Day 5: A song to fit your mood.
Oh My God - Jars of Clay.
Oh my God, look around this place
Your fingers reach around the bone
You set the break and set the tone
Flights of grace, and future falls
In present pain
All fools say, "Oh my God"
Oh my God, Why are we so afraid?
We make it worse when we don't bleed
There is no cure for our disease
Turn a phrase, and rise again
Or fake your death and only tell your closest friend
Oh my God.
Oh my God, can I complain?
You take away my firm belief and graft my soul upon your grief
Weddings, boats and alibis
All drift away, and a mother cries
Liars and fools; sons and failures
Thieves will always say
Lost and found; ailing wanderers
Healers always say
Whores and angels; men with problems
Leavers always say
Broken hearted; separated
Orphans always say
War creators; racial haters
Preachers always say
Distant fathers; fallen warriors
Givers always say
Pilgrim saints; lonely widows
Users always say
Fearful mothers; watchful doubters
Saviors always say
Sometimes I cannot forgive
And these days, mercy cuts so deep
If the world was how it should be, maybe I could get some sleep
While I lay, I dream we're better,
Scales were gone and faces light
When we wake, we hate our brother
We still move to hurt each other
Sometimes I can close my eyes,
And all the fear that keeps me silent falls below my heavy breathing,
What makes me so badly bent?
We all have a chance to murder
We all feel the need for wonder
We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the thunder
Sometimes when I lose my grip, I wonder what to make of heaven
All the times I thought to reach up
All the times I had to give
Babies underneath their beds
Hospitals that cannot treat all the wounds that money causes,
All the comforts of cathedrals
All the cries of thirsty children - this is our inheritance
All the rage of watching mothers - this is our greatest offense
Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God

Day 4 (cutting it close)
Day 4: Your parents
Let me see... What exactly do you want to know about my parents....eh????
My mother, love her to death. She is so sweet. So thoughtful. So giving. She hasn't had the easiest life, but you couldn't tell it by the way she treats others.
My father, I get my love for music from him. He loves to sing, loves deep harmony, and loves movie music.
My parents have brought me up in a loving, Christian home and I am forever grateful.

Day 2....(and 3, cause I suck)
So yeah, I've already fallen off the bandwagon and skipped a day. I'll do a two-for-one special!!
Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name
My blog name "These Thousand Hills" are lyrics from a song I really like by Third Day.
These thousand hills roll ever on
In footprints of a Mighty God
They bring me to my knees in praise
Amazing love, amazing grace
Day 3: Your first love
My first love is none other than... Joseph Mulrey "Joey" McIntyre.
That's right, I'll admit it. I even got my own father in trouble because I wanted to talk to him so much that I called some silly 900 numbers. They promised I'd get to talk to him. When the phone bill came in, I sat in silence while my father was put through a tremendous line of questioning by my mother. I finally fessed up, though... and got in all kinds of trouble.
And you know what... it was SOOOO worth it. ;)

Day 1
I'm going to try and get back into this blogging thing. My buddy Abbey is doing a 30-Day Blog Challenge and I thought I'd follow suit.
Day 1: Introduce, recent picture of yourself, 15 interesting facts
What am I supposed to be introducing? Myself? Anyone reading this already knows me. Am I supposed to be introducing the blog challenge? I've already done that, so let's move on. ;)
Here is a recent picture of myself. I don't like pictures of myself. Ever. So this is a rarity...
And... Here are 15 "interesting" (I'll use that term loosely) facts about myself.
1. My heart is divided into two homes. They say your home is where your heart is and my heart is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Humboldt, Tennessee.
2. After wasting the last 10 years of my life putting my faith in "someday" and waiting on circumstances that did not pan out, I've decided the next 10 years are about me.
3. I never knew I could feel frustration and enjoyment at the same time until I started taking Statistics.
4. I have found that I quite enjoy sushi.
5. I have an incredible nephew named William Landyn. He is my pride and joy.
6. I can't wait for my neice to be born. She is due April 13th. Her name is Annabella Mae.
7. I have a big galoof of a dog named Sadie. When I got her she was 4 months old and already pretty good sized for a puppy... but now... she's a freaking horse. And only 6 months old. This is going to get interesting. She's beautiful though. And very rowdy.
8. My father was in the military so I got to live in Germany for 3 years. I was there in 1985 through 1987. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades.
9. My dream job is to own a technical writing and training company. Meaning that I would come into a company who has hired me (or my company) and learn their processes and create training manuals and develop a training programs for them to use. (It's totally nerdy, I know...)
10. I love Glee. I love the music. Yes, I know it's doctored up and tweaked, but I just love it. I don't always love the adult themes placed in a show that is geared toward high school aged young adults, however.
11. My mother has a bad habit of calling me Matilda Lou. What's that about?
12. I don't really remember a lot of my childhood. I remember college. But High School is hazy. And before that... is minimal. Which is weird, isn't it?
13. I believe I could survive on a diet of rich desserts. And nothing else.
14. My favorite drink from Sonic is Cranberry Dr. Pepper. Try it. It'll change your life.
15. I get a new cell phone in less than a week and I could NOT be more excited. This phone has served me well, but it is getting worn out, shuts itself off, loses my settings, and is SOOOO FRUSTRATING!! And, I still don't know what kind of phone I want. Suggestions?

true story
Be careful little eyes what you see; it's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings. Be careful little feet where you go for it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow.
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away. It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray. Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid when you give yourself away. People never crumble in a day; it's a slow fade, it's a slow fade.
Be careful little ears what you hear; when flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near. Be careful little lips what you say for empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray.
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away. It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray. Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid when you give yourself away. People never crumble in a day.
The journey from your mind to your hands is shorter than you're thinking. Be careful if you think you stand; you just might be sinking.
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away. It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray. Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid when you give yourself away. People never crumble in a day. Daddies never crumble in a day. Families never crumble in a day.
Oh be careful little eyes what you see. Oh be careful little eyes what you see for the Father up above is looking down in love. Oh be careful little eyes what you see.

Here's why...
So my lack of posting this week is because...
1) i'm not at home. i'm dogsitting/housesitting for bro and sil while they are on vacation. these dogs are a handful.
2) i'm worn out. emotionally, physically, mentally. i've just had a bad week.
maybe i'll be better next week.
pray for me please.
