New Found Loves.

I'm obsessed with the song "Something's Got to Change" by Josh Wilson. I give props to Ashley for finding it, and sharing it with me the other day. The lyrics are moving, and filled with so much truth. I encourage anyone to look them up and read them while listening.

I'm really thrilled for a weekend away from this town coming up. Me, my mother, and Ashley are going up to West Virginia to stay at my amazing aunt's house. The original reason was to get a chair from my grandfather that is being used to furnish my brother's future apartment. But, my mom had the idea of making it a road trip. Amy was supposed to come too, but she can't. :| Which sucks, really bad. But I'm still excited.

Tons of drama has consumed me lately. And weighed me down. I really hope God takes this situation and makes the best out of it. The end.

I started reading Dear John tonight. I saw many Facebook statuses along the lines of "Can't put this book down," and decided to try the book out since my mom is a crazy Nicholas Sparks fan and already has all of his books. It's pretty addicting, which is a quality that has to exist in books for me to stick with them.

I LOVE the store American Apparel. Me, Amy, and my mom went to Southpark Mall to shop today. It was a fuckload of fun. Excuse my language, but I had to. Anyways, the store is simply amazing, and I purchased some snazzy new patterned leggings that I'm in love with.
Delia's, Locaste, Urban Outfitters, Anthropology, etc. So many amazing stores that are out of my price range in that mall. Yay for that.
Another yay for good pasta & cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory.

Another new found love of mine: the MTV show The Buried Life. I watched the season premeire one and a half times the other night. I'm addicted and wish it came on more than once a week. My Life as Liz was also catchy, but confusing as to whether or not it's real? Help.

I'm falling for a guy. Which is inevitably not normal at all for me. But he's really amazing, treats me like I'm different than other girls, and has a love for Christ that makes me want to be a better person. I don't know how all of it will turn out, but I hope I don't ruin it with my pessimistic instincts. I'm not letting myself talk myself out of this one, because this is an opportunity that can not be passed, and I have a weird feeling we have something special.

Listen to Your Heart, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, I Will Always Love You, & The Lion Sleeps Tonight are some other old songs that I'm hooked on right now. Just sayin'.

Sincerely,
Liz.

You.

You are all that I live for.
The very thing I search for, breathe for, strive for.
The smile you bring to my heart does not fade.
In a scorching nightmare you bring my soul shade.
You are rest, peace, light in the darkest place.
At my very best you humble me,
And at my very worst you lift me up.
When I can go no longer,
You change my direction.
You are perfection.
Your selection,
Never fails me.
You shield me,
Guide me,
Hold me,
Shine everlasting truth into my life.
When I cry out you answer,
When guilt drags me to the ground,
You give me wings to fly.
I am free.
When I'm with you.
You are all that I live for.
The very thing I search for, breathe for, strive for.
You are a sweet melody,
A gorgeous tune.
As a hopeless sinner I come before you,
As a washed clean warrior I leave.
I never can not be changed in your presence.
I never can not be moved with your blessings.
All that you are can not be written,
All that you do can not be explained,
The way that you move,
Can't be put into words.
The lost don't understand,
None can comprehend.
You.
Are all that I live for.
The very thing I search for, breathe for, strive for.
