no ordinary day.

Friday, July 23, 2010.

For some people, today might be a special day. There are probably people getting married. Having a child. Celebrating a birthday.

But, for most of us, today is just any old day, right? Thanks, but no thanks.

I’m sick of ordinary days. Let’s make today be an extraordinary day, shall we?

break the rules.

Me? I’m not exercising today. At all. Because I just don’t feel like it.

be a goofball.

C’mon, I know you have a hilarious face you make. Do it…right now!!

feel. the. MUSIC.

quote it.

“Sometimes, running away means you’re headed in the exact right direction.”

“Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I’m not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.”

“Some people are settling down, some people are settling, and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies.”

say awww.

remember what it was like to be a kid.

Can you guess which one is me?

be a hopeless romantic.

give it up.

If I saw You on the street
And You said come and follow me
But I had to give up everything
All I once held dear and all of my dreams
Would I love You enough to let go
Or would my love run dry
When You asked for my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me

You can have me

If You’re all You claim to be
Then I’m not losing anything
So I will crawl upon my knees
Just to know the joy of suffering
I will love You enough to let go
Lord, I give you my life
I give you my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

I want to be where You are
I’m running into Your arms
And I will never look back
So Jesus, here is my heart

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
My Father, my love
You can have me.
