Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace,

How Sweet the Sound...

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You! Ps. 84:10-12

God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping

God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking

Be my everything

God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting

God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything

~ Tim Hughes

My Amazingly Vampire Weekend (so far)

This Friday night was absolutely amazing! It started out with a road trip to Portland to see a Vampire Weekend concert with some friends. One girl with us came to see if she could buy a ticket at the venue. This is where all the fun begins! Long story short, we used the wrong directions and ended up parking somewhere with a cheep price. However, we had no clue where we were! So we ended up asking these two girls on bicycles with carts if they knew where the Crystal Ballroom was. (that was our venue)

They told us that the Crystal Ballroom was 2 blocks over and 10 blocks up! There was no way we were going to get there in time, but then... The girls told us they were a taxi service and that they would take us there! So we rode in bicycle taxis for 12 blocks and got there in time for the concert! It was absolutely amazing! By chance, we just happened to meet someone who could get us there even faster than we could!

So when we finally got there, all the tickets were sold out! Our friend had no place to go and we didn't just want to leave her there! We had no idea what to do! So one of the bouncers let her in for free and said that it was his random act of kindness for the day! What an amazing thing to do! So she got in for free and we went up!

Once we got up to the stage, we only had to wait 15 min. for the concert to start. After the opening bands were done Vampire Weekend took the stage! AAAAHHHHHH! It was amazing!

In case you didn't know who these guys are... They're a band from NY and they aren't very well known yet, but they are amazing!

Their concert was full of energy! The concert was sooooo good, I can't decide if their concert, or album is better! They played up on stage for so long that they played every song that they've ever recorded!


We all had sooooo much fun it still makes me all excited just thinking about the night we had! It was amazing to see God at work in our night too! All the people He put in our path that were able to help us, it just amazes me! God protected us and guided us even while going to a concert! What a wonderful God I have!
