"The key is to get to know people and trust them to be who they are. Instead, we trust people to be who we want them to be - and when they're not, we cry." -David Duchovny

(February 09) Today we're celebrating . . . Love May Make The World Go 'Round, But Laughter Keeps Us From Getting Dizzy Week


Love May Make The World Go ‘Round, But Laughter Keeps Us From Getting Dizzy Week

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people

The week before Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to remind us that there is a strong connection between the heart and “hearty” laughter.

Laughter is cleansing. There aren't many things I enjoy more than spending time laughing and enjoying time with friends. I've found I can't take life too seriously because it brings me down. I really believe laughter with people you love is the best medicine

my God is mighty to save

Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations

Savior, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever, Author of Salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave


So take as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender


Shine your light
And let the whole world see
We're singing
For the glory of the risen King, Jesus



I love this song. I've been listening to it for about a week straight. The lyrics are so beautiful. He can move the mountains. He is mighty to save. I have so many mountains I need God to move. How many times do I try to fix my problems on my own? How silly is that when I talk to someone every single day who can handle them without breaking a sweat? I'm starting to think I don't think I recognize how powerful God is with the way I live my life. I run around acting like I have to fix every situation that seems to be broken. Like I have to know where I'm headed and exactly when I'll get there. God knows it all. God can handle it all. God will take care of me. God loves me.

So take me as you find me, all my fears and failures. Fill my life again, I give my life to follow everything I believe in. That speaks for itself. Thank You Lord for taking me just as I am. Thank You for accepting me when I'm not perfect and using me even though I'll never be perfect. Thank You.
