Once. And Again Some Day?

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

I had a great day.
Classes went quickly, and still fairly simple.
I got eighty percent on my very first test of the year... that's pretty good, no?
After class I met up with Steve Vincent and we went for lunch at a hockey restaurant (he likes hockey haha) and I had a blast! We went through the massive list of all the people we have in common and talked about all the cool things about being a fireman (my personal favourite would be the calender.... haha), so that was cool.

I think it's time for a mind sweep...
You know when you delete a bunch of stuff off your computer, but then you have to go in and do a final delete in the trash can? Well, I've deleted a lot of things from my life and made some hard decisions, but now I need to do the final "let go"... you know? It's so hard. I hold onto things for a really long time (too long... I'm still somehow holding onto things that happened in tenth grade).

People are important to me... very important to me.

So it seems as though I am going to New York alone.... the rest of my team haven't sent in their applications yet.
---
Tomorrow I get my first photo assignment!
---
That's it... tomorrow I'm handing out twenty applications for work. No more of this waiting around for the good places... I need money!

Song of Songs 8:4
I need to remember this one.
Maybe I'll tattoo it on my forearm...

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
