughts that fill my day
Before my schedule
Tells me that my day is full
Before I'm off and on my way

I want to praise you
I need to praise you
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and king
Before the curtains part
Before my day is starting
Before I make up the bed
Before the snooze alarm
Reminds me that it's morning
Before the dreams have left my head
I want to praise you
I need to praise you
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and king

(Praise the Lord, Praise Him - repeat)
Before my feet hit the floor
I'll praise you Lord, I'll praise you Lord
Before I fill my cup

I'll lift you up, I'll lift you up
Before I start my day
I'll sing your praise, I'll sing your praise
Before I start my car
Before I get too far
I want to praise you
I need to praise you Lord
Let the first song that I sing
Be praise to my God and king

(Praise the Lord, Praise Him)
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises (repeat)

(Praise the Lord, Praise Him)
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and king

(repeat)

Before my feet hit the floor
I am gonna praise you Lord
First song that I sing (repeat)
