Bigger Than Love by: My Favorite Highway

We've all got scars as big as ours

A token for the pain we hide inside of us

Everyone's scared that somebody knows

You push it aside, yeah that's how it goes

If you've ever heard a beating heart

A rhythm for the songs we're too afraid to sing

Nobody here is perfectly fine

A delicate frame, a fragile design

If there's a hole in your heart

You gotta pull it together

It takes the courage to start

But now is better than never

It takes a push and a shove

Somehow it's never enough

And its alarming how quickly we forget that

Nothing's bigger than love

Nothing's bigger than love

Nothing's bigger than love

All you need, all you need, all you need is love

Some people change and some just won't

You can't take back the words you wish you'd never said

Promises break and lovers will lie

You hold up your hands and let out a sigh

So smile right before you fall

And lay beside this mess and call it consequence

Somebody said that life isn't fair

When somebody else was saying a prayer

'Cause no-one's taking me out

And nothing's pulling me down

I turn my head to the crowd

This love is big and it's loud

This is a car in the crash

This is the light in the flash

This is the answers you know

But you're just too scared to ask

If there's a hole in your heart

You gotta pull it together

It takes the courage to start

But now is better than never

It takes a push and a shove

Somehow it's never enough

Somehow it's never enough

An AMAZING Quote!

I love this...and I wish I knew who said it, but this quote is just amazing so I am sharing it.

''Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, ''who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?'' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing a small part does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.''

A little Annoyed...

So my dad was out shoveling our driveway this morning and came inside and asked me if I got into some sort of an accident in my car last night. I said, "no, why?" He said it looks like someone must've hit it...obviously it was while I was at work. I didn't notice when I had come out of work to go home. So, it all made sense...last night when I came out to my car it was backed up in the parking stall a little, but I just thought maybe I didn't pull up far enough. So I didn't think much of it. Then I was making a left hand turn and my left blinker was wiggin out and going really fast! But again...i thought it was just freaking out because it was cold outside. Mind you, it was around 1am at this time, I was tired. So yeah...no note was left and no one had come inside to say they hit someones car....and our parking lot was NOT icey, so someone obviously tried to go around my car, and didn't quite make it...and this was not just a scratch, they hit it hard enough to move my car back noticeably far. Needless to say....I am annoyed!!!!! Because now I have to pay to fix it, unless the cameras from our parking lot can catch the car who did it. Hopefully that works out.

What to do when you're not sure what to do

Oh my! Life is crazy! You really never know what it will bring and what it will take. These past few months have been pretty, well.....let's just say I have grown up tons!! Sometimes when you're going through something it's easy to just give up and think oh well, who cares, I'm just being punished...etc. But really, if you think about it, trials only bring you closer to Heavenly Father and help youovercome weaknesses you may have. Hope. That is the key. As long as you have hope, you will never need worry that life will ever give you something you can't handle. It's all in how you perceive what you're going through....The Lord wants you to be happy! But sometimes you have to be sad to get to the happy! I'm going through something right now that is so unbelievably confusing. But I know that as long as I hope for the best, it is yet to come! I am so grateful for the friends that I have that are there to lift me up when I am at my lowest. Things will get better. :)

Last night we had a dance performance at Festival of Trees up at the Southtowne Expo center...these are just some of the cute pictures I took with my nephews!

Alright so...I'm not sure about this whole blogging thing...yes, I know I'm not married...and if that day ever comes, I will get a new one, but until then we will see how it goes! haha
