The light of the world... (A worship post)

Create a playlist at MixPod.com

(Please don't steal pictures, these are mine and it's not nice)

Really think about these lyrics, think about them because, well, they're true...

Light of the world, you stepped down into darkness...  Opened my eyes, let me see...  Beauty that made this heart adore You...  Hope of a life spent with You...  Here I am to worship...  Here I am to bow down...
Here I am to say that You're my God...  You're altogether lovely...  All together worthy...  All together wonderful to me...

He is the Light.

So, how dare we not worship Him?  How dare we doubt Him?  How dare we live this life He has so graciously granted us, and not even thank Him for it?  How dare we...  disown our own Father?  -Unknown.                

"I am the Way, the Truth, AND THE LIGHT, no one can get to the Father, except through me..."






So, if we call ourselves Christians, God-followers, and then act like the rest, we are lying to ourselves and everyone around us...



*Edit:  I just realized that, while going through blog construction, my post thing has been messed up, and you can't see the captions. They are :                  He is the Light.                    So, how dare we not worship Him?  How dare we doubt Him?  How dare we live this life He has so graciously granted us, and not even thank Him for it?  How dare we...  disown our own Father?  -Unknown.                                                                      

I am the Way, the Truth, AND THE LIGHT, no one can get to the Father, except through me..."

Elegance...

I know, I know, I JUST posted but... I forgot something.  And you all love me too much to be mad... right?  :D  Anyways, over the next few days, I am having someone give me a new blog design (because we all know by now that I'm AWFUL at it).  I want something a little more... sophisticated... elegant... flowy... pretty...nice.  So, my blog will be under construction until then.  I may have a few different designers do it and then choose what I like best, so if you know of any good ones, drop me a comment!

Haven't done this in a while!

{one} have you ever seen a ghost?I've thought I have, but no, not for sure.
{two} when was the last time you dressed up for halloween?Last year ;D.
{three} what’s your favorite candy?Can I pick more than one?   *No!*  Ok, sorry, most definitely chocolate something!
{four} did you have a favorite costume growing up?Yes, a fairy!
{five} did you carve pumpkins this year?Yes ma'am (or is it sir?), I made one a cat and one a mean smiley face.
{six} what’s your favorite scary movie?Anything that can scare me...
{seven} haunted houses or corn mazes?Haunted houses!!!  I love being scared!!!
{eight} are you superstitious?Not really, maybe just a tiny bit.  God is in control.
{nine} have you ever owned a black cat?I don't think so.
{ten} what are you plans for this coming halloween?Trick-or-treating with friends!

Tag!

First of all, I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've had a lot going on and I will be posting alot now again.  And second, I got tagged by the extrordinary Bleah Briann!

1. Does having to play these Blogger games make you wanna punch someone in the face 'cause it postpones posting about your ever-so-melodramatic life? No, I love you, little tag, I would never hurt you!!!


2. What are your feelings on zombies? Hmmm, well, my feelings on zombies would have to be...  I don't like them, but I am writing a book with a zombie in it...

3. If you could visit any time period ever, what would it be, and who would you take with you (this person has to be real, and someone you actually know)? I would go back to the Victorian times so I could dress up, and ride in horsedrawn carriages to a boarding school in england, and I would take Katie :).

4. If I gave you Scotch tape, a sharpie, and some studded gloves, what would you do with 'em?  Um, I'm not quite sure...

5. Are you suspicious or sympathetic towards third wheels? Sympathetic, definitely.

6. Pretend you have a sandbox. But it's not filled with sand. Instead, what is it filled with? Tiny little diamonds that don't hurt your feet, but look very pretty.

7. Do you prefer stupid nonsensical questions, or deep metaphorical ones which make you ponder life, God, and the universe around us itself? I like a happy balance of both :D!

