how he loves...

How He Loves
David Crowder Band

He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me

And O how He loves us
Oh, O how He loves us
How He loves us all

Yeah He loves us
O how He loves us
O how He loves us
O how He loves

We are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
So Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way

That He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

We sang this song tonight at Breakaway, the youth worship service.  I've liked this song for a long time, but in light of some stuff that has happened over the last couple of days, it really hit home with me tonight...

oh how He loves me...
...to provide peace in the midst of the storm
...to provide good, solid relationships in the rocky times in life
...to provide reassurance that things will be okay when I'm not sure how things are going to turn out
...to provide a way for my sins to be forgiven so that I can spend eternity with Him

sweet sweet moments with Jesus tonight as these words and thoughts ran through my head and heart...while I may never be able to grasp the entirety of His great love for us, I am so thankful for the glimpses He shows me each day.

Things I'm Loving Thursday...

today i'm loving...

1. Cane's



sally introduced me to the awesomeness of Cane's when i was in waco for my birthday weekend and now it's one of my favorite places to eat!  :)  i had lunch there today with a friend...SO good!

2. Country Music


after a brief break from country music, i've started listening to it again...and i love it!!  :)  granted some of it is a little twangy and a little ridiculous, but overall, i'm so glad it's back in my life!

3. Sunshine!!!


today there was "abundant sunshine" in my neck of the woods and it was glorious!!!  :)  even if it was still freezing, at least the sun was out!  LOVE IT!

Monday's Music


this cd has been in my cd player for about 2 weeks now.  i. love. it.  it never gets old.  it's a great balance of "rock out" songs and worship music.  i've listen to natalie grant's music before, but this cd makes me an official "fan" i guess.  listen to it.

Psalm 30:11-12

Things I'm Loving Thursday...


 this thursday, i'm loving...

thumbtacks

yes, i know.  it's a simple thumbtack, but today it has been SO helpful as i've been hanging things up on my walls after living here for 5 months.  it's so much easier to use thumbtacks to temporarily hang things instead of driving 4200 nails into the wall while you figure out where you want everything.  now my living room actually has stuff on the walls...


this cd...


last week, i began listening to this CD because i liked matt maher's song "hold us together" so much...i LOVE this CD!  i would recommend it if you're looking for new music!

my dinner


yes, this was my dinner (it's all gone now!).  it was so delicious!  grilled chicken and squash grilled on my handy dandy George Foreman grill and a baked sweet potato.  yes, i actually ate on my placemat and used my real napkin.  if i waited for a "special" occasion or someone to come over to use my nice dishes, awesome placemats, and real napkins i would be waiting FOREVER.

so, there you have it...the things i'm loving today!  hope you're having a great thursday!
