1. Where shepherds lately knelt and kept the angel's word, I come in half-belief, a pilgrim strangely stirred; But there is room and welcome there for me, But there is room and welcome there for me. 2. In that unlikely place I find him as they said: Sweet newborn Babe, how frail! And in a manger bed, A still small voice to cry one day for me, A still small voice to cry one day for me. 3. How should I not have known Isaiah would be there, His prophecies fulfilled? With pounding heart I stare: A child, a son, the Prince of Peace for me, A child, a son, the Prince of Peace for me. 4. Can I, will I forget how Love was born, and burned It's way into my heart unasked, unforced, unearned, To die, to live, and not alone for me, To die, to live, and not alone for me.

Christmas is only 2 days away. in Chicago there is snow and I returned from a christmas pageant this afternoon and my mom keeps playing feliz navidad on repeat so i'm in a festive mood. our chorus sang the above song for our concert. it was moving to sing

i'm waiting for my dad to return home. and i'm so bored. all that is on tv is monster-in-law with jlopez and jane fonda. it is as dumb as i thought so why am i annoyed that it went to comercial break? also annoyed b/c i dont know how i know jane fonda is supposed to be famous i reogranized my closet today. Along with my closet, my entire room has become a storage/computer/work out center for my parents. when i wake up and go to bed my mom is beside me on the computer. i wish i had more privacy! my parents remind me of the ladies from grey gardens. they only use like two rooms in the entire house and eat ice cream at random parts of the day. haha,

i have 10 minutes

to finish this before i go to dinner. i'm rereading ender's game before i start studying again. here's a paragraph i liked: Believed, but the seed of doubt was there, and it stayed, and every now and then set out a little root. it changed everything, to have that seed growing. it made Ender listen more carefully to what people meant, instead of what they said. it made him wise. this could be dangerous because when there's too much doubt, you expect people to fail you. then what's the point if you can never trust people? i've used the word jaded too much and i shouldn't be allowed say that word anymore. it breeds contempt at what is and gives little promise for things to get better. because when things have, it hasn't last for very long. and now w/ people leaving and friendships disappating it makes me wonder what i have left. starting over is overwhelming and i can imagine how fake and insincere it could turn out to be. i have to go. bah!

all the colors of the rainbow, wind's voices, every word, star, and corner

someone once said that God could have built boxes instead of trees to give us shade. big brown boxes to rattle in the wind instead of a beautiful tree swaying to the mild zephyrs. but he created trees instead. and i remember that someone else said that all creation just longs to worship God. nature, trees, the grass, if they could talk, would proclaim that Jesus is King. and i sat there... just surrounded by these trees in this beautiful park and saw how everything was created by God. and i couldn't help but worship.
