Update from a backyard… sorta

Woohoo LIVE chat was crazy fun!! Click here for details of upcoming chats.

Although I have never been to the Virginia Tech campus, I was born and raised in Virginia. I have good friends that are alumni of VT. To see “Virginia” in the headlines has been surreal and my heart hurts for the community there.

If any that are affected by this tragedy might be reading this, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Know that a community here in New York was on their knees praying for you tonight.

May you be comforted and strengthened in this time of grief.

Here is a show of ribbons on my myspace that show that people are spreading the word and increasing the prayers.

Happy Easter!

Even though I am no expert in singing or playing guitar, I wanted to share my heart. This is dedicated to the One whose very nature is LOVE.

After reading these verses again and again, it inspired me to write the song.

Ephesians 3:17-19
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Lyrics:
When I try to look elsewhere or in others
I lose myself
For my life is nothing without you
My Creator

You give me meaning
You give me purpose
I find my destiny in you oh God

How wide
How long
How high and how deep
Is your love oh Lord

Unless the Lord builds this house
I will build in vain
I will sink in the sand
But I choose to stand on you
The Rock of my Salvation

You give me meaning
You give me purpose
I find my destiny in you oh God

How wide
How long
How high and how deep
Is your love oh Lord
For when I fall
When I fail
You pick me up
And hold me in your arms

Oh Lord my God
Redeemer and my Friend
You’re the Alpha, Omega
The Great I am
And I give my all to you

How wide
How long
How high and how deep
Is your love oh Lord

I die to myself
So that you might live in me oh Lord
All the days of my life
Shine through me
Oh God of who I am
Oh God of who I am
