I Live For Moments Like This

I gaze up at the moon 

My heart fills with awe 

My Daddy made that 

I live for moments like this 

I hold my best friend 

For the first time in years 

A laugh escapes me 

I live for moments like this 

I write a page 

Filled with my heart 

It fills me with peace 

I live for moments like this 

I let my hair fall in my face 

I grin behind its cover 

Feeling accepted and loved 

I live for moment like this 

I lay in the grass

Getting soaked to the bone 

The camera shutter clicking away 

I live for moments like this

I hold a babys finger

It smiles at me

We both laugh

I live for moments like this 

I dance down a sunshiny path 

Not caring what others think 

My feet bare and my hair wild 

I live for moment like this 

I read a passage in my Bible 

I blink at it a few times amazed

My Daddy wrote this for me 

I live for moments like this 

I laugh so hard my stomach aches 

But I couldn’t care less about the pain 

Joy spilling over in my heart 

I live for moments like this 

But sometimes there are those days 

Where no moments like that come 

And I begin to wonder 

What am I living for today? 

Tears course down my cheeks 

I think I’ll give up this time

But a voice inside says 

I live for moments like this

I feel like I’m about to drop 

But there is still lots to do 

I wish someone else would do it 

I live for moments like this

I feel the anger boiling

I ball my fists at my side

Trying now to let it out

I live for moments like this

I dunk a washcloth water again and again

A feverish sibling is leaning against me 

There are so many things I could be doing 

I live for moments like this 

I can barely hold my eyes open 

But I keep on texting 

As the heartbroken friend talks 

I live for moments like this

I hold a screaming child on my shoulders

Another wails in my lap

I’m about ready to scream myself

I live for moments like this

I shove the bike peddle down 

My legs about giving out 

No strength is left in me 

I live for moments like this

I listen as she talks away

About so many hard things 

I wish I didn’t have to listen 

I live for moments like this

I search desperately for an answer 

It seems so far out of my reach 

Tears spill on my Bible 

I live for moments like this

I’ve begun to realize 

That I don’t just live 

For the good moments in life 

I live for the bad as well 

Because God is using everything 

For my greater good 

So no matter what is going on  

I live for moments like this

You live for moments like this

Cakey and a New Mug

Well guys, I've got like nothing to report. Life is getting into a pretty good rhythm of complete spontaneity. Meaning I have no idea what is going to happen next. ;D This last week has involved an awful lot of babysitting. Rebekkah tried to get the oldest, a twenty month year to say my name and it came out as Cakey. I told her I'd rather remain nameless then go by Cakey. ;) But then again it might not be to bad to go by a name related to surgery sweet stuff. What do you think?

In random events I got myself a mug that looks like a camera lens. It is super awesome. I've got one problem though, all my friends keep going "Oh, you got a new camera lens!" Yeah, kinda not. I was twirling it and someone started freaking out because I was mishandling a lens. Its been really funny actually.

So guys, I need inspiration desperately, what is going on in your week? Share your funniest event, please! 

December Highlights

Hello everyone! Sorry this post is so late, but better late then never, right? Here ya go: 

I actually got my Christmas presents sent out early. Yes, this made my highlights because that's the first time I've ever done that. ;)

I got to play an angel in our local live nativity. More story's from that here.

This was the program for his event that I kept notes on. =)

I got to play official photographer at one of my brothers honor society meetings. Mostly what this involved was eating a lot of snacks and playing on WiFi. The other little part involved photos of a lot of random stuff and getting to stand up when everyone had to sit down. It was awesome.

This is a sad highlight. I discovered I cannot drink milk. I can still have some milk products, thankfully. Though, I'd much rather give up milk then keep throwing up, so it worth it. Its just sad while I'm at it. 

My brother graduated collage! I kept teasing him for this past four years that I was in collage to because he would tell me all this stuff he was learning, and stuff. So we teased that I'm now out of collage. Seriously though, I'm so happy. Now we have a nurse in the family! 

I spent the day in San Antonio with some friends and my family. That was super awesome. We got to eat the most awesome TexMex, visit some old Spanish missions, and walk a crazy long way on the river walk. I posted pictures from that here.

I watched a Star Trek that was so funny I was doubled over in laughter. Yeah, small things in life, but I love moments like that.

My sister and I tried to make a conversation out of the hot sauce packets. ;D

My family had an awesome Christmas party, had an amazing Christmas and an amazing shopping trip. I'm just lumping these together since they're all Christmas stuff. We have a Christmas party every year, and this one went really well. So did our Christmas. Of coarse no day every goes precisely as planned, but it was awesome none the less. I ended up singing so much at church that I could only barely wispier for about thirty minutes afterwards. And the day after Christmas the girls in my family always go shopping and this year was awesome. I got to hang out with my family, get a lot of fun stuff.

Encouragement From Job

I've been reading in Job this month and wow is it good. I've never got this much out of the book before. So here are some of my favorite verses so far. I'll be back with part two in awhile. =)

1:21

The Lord gave me what I had, and the Lord has taken it away. Praise the name of the Lord! 

5:17-18

But consider the joy of those corrected by God! Do not despise the discipline of the Almighty when you sin. For though he wounds, he also bandages. He strikes, but his hands also heal. 

12:13

But true wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are his. 

22:21

Submit to God, and you will have peace; 

22:26-30

Then you will take delight in the Almighty and look up to God. You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows to him. You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on the road ahead of you. If people are in trouble and you say, ‘Help them,’ God will save them. Even sinners will be rescued; they will be rescued because your hands are pure.”

23:14 

So he will do to me whatever he has planned. He controls my destiny. 

A Cold and San Antonio

The rest of these photos are from San Antonio.

This is mission Conception.

Isn't this hotel beautiful?!

Hello! I know I have not done my monthly highlights yet, but I got distracted, and now I'm sick, so it will probably be next Monday before I get around to it. To be honest this week has been full of lots of random things. I mainly am just stopping by to share these photos before I get back to sitting on the couch, nursing my cold. ;P 

But I want to hear about your week, how was it?
