Let's Rock!

Today was a really super day. Ryan, my youth pastor, picked up my sister and I at 10 am. We made a few stops to pick up paint and then spent the entire day painting the youth room at the church. It looked so good when we finished for the day, but still so much to do! And it was just so great to spend that time with Christian people and have good conversation.

This evening I went to my first worship team practice and that was awesome too!! I haven't played bass in a few months, and though my heart ached for Charlie (RIP), if felt great to pull strings again. And the band members are so fun! I'm the youngest, but that doesn't matter. They all totally support my lack of experience (some of them have years on me) and made me feel like a real member. I'm pretty sure they'll keep me around for awhile. :)

One of the goals I made is turning out to be a lot more difficult then I had envisioned. The, take care of your body, goal. I had Wendy's for lunch and McDonald's for dinner. Yea. That's nasty. I really need to start following the Canada Food Guide and stop eating so many calories. I also need to drink more water, get more exercise and plan out my sleep pattern better. I have such a long way to go before I get on to a good routine.

I got a job... yippee!! But I'm still waiting to hear from them on when I begin. Hopefully by Thursday!!

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
