Payphone

Another great song…it’s been catching my attention more and more over the past few weeks. In fact, I ended up purchasing it on my phone and cannot stop listening to it! I feel like there are so many different things you could take away from this song, so rather than me sit here and write about what it means to me, I want you to think about what it means to you. Think about it, and post here should you feel lead.

I do not think it is too late to make it…it is not too late to try, but do not let the bridge burn down.

Happy ever after can still exist..the fairy tale is not gone just yet…it is still there.

Eyes Open

It’s just so good!

If you know me at all, you know I’m a Taylor Swift fan and have been for years! So..enjoy!

Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes open
Keep your aim locked
The night goes dark
Keep your eyes open

Ask Siri…

So recently my good friend John and I were driving around, just having a good time. For some entertainment, we turned to his IPhone 4s and started asking Siri a bunch of random questions…both fun and serious. We got a bunch of answers back and it was fun laughing over some. Then we posed the following question, expecting something funny in return. Well, the answer surprised us, and caused us to reflect for a moment…Take a look:

Too true, Siri, too true…What a great reminder of how we should be living our lives. No matter what religion, if any, you choose to follow, I think this hits home for everyone. It really puts life in perspective for each of us and reminds us what is important in life.

Take a moment, think about this particular answer to the meaning of life and how you can apply it to your life.

And yes, I totally just make a post about an answer Siri gave…aw yeah!

Forgiven

Take a moment and reflect on yourself…

Think about what you are facing,

What you have dealt with,

 And the future still to come…

No matter what it may be:

YOU ARE FORGIVEN!

I feel as though I truly connect with the lyrics of this song. Sometimes my past plays with my head, failure knocks me down, and I just cannot forget the wrong I have done and said. Memories, thoughts and emotions come surging back, and I too struggle with my pain and seem to wrestle with pride.

But when I do not fit in, and I feel like I do not belong anywhere, I am reminded that I, just like you, am a treasure in the arms of Christ and have been forgiven!

Christ has taken the weight of who I have been, I no longer have to carry the burden because I have been set free through His forgiveness and love…and if that is not news worth celebrating, then I do not know what is!

Tell The World That…

Don’t want to stand here and shout Your praise
And walk away and forget Your Name
I’ll stand for you if it’s all I do
Cause there is none that compare to You

Cause all I want in this lifetime is You
And all I want in this whole world is You

Tell the world that Jesus lives
Tell the world that, tell the world that
Tell the world that He died for them
Tell the world that He lives again

No longer I but Christ in me
Cause it’s the truth that set me free
How could this world be a better place?
But by thy mercy and by thy grace

Cause all I want in this lifetime is You!
And all I want in this whole world is You!

Tell the world that Jesus lives
Tell the world that, tell the world that
Tell the world that He died for them
Tell the world that He lives again

 

C’mon, c’mon we’ll tell the world about You
C’mon, c’mon we’ll tell the world about You

Tell the world that Jesus lives
Tell the world that, tell the world that
Tell the world that He died for them
Tell the world that He lives again

C’mon, c’mon we’ll tell the world about You
Tell the world that
Tell the world that

C’mon, c’mon we’ll tell the world about You
Tell the world that
Tell the world that

About You!

Young

So I just heard this song like 20 minutes ago during the closing credits to a movie (the new Three Musketeers movie) and just thought it was great! So just check it out and see what you think…and remember back when you were young compared to where you are today…are you where you want to be?

Wasn’t life so much more simple and easy when you were younger? What happened to some of those moments? I think we could all use a reminder of the old days and maybe bring some of it back…

And when you look at yourself tonight, are you someone you recognize? 

Who Do You Want To Be?

Check out the comparison below…it is so true! The best people I have worked for definitely fall more in to the second column then the first. The posses traits and qualities that I too hope to emulate. Which are you and who do you want to be?
