Something to Say- Matthew West

Wake up, 7:32 AM
Can't believe it's time to do it over again
Yesterday, it took all that you had
And you're wonderin' if you'll ever get it back

But the whole wide world is waiting for
Waiting for you to step out that door
Come on, and let your life be heard today
You got something to say

If you're livin', if you're breathin'
You got something to say
And you know if your heart is beatin'
You got something to say

And no one can say it like you do
God is love and love speaks through you
Got it, you got it
You got something to say

Yeah, yeah
Something to say
Yeah, oh

Listen up, I got a question here
Would anybody miss you if you disappeared?
Well, your life is the song that you sing
And the whole wide world is listening

Well, the answer to the question is
You were created, your life is a gift
And the lights are shining on you today
'Cause you got something to say.

 

-Something to Say by Matthew West

 

I'm kindof obsessed with Matthew West.  His songs always has a good message and is sometimes the message that I need to hear.  Something to Say is one of my favorites; its one of his older songs but still in the top 5.

 

If you got something to say with your life just say it.  You were put on this earth for a reason. You have gifts that you can share to make the world a better place.

The Motions

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything
Instead of going through the motions?

-Matthew West

It seems that nowadays people only go through the motions. People say that they are Christians and go to Church but they live their lives differently. Drinking, drugs, being pro-choice, wearing revealing clothes. So, don't just go through the motions, act on your faith. Whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, ect. You should act and show your faith instead of just going to Church and then turning around and doing things that you shouldn't.

Life

All life is important.  Be pro-life.

*Be glad you mother chose life.*

*A person's a person no matter how small.*

Thank You!

What if in the morning when I wake up,
Even before I fill my coffee cup,
I say thank you, thank you.

What if I look at the day and the hours ahead,
and before I move forward I bow my head,
And say thank you, oh I say thank you.

What if I looked at my life in a different way,
Took a little more time to stop and pray,
I know it would change all the moments in between,
So here I go.

Thank you for everything
Thank you for loving me
It don't even matter what tomorrow brings
Well I will sing my

Thank you for sun and rain
For what you give and take away
For all your goodness I will always say
Thank you, Oh I say thank you.

What if I lost everything that I had
I could smile and somehow still be glad
And say Thank you.

-Thank You by 33 Miles

I have a lot to thank God for.  Life, family, friends.  Sometimes I don't always say it but Thank You..

:)

What are you thankful for?

Miracles

"Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see." -C.S. Lewis

"Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you." -Jon Bon Jovi

"Miracles happen to those who believe in them." -Bernard Berenson


Miracles are something that I am very personally familiar with.  To me life is a miracle. Everyday miracles happen; so look out for the little ones because everything can be a miracle.

:)

When was the last time you experienced a miracle?

YOLO

YOLO: You only live once.

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like it's heaven on earth." -William W. Purkey

I've learned though experience that life is too short to settle. That life is too precious to throw away. To me YOLO means, not to do something stupid or dangerous, but that you should live like there is no tomorrow. Live as if today is your last day on earth. Don't do something stupid to make it your last day on earth. Rather love with no regrets, laugh out loud (even if people stare), dance in the rain, do things for other people because that is what they will remember you by, and above all live like it's your only life (cause it is.)
 

Growing Up

Do you remember when you were a little kid and can't wait to be a grownup?  Well I was wrong.  It is better to be a kid.

 My days off of work consist of cleaning, packing for college, cooking dinner, and exercising (when I have time.)  The days I have work consists of all of that; minus cooking dinner.

I leave for college in about 3ish weeks. (For the record I finished high school two years ago and went to a community college. But I was still living at home so it didn't feel any different than high school.) I don't really feel ready to start my adult life but you got to start somewhere. 

Just some thoughts.

:)

Question of the post: When did you feel like you were a grown up?  Do you think that you grew up too fast?

Love to hear your responses on this topic.

You are Beautiful

Just wanted to say. :)

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed. But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell. You don't know. You don't know you're beautiful."- One Direction
