Sing unto the Lord a new song!

These excerpts are from songs performed and written by the band Wavorly. These songs (in my opinion) have very powerful messages and when I listen to them I am "pumped up" you could say, but in a spiritual way.

Their use of interesting metaphors catch your attention and have very biblical and strong messages. I would suggest this band to everyone!! :D

Oh, Father, my task I may dread
But as ransom, take me instead
Take heart now, my Son
Fear not for the dragon will not overcome
Your words may have swayed her before
But I died so she could have more
The Life that she now finds in Me
Is the tale of the dragon’s defeat 

-Tale of the dragon's defeat 

Sleeper, no deeper
Lift your eyes
Awake from dreaming
Sleeper, arise and you will find life
The answer is in Me

Sleeper, arise and you will find life
You will find life when you give your life away 

-Sleeper

Endless Day, no further away
Where present day will never end
I will run with no pain in my side
All shadows left behind
For what it’s worth
In a space so different
The gray of home could never compare
Undeserving rescue
Offers me escape from despair
Where light comes from another source
And choice spans such a Great Divorce
Is the balance shifting?
Are my burdens lifting?
Spirit coming to Life
Watching, Waiting
Further up, and further in 

-Endless Day

As I travel down this road
I wonder if I should turn home
All this time I’ve felt alone
My head in my hands
Where were You when I was in need?
And I look back to find You chasing me
Sometimes I try and I miss the point of it
It’s about time we die…we’re not down here for us
As You’re tearing down this house
There is only one thing I can say
I’m so glad You take away
And I’ll admit things worked out for the good
And it’s about time I understood 

-Time I understood

Whachu talkin 'bout Willis??

On Monday April 5th 2010, the McGuire family added one more to the mix.

An 8 lbs 8month old baby boy named willis!

He is my new puppy!

He is a schnoodle (scnauser poodle mix!)

hes ADORABLE!

except taking care of a puppy is basically the same as taking care of a child.

its going to be an interesting ride....but im SO looking forward to it! 

:D

Operation de-junk!

This process has been taking place for many months.

Recently it has consisted of the removal of Facebook!

I can honestly say that, it has been absolutely wonderful.

I have more time for other things.

I don't have to pay attention to other peoples drama.

In today's society, we all feel like it is necessary to know everything about one another in order to hold a friendship.

When we were all kids, we appreciated everything so much more because there were things we didn't know! Things we didn't need to know.

I'm so glad i got rid of my facebook. It has brought nothing but good to me.

I don't need to know so much about everyone to feel close.

And frankly, I don't think people need to know that much about me!

Anyone reading this and feeling even the slightest bit of agreement, I assure you, deleting your facebook will not make your world collapse. The people who truly matter to you, will keep in contact whether you have it or not.

We managed it for 15 years of our lives. What makes it so different now?

The more that delete, the easier it will seem. It makes it easier if you get a friend to do it with you!

Something shouldn't be considered the primary source of connection. We have simply become too dependant on electronic communication.

It's like that song..."going back to the basics of life"

:]

If God before me, none can be against me.

When will doubt disappear?

When will fear be defeated?

When will I realize that I have already won?

You can't deceive me anymore.

You can't control me without even lifting a finger.

My expectations are met, and you can try as hard as you want, but what is mine, will stay mine.

So go ahead. 

Give me your best shot, your hardest attempt to take from me what is mine and wants to stay mine.

But you will fail. 

Every time.

Dividers of the people will be companion-less.

The evils of separation will not stand.

Because we are united, and strong against the enemy.

So this is for you, whose identity is known by all.

You are defeated before you even plan to attack.

You will be stomped under my feet. 

Deep down back to where you will remain for eternity.

To who?

To you: 

-my earthly confidant.

-who keeps a smile on my face.

-who helps me in my time of need.

-who deals with everything I am.

-the balance of my nonsense.

-the one who always laughs at my jokes.

-the one who's jokes I always laugh at.

-the relief of my eyes.

-the relief of my ears.

-the softness I can approach with anything.

-the trust I can confide in.

-the one who has been there forever.
-the one I love dearly.

This goes out to you. The only you.

-my best friend. 

13 years and it's only gotten better.

And better is still yet to come.

Walk with diligence: Pride aside.

Each of us on this Earth have paths to take.

There is the path of salvation, yet within that supreme path, there are other paths.

Paths for this carnal life. Paths to keep us in our bodies healthy, and happy.

There are many pathmakers.

The most important: God.

And the rest, whether they may be preachers, doctors, educators, or parents.

In this life, at different points, someone may create a personal path for you to achieve, health, knowledge, or a better self.

These people create your path with specialized expertise, and in the mindset of your interest.

To achieve your specific goal, you must follow that path, step by step, all the way to the end.

This is the ideal path.

But there is always that other path, that you create yourself, thinking you know best, and expecting the same results at the end.

This, my friends, is what we call, learning the hard way.

You can't stray from the path and only come back for the stops.

And you can't deviate only a little, because, you may eventually reach the end of that path, but the pathmaker in your situation will know what you have done.

Do not stray from your path! You may not like it, and it may put a slight inconvenience on your life, but the end result will be worth it.

If you do stray from your path (and in most cases, this act of straying is completely intentional, due to self pride) do not feel you have the liberty to blame your pathmaker and their creation because their promises did not follow through. Or feel you have the liberty to complain about the hardships you face because of your deviation.

Do not put the hardships of your path onto other people. They have their own path, and you may not know what they are going through. Deal with your path, on your own, it was designed that way.

You may be promised great things, or even just progress, at a certain time, but if you have deviated from your path, you will most certainly not see that progress at the alotted time.

Promises take 2 people.

The promise maker may make a judgment based on facts and give you an ultimatum saying you will see results if and only if you follow their instruction. If you do not, the pathmaker is not to blame.

You are!

Bottom line. 

Stick to your own path, and be diligent, because that is the ONLY

way to achieve success.
