"So take me where You want me."

"Take me 'cause I wanna be Yours."

Music recommendations...
1. Mainstay, Become Who You Are
2. Dizmas, Dizmas
3. The Myriad, With Arrows, With Poise

The opening quote(s) come from the song "Yours" off of the Dizmas album. Do yourself a honkin' favor and go listen to this song. I will post the entire lyrics to the song and the title track from the Mainstay album as well. So, so good. You need to hear both. The Myriad cd, just go buy it. Don't preview listen to it and then make your decision to get it. Just get it. So good. Mine came in the mail the day after it was released (I pre-ordered it at their concert back in April when they came with EISLEY). So good.

Prayer recommendations...
What? That sure is an odd way to phrase that. I like it.

I is in need of prayer (who isn't?!). I keep pushing aside the chances and opportunities to grow close to God. I can hear Him calling to me. I can feel Him taking my hand and lacing his fingers through mine and trying to pull me back into his arms. But I keep turning my attention to other things. I am completely aware of all this and aware of my responses, and I am absolutely not liking it.

So, yeah. I could use some prayer about that. I need some strength, some self-discipline, some a lot of things. Thanks.

Whatever else that aren't really recommendations...
I am doing some serious purge, Spring Cleaning in my room. Boy, does it ever need it.

I am a serious pack-rat, and this is because of genetics. My dad is like this and even my mom, but not as bad as my dad. Okay, that's a lie. She is. She just doesn't want to own up to that. But as I sit here and think about it, she is. My grandmother (Dad's mom) is like this. I'm sure my mom's mom and/or dad were the same. So, there are no telling how many generations of Branyons, Murdochs, Bowens, Williams, and so forth there are that were pack-rats. *Side note to my future children: You are all hopeless cases. Sorry. You got some bad habit genetics.

I have decided to take all those episodes of organization and cleaning and etc. from watching TLC programs and clean my room. Properly. *Revised  side not to my future children: I am stopping the cycle here. We shall concur this!

Song lyrics that I almost forgot to post...
"Yours"
by Dizmas

Feels like the sky has never been so blue
But that's not the way it used to be
'Cause there was a time that I was without You
Before I said that I believe
Oh, I need a Savior
Oh, I need a Savior

I want to give this up
I want to hold Your hand
Take away this fear that's like an ocean in my head
I want to tell You now
What I couldn't say before
You are my everything that I was always looking for
So take me where You want me
Take me 'cause I wanna be yours

I've got pride that I still have to break
It's keeping me away from You
But You stay patient while I make mistakes
I'm learning how to trust that You
Are always a Savior
Oh...
(repeat chorus)

In the good and the bad times
Oh, it don't really matter
I want to know You


"Become Who You Are"
by Mainstay

So it seems that I'm wrong,
cuz you said that I would never want for anything again
But my eyes are set low
and I'm holding to things I know I can't keep

I keep on chasing the wrong things
and coming up empty
This isn't who I'm supposed to be
I keep on learning the hard way from every mistake
And I'm finding each time you fall,
you're just becoming who you are

So it seems that I'm wrong,
cuz I keep on searching for the answers that I don't need
I know I don't need

(repeat chorus)

Okay. Enough stalling. I am going back to cleaning.

Peace out.

The End.

What's weird is that I have been doing the same cleaning thing. But I've been doing it very slowly. I just can't keep up the motivation for very long! And my mom is one major pack rat too. I feel your pain...

oh and I can't believe that David Cook actually won. I'm still freaking out!
