Milestone Song

I love music. Finding that song that perfectly encapsulates everything you're feeling has got to be one of the best experiences.  It's like the essence of the song fuses in with your soul and things just seem right.

One of my favorite hobbies is to make playlists every season.  This started back in high school in my more emo days.  Oftentimes there would be a song that would stand apart from the rest of the list (usually because it resonated with my feelings of unrequited love).  To this day whenever I hear one of those "milestone songs", I get a rush of memories from that time of my life.  If you know me well, my memory sucks, so the fact that music helps me remember things makes it all the more important to me. 

This year, I've had the privilege of being on band (playing drums!).  Part of that responsibility is to try to find songs that we think would be appropriate for where our church is at.  Unfortunately, I'm still 0-4 in song suggestions making it into the band song list, but one of the new songs we're learning this semester really stands out to me.  It's still early, but I have a strong feeling that it will be one of those "milestone songs" for this semester.  The song lays out so simply God's power and majesty and the lyrics yearn for things that we are so desperate to see happen in our church. 

Every time I listen to this song, I am filled with excitement and wonder at what God has in store for us this year.  How awesome will it be to look back on this semester and hear all the stories of lives God has touched?

Silly Aussie's and their crazy spelling... hahha

Stupid spelling aside, this baby girl is freakin cute.  Reminds me of Addie.

Fun with pepper!

I mentioned last week that Jerry came to accept Christ. Well, this past Saturday some people were able to officially celebrate his spiritual birthday by going out to a buffet. Even though we couldn't eat meat, the place actually had an amazing selection of vegetarian options. Most of us ended up stocking up on tempuras and grilled veggies (amazing by the way) and all kinds of salads.

As we were closing out the meal, we were mentioning possible games, and Karen suggested we see who gets the worst fortune from their fortune cookie, loser has to snort pepper. After everyone picked their cookie, we all read the fortune silently and I collected them and mixed it up in my hand. We chose Yeoh to be the impartial judge because we felt he would be the most honest.

After reading through them all, Yeoh came up with his verdict. Check out the results below or click here.

Peekaboo!

I think I'm losing my touch a bit. Only KOk got scared this time. =(
