Light Your World

Monday, November 20, 2006 by Kristen


There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a Spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home

So carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

'Cause we are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world

-Chris Rice Go Light Your World




"For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." 2 Corinthians 4:6

Praise the Lord!

Saturday, November 11, 2006 by Kristen

Praise the Lord for a beautiful day in the 50's-60's (finally!), for chats with close friends, and for......our piano!!!!!! Yes, our grand piano came in today!




I am so excited!! It's a beautiful glossy black, 6' 1" Bohemia grand piano....there is so much difference between this piano and the upright Yamaha that we were playing on :P....no comparison in what you can do with it. I played and played it almost as soon as the movers got it set up (except a short break to let other people try it :P); I love it! Praise the Lord! :D
Love and blessings!

Bits and Pieces

Wednesday, November 08, 2006 by Kristen

Ok, I'm going to update; I will not get distracted by e-mails, by terribly interesting websites, or by conversations....so here goes! lol
This is going to be what I like to call a "bits and pieces" post. :) Bits and pieces of information I'd like to share, but no one main theme, or any simple way to make them into one, if you want an update before next month! lol :P

  • First of all, my sister has been "metaled"(borrowing the words of my friend Kaylene)! Yes, Kara got her braces and a palate expander put on this week!
  • I know this is extremely belated, but happy birthday to my friend Paige! Hope you had a blessed one!
  • Our piano is scheduled to come in sometime next week!! (notice I said scheduled)
  • Our Grandma is coming home next week! She's been in Michigan finishing up some business, but is ready to come home and leave that crazy Michigan weather where it snows in October, right Grandma? :P 75 degrees in November sounds better, doesn't it? lol Love you and can't wait to see you!
  • In addition, I'd like to introduce Tralene to the rest of my blogger friends, if I may! :) Tralene (who commented on my last post) is one of my cousins from Michigan, and I'm so glad that she's joined the blogging world! So when is your blog coming up, Tralene? :P
Well, that's about all for my life update right now...I wanted share a little something else with you, too, but I'm out of time for tonight. :) I think that'll have to wait 'til tomorrow or Friday...sorry! Thanks to all of you for your patience! ;) Love and blessings!
