Hymns of The Week~Your Grace Is Enough by Matt Maher


You Grace Is Enough
Great is Your faithfulness oh God
You wrestle with the sinner's heart
You lead us by still waters in to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Great is Your love and justice God of Jacob
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of Your salvation
And all Your people sing along

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me [x2]

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Your grace is enough
Heaven reaching down to us
Your grace is enough for me
God I see your grace is enough
I'm covered in your love
Your grace is enough for me
For me

Hymn Of The Week ~ Grace by Laura Story

GRACE
My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me as great things I have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me and hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.

Chorus:

I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abound?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged, knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job. For who am I to serve You?I know I don't deserve You. And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.


Chorus*

I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
You are so patient with me, Lord.

As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really means. The price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary. So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm learning to simply obey You

by giving up my life to you For all that You've given to me.

Chorus:

I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

Dvorak String Quartet(American)

Movement No. 1

Movement No.2


Movement No.3


Movement No.4



A little while ago a couple of members from my awesome family went with me to go hear The Samford Faculty String Quartet preform and is to date one of the best concerts I have ever been to! I loved it! One of my favorite pieces they played was Dvorak's String Quartet "American." I was beautiful, and very fun too. So here are videos of his string quartet, although these are not preformed by the SSQ they are still very good. Enjoy!

Hymn Of The Week ~ Forever Reign by Hillsong

 
 
 
You are good You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love You are love
On display for all to see
You are light You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life You are life
In You death has lost its sting

(Oh) I'm running to Your arms
I'm running to Your arms
The riches of Your love will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here You are here
In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God You are God
Of all else I'm letting go

My heart will sing no other Name
Jesus Jesus

Me And My Cello

 
This one is for my dear sweet baby, which I missed A LOT while we were at the lake last week(more on that later).
Oh, and by the way, I am up for suggestions on what to name my cello so feel free to comment telling me any ideas you might have! :)

What Orchestral Instrument Are You?


I found this on a blog a while back, and after most of my family took the test we discovered that between all of us, and all of our different personalities we have a pretty good start on an orchestra!
I was a Bassoon, I get tickled every time I read: "when you speak your mind... your thoughts become famous." I'm not real sure about that part... or the "possess wisdom beyond your years" part either, but the rest is very "me."

What Orchestral Instrument are You?
Bassoon
When most people think of you they are immediately reminded of your subtle, quiet sense of humor. It seems like you are always laughing, and your quip-like commentary on otherwise serious statements is hilarious. But, you can also be incredibly serious too, and when you speak your mind with gravity your thoughts become famous. You possess wisdom beyond your years, and your subtle sense of humor is just one expression of that.