8. Tell me what your regular disposition on life is casually cool!


{one}-- do you consider yourself a good person? Why or why not...  A good person, yes, a perfect person... no.
{two}-- do you ever wish you lived someone elses life? Who's and why... Not really, I am happy in my own high heels  :D...
{three}-- if you had one thousand dollars, and you could only buy one thing, and you had to keep it forever and ever, what would it be?  Ummmm, a lifetime Picnik subscription???
{four}--If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life what would it be?  The way I am by Ingrid Michaelson.
{five}-- what is your favorite color pen?  PINK!!!
{six}-- If you died today what do you wish you would have done? Or are you happy with your life up do date? Yes!  I would wish I was a better, kinder person.
{seven}-- Pick the three people in your life you would be willing to live in the same house with for the rest of your life?  Sierra, Katie, (other) Katie.
{eight}-- if blogger ceased to exist today, how would that make you feel?  Like crying!!! :'(

Now for my questions...

What is your favorite junk food?

What is your favortie pastime, NOT BLOGGING?

If you bought a chamelion, what would you name it?

Will you marry me?  Right now?  :D  Teehee...

If you could change your name, what would it be?

How do you spell...  dinosaur?

If I bit you... what would you do (not that I would do that, of course)

Can I bite you???  Haha, I'm so bored!

A bunch of stuff!

Ok, so pretty much this post will be a lot of random stuff because I have done a lot these past weeks.

• I GOT CONTACTS!!! No more glasses for me!!!
• I went to the World Equestrian Games, and it was SOOOO much fun!
• I went to Keeneland and watched a few races, although none of the horses I bet on to win actually won (I only bet two dollars each)!
• I am happy right now!
• We recently had an AWESOME guest post by Bleah Briann (see below post)!

OK, now, no more bullet points.  I need your advice on something.  I am changing my blog background and stuff for Halloween.  I need you to vote on the poll on the sidebar ------>,

because we had a tie last time I had this poll up.  So, please, don't forget to vote so I can change up my design!  Please!

First EVER guest post by Bleah Briann!!!

So, this incredibly spectacular post is from Bleah Briann over at ~With Love and Kisses~.  Enjoy!

Sorry if this post isn't very good... I've been stuggeling with writers block.

 

Hello! My name is Bleah Briann and I would L-O-V-E to thank Courtney for letting me post. She's pretty amazing in case y'all didn't notice that already.

Well, I'll tell you a little bit about me. I reside at ~With Love and Kisses~ (www.blonde4christ.blogspot.com) where I write about pretty random stuff, if you ever wanted to stop by I have a seat waiting just for you!

I'm 15 years old, homeschooled, and Christian, I love to sing... dance... and just be a silly care free teenager in love with my Jesus. Anyone with me?

 

Today, I just wanted to express to you, express the undying feeling that overwhelmes me when I actually take the time to let it.

 

Alright... blogger challenge! So early in the game? LOL silly people, yes!

Clothes your eyes, and breath three times. Slowly. Let anything and everything come into your mind, and just... think about it.

Now open your eyes...

do you remember what you were thinking? I KNOW! I can't either. But yet... its exhilerating. Its like letting go.

I enjoy sitting in my room with music on and a book in my hand, melting into the book and the music and just letter all the stuff go.

 

The blood of Jesus is alot like that you know? If you just allow it to wash over you and sink into you it will wash away every fear, every doubt, every thought that you aren't good enough. Trust me, He did it for me, I'm sure he can do it for you. So take the time to think, and if you find yourself wanting to forget... take it to the cross. Because thats where it belongs.

 

Much Love, and many Blessings,

Bleah Briann

There's no music in a "rest", but there's the making of music in it. And people are always missing that part of the life melody, always talking of perserverance and courage and fortitude but patience is the finest and worthiest part of fortitude, and the rarest, too.
Ruskin

Let's have a round of applause please!!!  *Sound of audience cheering*  Well, there you have it!  Do I have anyone else who would like to post?

Thanks so much, my dear, darling Bleah!  I absolutely love this girl and she is so much fun and energetic and just pretty darn AWESOME!!!

Much <3333,

Courtney

Nanowrimo! Nanowrimo! NANOWRIMO!!!

Howl
I see the wolf from the window
Silhouetted against the moon
Howling, Howling, Howling.
It is so shrill, so loud, so piercing
I hope he’ll stop soon
I pull the covers over my ear to
block the howl But I can still hear it
Ringing in my ears
Howling, Howling, Howling.
