Valentine

Every-time
That I wake up next to you
It all feels the same
And my mind will make up any excuse
To rid me of my name

This is different now
The way you look at me
And your smile in to
Like we’re making history
And this is different now,
Cause this it’s you
And you are the sun coming up
on the inside of me
So let me in to your window
And I’ll be your Romeo
Let me in
Say you’ll be mine
I’ll be your valentine
I’ll be your valentine
Yeah
Say my name,
Now give it up
Every year
I swear the season
Falls on a Monday
You are here
You are the reason I am laughing out loud
This way
This is different now
You can feel the sunshine
And your smile can feel the chemistry
This is different now
Because its you
You can feel the sun coming up on the inside me
Let me in to you window
Say you’ll be mine
I’ll be your Romeo
So let me in
Say you’ll be mine
I’ll be your valentine



This song has been obsession this week. I dont, it just seems to help me... there's something about the words that makes my heart feel light.
Lately i've been doing really good.. even though exams are so soon, and i havent even begun to study. I've given all my insecurities to God, and it seems like i feel better about myself.. liek not a miracle working, but a little bit each day. Even though the enemy has been throwing some crap my direction, i'm just going to keep trusting God... dont let that stuff bother me
yeah anyways im goin to head
snowboarding tomrrow! yesss

In His Arms

As he picked me up
in his arms,
he whispered in my ear
"you are my beloved".
He held me,
washing away all the hurt,
grief,
and disappointment.
My beloved then took me away,
to far off places
you only dream of,
where the skies were so blue,
the grass so green,
that life seemed unreal.
As he held me again
he whispered
"you can trust me like no other".
My beloved then laid out a
facny feast.
Food so delicate,
you would be afraid to touch it.
"Eat, and be refreshed"
he said.
As I ate
I could feel new
strength,
joy,
and love
come from within.
In His arms,
I dicscover life.


Hey guys... it's been a while since i wrote something besides my poetry, and lyrics on here. It's probably getting pretty boring, but for me this is a way for me to express things I'm going through, and it's a way for me to interact with God (sometimes).
What have I been up to lately... thats a pretty good question. I did get my N, which is so nice to have.. thanks for praying people that did. Christmas was nice in Manitoba, kinda nice to see all the family, but yet it was pretty boring. School started again, and it seems we have tons of homework.. or maybe I just do. I've been working 10 hours a week, gettin some nice pay (and yes it's still at Timmy Hoes). I've been looking for a new job, but I'm not having any luck so far, but hopefully soon. I think that's it, so I think I'll probably write about what's been bothering me for a while nwo, cause I have no where else to do this, and this is pretty much a journal for me. Lately, it feels like I hate the way I look, I'm either too fat, I have nasty hair, my frekles look like zits, or I wish I could look like someone else. 2 weeks ago it was pretty bad, I couldnt walk into a bathroom and not say "omigoodness I look like crap today". So last week after I pretty much had a melt down I decided that I wasn't going to say anything negative about my self all week, especially when I was in front of a mirror. Then I realized that God created me who I am now, not who I want to be, but how he envisioned me, down to the very last brain cell, you nkow? I felt like I was telling God "Thanks for the nice eyes I have God, but the rest of the way you created me just sucks", how fair is that? So it's been getting better... I'm also just tying to trust God more now. There's things that I want, that I'm wishing for, but I know he has a plan for me.. and when ever it happens, then I'll know. but til then it's up to Him....
yessss... so interesting.. but yeah
love dani

Better Days


And you asked me what
I want this year
and I tried to make this
kind and clear
just a chance that maybe we'd find
better days
cause I dont need boxes
wrapped in strings,
and design a love
and empty things
just a chance we'd find
better days
so take these words
and sing out loud
cause everyone
is forgetting now
cause tonights the night the world begins
again
I need somplace simple
where we could live
and something only you could give
and thats faith and trust
and peace
while were alive
and the one poor child
who saved the world
and theres 10 million more
who proably could
if we just stopped
and said a prayer for them
so take these words
and sing outloud
cause everyone
is forgiving now
cause tonights the night the world begins
again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
some how stop this endless fight
just a chance we'll find
better days
so take these words
and sing out loud
cause everyone
is forgiving now
cause tonights the night the world beings
again
cause tonights the night the world begins
again

unrest


My running is not
getting me there.
What is it I'm running from?
What chases me from dawn
to dusk?
What makes my heart long for
Peace?
How can I rid this aching?
Where can I find rest?
Surely not in this
darknes.
Oh where can I be free?
Maybe this is all a dream,
from which I will awaken.
Will these clouds
ever clear,
for me to see what is ahead?
Will I ever be without confusion?
Will life ever be the way it was,
without unrest?
