Life

It's been a long time since I've posted! School has kept me quite busy the past few weeks, and it's just been a rather stressful time. However, I wanted to let you know that I am in fact still here, and I have not dropped off the face of the earth!

I'm so happy to be approaching the end of the third 9 weeks of school; only about 11 more weeks of school to go until summer, and twenty days until Spring Break! How nice. :)

how He loves......

We've been doing this song at church and at school quite a bit, and it's definitely become one of my favorites. He truly does loves us greatly!
How He Loves
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 realise just how beautiful you are,
And how great your affections are for me.
And oh, how he loves us so,
Oh how he loves us,
How he loves us all.

Yeah, he loves us,
Whoa! how he loves us,
Whoa! how he loves us,
Whoa! how he loves.
Yeah, he loves us,
Whoa! how he loves us,
Whoa! how he loves us,
Whoa! 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 a sloppy wet 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:
He loves us,
Whoa! how he loves us,
Whoa! how he loves us,
Oh how he loves.
Yeah, he loves us,
Whoa! how he loves us,
Whoa! how he loves us,
Whoa! how he loves.
