VOICE OF TRUTH

so i heard this song about a month ago and i really liked it, but had no idea of where it came from, etc, and then tonight discovered it on a cd of "casting crowns" that i've somehow "inherited" from somewhere. the lyrics are really powerful (as is the tune, which if i was more technilogically advanced, i'd put up here.)
It really speaks volumes to me, cos (i'll admit it here) i'm terrified to head off to keats. Its like starting ALL over again the way i did 5 years ago. i know that sounds babyish, since everybody has to start new things but i'm pretty scared. I know it will be good and i know that its in his hands, but...


so without any further ado, here is "voice of truth"

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
on to the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes
to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
On top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe-

I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the Voice of truth
I will listen and believe
Cause Jesus you are the voice of truth
And I will listen to you, you are-

STAR WARS NAMES!

I just found how to make my jedi name - i had totally forgotten this!!! LOL.
what's yours?

What's your Jedi name? To find out, take the first 3 letters of your first name then add the first 2 letters of your last name. That will be your first name. Next, take the first 2 letters of your mother's maiden name and add the first 3 letters of your home town. That will be your last name. My Jedi name is Carti Bepie. Have fun!

Thanks anna... way to have a star wars obsession :) I still need to see the movies someday... hmmm.

-Carti

PS: Are there any huge HHGTTG fans out there? If you are willing to take a towel with you, give me a call! (its the required level of commitment!!) I still haven't seen it and i'm dying to!

Carie- catured


Image hosted by Photobucket.comSo i randomly decided to look up "caricature of carie" and this is what i got... i don't know if it really looks like me, but that's not the point.  so there you have it.



In other news i got some beautiful carnations for mother's day. i realize that i'm not really a mother, but they had a whole stack at church that they were trying to get rid of, so i helped them out, and now the kitchen looks really pretty.



but that's all i've got for tonight.



sleep well :) 



btw: i slept for about 24 hours this weekend. Life looks so much better from this angle!!




 

busy times

Wow, it has been a loooooooooooooooooong time since i've been online. REALLY LONG... we're talking since about the 26th of APRIL! I know! almost 12 days! So summary of events:

> moved into new house with Karla, Kristie, Shawnda and Heidi (the last 2 being summer res'.) I love my new house. Its so PRETTY :)

> Parents moved into their new home. Has an 8 man hottub in the back yard, so anticipate many good hottub parties at their house. I think they're lonely. They're actually excited by this idea... ;)

> Still haven't heard about the fall, but got offered another summer job. Oh, i hate decisions. I'm still going to Keats, but its really hard to turn down a good city job.

> Finally fixed the mirror on my car which has been broken since the poop truck incident at camp.. and now have a new dent on my car instead. Good going carie.

> My Grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary is today. My sis and i drove to PA to eat supper with them and then drove home. Hmmm at least it was for a good cause and loveable company... the food wasn't really worth 3 hours of driving. (well 2 and a bit really.) And it was really fun to catch up with AJ.

> Its mother's day tomorrow and i still haven't bought my mom anything for it. What to get? hmmm.

> My South African granny is coming for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPEE! I love my granny!

> It has taken like 40 mins to catch up on the blog reading i haven't done in ages, and i really don't feel like writing comments on all of them. So hi everybody i haven't emailed in ages or seen online. I still love you and i'll post when ever i get a moment on my computer.

> i have a new email addy... if you email me at carie_timm@hotmail.com i'll send you my real address.
