The Next Chapter
   
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ~ Lamentations 3:23

New every morning.  No matter what the day was like, no matter how crazy, no matter what you did or did not accomplish.... Give thanks. Find 5 things before sleeping to give thanks to God for.  Today I am grateful for being able to start my day with Jamie, breakfast was yummy. I am grateful I finished my finals and I have a day off tomorrow.I am grateful for a smooth transistion from cable to Fios. And it am impressed with how mcuh quicker it is. I am grateful for a beautiful day and enjoy time after my exam to enjoy it.  I am grateful for my friend Jane, and enjoyed a great dinner and conversation.   Sometimes my thankfulness is for a green light or a cool breeze.
Today I am very aware of the date, and I am thankful for the peace and understanding of where I am and why I am here.  Knowing God has a plan, and I don't need to get ahead of his plan.....all in good time.... all in God's time.  Tommorow is another day, new from dawn to dusk.


"What Love Really Means" ~ JJ Heller

He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He's the kid with the story
No one would believe
He prays every night
"Dear God won't you please
Could you send someone here
Who will love me?"

Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done
Or what I will become
Who will love me for me
'Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means

Her office is shrinking a little each day
She's the woman whose husband has run away
She'll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would've stayed
And she says...
Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done
Or what I will become
Who will love me for me
'Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means
What love really means

He's waiting to die as he sits all alone
He's a man in a cell who regrets what he's done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
"Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home"

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said,
"I know you've murdered and I know you've lied
And I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you'll listen I'll, I'll tell you that I..."

I will love you for you
Not for what you have done
Or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew
Love you for you
Not for what you have done
Or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew
