{You're Beautiful}

You know how sometimes there are just those songs that grab you by the heart and are just so awe strikingly beautiful and have lyrics and chords that just seem to put your heartbeats into audible sound waves? Songs that immediately transport you into a dark room, with a worship band leading you into intimate worship, your voice joining in with other Christians, you're all screaming the lyrics at the top of your lungs with tears streaming down your face? (At least for me, this is where I go) 

This song, this is one of those songs for me. Without a doubt. 

You're Beauitful by Phil Wickham

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You're beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It's all proclaiming who You are
You're beautiful

I see You there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now You are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity's shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We'll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we'll sing
You're beautiful

I see Your face, I see Your face
I see Your face, You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful

{Update}





Dear Whomever Reads My Blog,

Today is Sunday, December, 1, 2013, and I thought I would give a little update on what has been going on. I fully plan to get back on my blog game as soon as possible but I have had my hands more than a little full with life this past month or two. I currently have 4 jobs, I am in a sorority, and I am full time at school as well. I also moved out of my parents house {EEEEK, scary}, but also exciting. I now live with my cousin Emily, which has turned into such a blessing. Emily and I had never even met each other before September, but Emily is literally my counter part. We are the same person, with a few minor differences. We share the same love in clothes, food, decorations, movies, and most importantly JESUS. Emily has a heart for the Lord and it is such a blessing to live with someone who not only keeps me accountable but also uplifts me and encourages me. It's also pretty cool to live with someone who will go to BDubs with me @ 1 A.M. and watch Breaking Bad. Just sayin'.

So Thanksgiving just passed and I feel like I missed a huge opportunity to brag on my family and friends! So I just said how thankful I am for my roommate, but there is a long list of others that I am SO thankful for!

First, my family! I am thankful for my WHOLE family, every single person. I could not imagine my life turning out the way it has without everyone in my family, my family has helped to shape who I am today. I am also TREMENDOUSLY thankful for my parents. Many of you already know that my mom is my bestfriend. I don't say that lightly. My mom is the weirdest, craziest, most loving, insane, beautiful, coolest, and amazing person I know. She is the person I call when I am in trouble {yes that does happen sometimes, I know, shocker}, the person I call when I am excited, bored, scared, hungry, or anything else! She is the person I call at 2 A.M. to bring me milk so I can make biscuits and gravy {true story}, the person I call when I locked myself outside of the house without pants {also true story}, and the person I call when I've gotten my heart shattered into a million pieces and I cannot possibly ever love anyone ever again {not true story come to find out, but I thought it was true then}. Long story short, my mom is my absolute best friend, partner in crime, crime fighter, and mentor. She has truly shown me what a Godly, southern woman looks like.

Second, I am thankful for my friends! 1 group of friends I am thankful for are all of my sorority sisters! I don't know what I would do without y'all! My lunch buddies, my movie dates, my sisters in Christ, all of my dearest friends. I am especially thankful for my pledge class! I love all of those girls dearly, I have gotten to know them so well these past few months and I couldn't have asked for a better group of girls to have been in the same pledge class with! I am also SO thankful for my Big Sister! My Biggie Smalls is my best friend, my sorority didn't know what they were doing when they put us together but I am so glad they did! We are the perfect push and pull partnership, the best pairing they could have ever made! Don't know what I would do without her, she is always there for me, even at 4:00 A.M.!

Third, I am thankful for my church family! Probably some of the most passionately, constructively critically, supportive group in my life. They never accept anything less than the best of me which is great. They love me, support me, encourage me, and are always checking up on me.

So those are just a FEW groups of people in my life that I am thankful for, I could not possibly name every person in my life that I am thankful for. Actually, if I took about a year of my life I might be able to. But since that list is always growing, it might take eternity.

Well that is just a little update on my life, I plan on updating more later on tonight, but here is just a little bit!

Til Later,
Love and Blessings,
K
