The Glorious Unseen

So I've noticed that I tend to have somewhat of an obsessive personality and when I'm excited about something, my life is consumed by that thing until something else kind of captures my attention. Well, my current obsession is with a band called the Glorious Unseen. The lyrics from their songs are seriously some of the best ones I've ever heard, it's like the lyrics put words to what my heart has been feeling. At first I was going to put some of the lyrics to a couple of the songs on here, but there's just really not enough room for me to do that, they're that amazing. What you should do though is google them and find some of their lyrics and then buy their cd and you will not be disappointed, I wish I could buy you each one of their cd's, but I can't. Their one song called "burn in me" nearly brought me to tears. I truly can't say enough about how much God has blessed me through listening to them.

Rejoice Always

That little verse always kind of gets me. I like to think that I'm a joyful person, but "always"? That's another story. As you've seen in the previous blogs, things have been kind of tough and I have to admit although I said I knew God was in control and that He had me in the palm of His hand, I honestly still didn't really believe it. But after these past couple of days I've spent at my parent's house and then tonight being the first night at the Pirolo's I have to admit that although it's tough not having a real "space of my own" I know I need to be thankful and rejoice that God is providing for me and that this is a time in my life where I'm not supposed to be comfortable. I need to thank God that I have a great family where I am able to go back and live with them and I've been blessed with a great family with the Pirolo's as well. I now need to continue to remember that although "He gives and takes away" He's still faithful to love, provide, and take care of me and that He is faithful even when I'm faithless. I am just so thankful that He knows what's going on and that He knows what's best for me.
