Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and Needy

it's not by our strength that we return to Him. He picks us up and brings us home again to Himself.. even after we ourselves tear ourselves from His embrace to run back to the Trash-dump called sin that we're so comfortable in.. after we fall in the dung and mire, helpless and broken, He takes us back in His arms and gives us new clothes, and a new identity..

How deep the Father's love for us indeed!

Songs of the day
-- Undo -- by Rush of Fools, and
-- How many Kings -- by downhere..

Undo
I've been here before, now here I am again
Standing at the door, praying You'll let me back in
To label me a prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

[Chorus]
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become

I focused on the score, but I could never win
Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin
To label me a hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

Chorus

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You

revival of the blog -- snow day..

School got cancelled... * GRAWH *
now i don't have a review session before my final on Friday..

HOWEVER, it also means i don't have to be outside on a day like this: Unfortunately, my poor neighbor Jordan Bradley has to..



That's him, in conditions of:

3 feet of snow, 40 mph winds, -30 degrees windchill outside.. and the snow is still coming down hard babehh...
thank GOD for the heater.. and a warm apartment.
hot chocolate and fresh baked choc chip oatmeal cookies hit the spot right there...



THis was the start of the storm last night. School was cancelled after 6pm. Even the LIBRARY ( which was open during last year's crazy ice-storm ) was closed..


okay i gotta get back to studying wastewater treatments.

and my roommate and I are going to brave the elements to go to fareway -- and get some real people interaction, and some milk.. this apartment is starting to get really goofy.. ( i know.. we're crazy, right?)

wish us luck! hopefully we'll get back alive to defrost ourselves..

Stay warm everyone!
