DIRECTIONS:
1. Go to your playlist.
2. Hit shuffle.
3. Choose the first fifteen songs - YOU CANNOT SKIP ONE. If it's embarrassing you just have to live with it.
4. With those fifteen songs you must post your favorite lyric from each of the songs.
5. See if anybody can guess what songs they are from. If they are guessed you can cross them out. Try to get rid of all of them.
Don't look them up! Honesty is the best policy!
1. Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let earth recieve her king!
2. Jubilation, she loves me again. I fall on the floor and I'm laughing. Jubilation, she loves me again, I fall on the floor and I'm laughing.
3. I've tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream. Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme.
4. "You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion, but are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?"
5. Now I know you think I must be faking. I promised all these things right from the start, so don't you rush into decision making (rush, rush) 'cause I just wrote this song to tell you my heart; I wanna be with you.
6. Run a silent path to nowhere, everything is all. You could have a pleasant life if Summer had no Fall. Treat yourself so gently though the task is often hard. Man is not a God it seems, who holds the final card
7. ...And this week the trend was to borrow all the strength that you could lend to keep my head above the water and not descend back to where I said I'd never go again.
8. All my instincts, they return and the grand facade, so soon will burn without a noise, without my pride. I reach out from the inside. In your eyes. The light the heat. In your eyes. I am complete in your eyes.
9. Too late to come off shy now, you've already gone this far. So baby make your move, take charge, show me what you got for me.
10. I don't recall a single care, just greenery and humid air. Then labor day came and went, and we shed what was left of our summer skin.
11. My God my tourniquet, return to me salvation!
12. So now it's time to leave and make it alone. I know that I can't take no more, It ain't no lie :I wanna see you out that door. Baby, bye, bye, bye...
13. I know what you want. I wanna take you a midnight show tonight. If you can keep a secret: I got a blanket in the back seat on my mind, and a little place that sits beneath the sky...
and also:
14. (no one will know this one 'cause it's mine hehe.) The language was thick in the words of the vows that we never said. I gave my life to you though I knew that we both were dead.
15. I once knew a girl, in the years of my youth, with eyes like the summer; all beauty and truth. In the morning I fled, left a note and it read: "Someday you will be loved."
Any guesses?

Star
You're out there somewhere; a single star in the vast heavens.
Here I stand on the earth, so small and insignificant
my mind, limited by reason, searching for tangible answers
how far away? how brilliant? how real are you?
yet I have reached the boundaries of my understanding and have no answers.
I see you every night when the clouds have past and the moon is dim.
And still I do not trust my eyes.
Still, I do not trust your promises.
How can I accept what I cannot control?
You are beyond me- what I cannot trust.
what I cannot know.
what I cannot comprehend.
And so...
I stand on the earth, so small and insignificant
my mind, limited by reason, searching for tangible answers.
I have no answers.
Only brokenness that is un-done by an invisible, mysterious love.
Hey kids,
Sorry its been so long since i've actually posted something of substance. I'm one of the laziest people I know at times.. In fact, the only reason i'm writing this is because I was supposed to go to the art museum with friends to see a really cool exhibit, but I have a fever of 103 and i'm not sure i'd stay conscious... So! There is a positive side to this sickness, and that is that it gives me an excuse to blog!
How was everyone's Valentine's Day/Single's Awareness Day? I recieved a lot of gifts from people on this oh-so-commercial holiday. My mommie sent me an entire cake... Yes, a cake. Who knew that was possible? In any case, it was a nice surprise, and serves to show that mothers really may possess super powers.
From Will (and yes, he is home now!) I recieved an Omaha Steaks box and momentarily wondered if he had taken my comments about Calvin food service never serving red-meat to heart. Being the clever boy he is, the words "no, it isn't steak" were written across the top in bold letters. hehe. Will sent me a bunch of chocolate and a cd. On the cd, was a recording of him on trumpet playing "fever" which is the song that he asked me to dance to the first time we officially met. hehe. Oh what a wonderful day that was... At first I really thought the recording was a professional recording. Only after listening to it once through did I realize that he was the trumpet player.... I couldn't have asked for a more perfect gift. In 4 days we will have been dating for 6 months! hehe. This may have been the happiest 6 months of my life. =D. Alright alright, i'm done gushing. I don't want to make anyone hurl. hehe. Basically what i'm saying is "Valentines Day was good"...
In other news, i'm applying for an apprenticeship next semester. If I get the job i'll be a worship apprentice, meaning that i'll be on a team of 9 or 10 that plans campus chapel services and leads worship. At first I was reluctant to apply, but I feel like God may be calling me to this kind of work. One of the girls on my floor is one of the current apprentices and as I was filling out the application she walked in and asked me if i'd be interested in applying. hehe. Who knows, maybe its a sign. I'll just have to find out. I'll talk more about it if I am selected, but your prayers are much appreicated (for God to do with me what He wants, and to lead me in whatever direction that is).
I have to defeat this sickness by tomorrow night because I have tickets to the Sigur Ros concert!!! My heart will be shattered if I don't get to go to that concert 'cause they are an amazing group. If cherubim and seraphim sing at the throne of God then i'm sure they sound something like Sigur Ros. If you haven't heard of them, go buy their CD "Takk" and make sure you play it on the best stereo system available... with the lights off. If you don't have a good stereo, then you won't be able to appreciate the full sound. The group is from Iceland, and so none of their lyrics are in english.. which I think adds to the angelic quality of their music. They are the only group that I can sleep to.
Well, I love you all very much, and I promise to blog more often from now on... hopefully. hehe. In any case, take care!
God Bless,
Laura
