From the Inside Out- Hillsong

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
my heart and my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Chorus 2x
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out

D.C.

D.C. was a blast! I took over 4000 pictures. seriously. And the best part of the trip was that it was all paid for! Here are some hilights of the week:

• We looked at every tourist attraction there was in D.C. in about 6 hours except for Mount Vernon and the FDR memorial.
  
• We walked a total of about 8 miles the entire trip. which was 4 days, but two of the days were spent on the bus
  
• The Halocust Museam was gut renching. and I don't know how anybody can every say that it didn't happen.
  
• I felt underdressed the entire time I was in the hotel. no joke!
  
• Hot tubs are the best, especially after walking 6 miles
• Me, Elizabeth and Michaela figured out that steps are really, really cool :)
• Seeing the First Ladies exibit at the Smithsonian of American History was cool.
• We got to the Star Spangled Flag and that was neat.
• I offically hate when my ears pop. especially since I am from michigan, and everything is flat!
• I have never really heard that many awesome speakers in my entire life
• oh, and I can't forget this one...the food was awesome!
  

I'll be writing more about the trip hopefully soon! And maybe some pictures too!

Washington D.C.

I have been absent for a long time on this blog, but i have been busy with homework, going to school, and babysitting.

But one that I am really looking forward to is going to Washington D.C.- I have never been there, and i have never really been traveling either, so it should be fun!

We actually just found out on tuesday morning that we were going. And Me, My sister Elizabeth, my mom, my friend Michaela, and Michaela's mom are all going. Oh and on a side note, the hotel is awesome!

We are actually going with a whole group of people, so we will be traveling on a bus, but the bus is really nice, (its got dvd players at every seat!) we are leaving tomorrow (thursday) at 9 in the evening, and were driving though the night (because its a 10 hours drive) and we'll get at the hotel around 8 or 9 in the morning. And we are coming home on Sunday at about 9 or 10 in the evening.

So be looking for pictures some time soon!

"Joy is not gush: joy is not jolliness. Joy is simply perfect acquiescence in God's will, because the soul delights itself in God himself... rejoice in the will of God, and in nothing else. Bow down your heads and your hearts before God, and let the will, the blessed will of God, be done." -Amy Carmichael
