im so forgetful, but you always remind me
youre the only one who brings me peace
youre the only one who brings me peace
x2
so i come, lord i come, i come, lord i come
to tell you i love you
to tell you i need you
to tell you theres no better place for me than in your arms
to tell you im sorry for running in circles
for placing my focus on the ways and not your face
youre the only one who brings me peace
youre the only one who brings me peace
I really never reblog typical tumblr stuff but last night’s Parks and Rec episode was so good and hilarious. This is probably one of my favorite scenes of the show :)

Thought #1: Wasting so much time watching Clara C videos.
Thought #2: Wait, there’s no such thing as wasting time with Clara C. Haha silly me.
Who is moving on the waters
Who is holding up the moon
Who is peeling back the darkness
With the burning light of noon
Who is standing on the mountains
Who is on the earth below
Who is bigger than the heavens and the lover of my soul (Chorus)
Creator God, He is Yahweh
The Great I Am, He is Yahweh
The Lord of All, He is Yahweh
Rose of Sharon, He is Yahweh
The Righteous Son, He is Yahweh
The Three-in-one, He is Yahweh
Who is He that makes me happy
Who is He that gives me peace
Who is He that brings me comfort
And turns the bitter into sweet
Who is stirring up my passion
Who is rising up in me
Who is filling up my hunger, with everything I need.
You are holy and eternal
And forever You will reign
Every knee will bow before You
Every tongue will confess Your name
All the angels give You glory
As they stand before Your throne
and here on Earth we gather
To declare Your name alone.
Right now I am waiting for snow. Yes, snow! :DD
Apparently, Seattle is supposed to be experiencing their “biggest” snowstorm in decades. There is no snow outside my window though :(
Snow=No School=Fun
I’m listening/watching the IHOP Prayer Room and to my surprise Lou Engle was praying/preaching/interceeding. Their intercessions are pretty intense. Right now their praying and waiting for the Lord to bring revival in the country.
God has been teaching me a lot about waiting. The interesting thing about waiting on the Lord is that it is not passive. It’s not passive and I’ve been trying to wrap my head around that. Waiting in his secret place.
Psalm 139:15
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Awhile ago, SJCAC held a conference and we had a speaker called Shampa Rice. Haha I still remember us called her “Shrimp And Rice”. All in good fun of course. One story she shared will always stick with me. She was young and on a field trip to some garden. The class was walking around and looking at the beautiful flowers. She was walking until one specific flower stopped her. It was the most beautiful flower she has ever seen. The colors, the petals, everything was the most amazing thing she’s ever seen. She asked God, “Why and how can this be so beautiful?” Then God told Shampa because it remained in the Maker’s hand. When I heard her share the story I imagined a flower in God’s hand. He’s got this sort of needle thing in which he is forming and perfecting this beautiful, beautiful flower.
That’s what its like waiting on the Lord. I’m still wrapping my mind around it.
Although snow would be nice right now though :)
I love that smile when people are in worship and singing that one song, that one line 100th time but it gets them. And in that moment, they know that that line, those words are true. That whatever and whoever God is and what He’s about is real and authentic. That He understands and as they sing and declare it they begin to understand and believe that He does.
I love music. Gosh and I am completely in love with the fact that God knows that. That He created me to love the things he loves too. I share that with God you know that? I love that whenever great worship music comes on, where the worshippers and worship leaders are all united in just singing love songs to Jesus, that I love it. I love it because its beautiful and it reflects only just a fraction of how beautiful our God that we are worshipping is.
But ultimately I love how he knows me and everything about me. Psalm 139 is a BOMB passage. It’s long but here are some golden nuggets I love.
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b]
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
But it does remind me of the promise I made, to trust God with my life and love him forever.
And in the end, that does make everything better.
