Music: God Only Knows by for King & Country

The radio station, K-Love has been playing a song I really like. God Only Knows by for King & Country has some powerful lyrics.

What I love about God is that He knows what we're going through and exactly how we feel. He knows each and every person inside and out. Not only does he know us, but he loves us. He loves us enough to save us from our sins by sending us Jesus.

GOD ONLY KNOWS Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wide awake while the world is sound asleepin'
Too afraid of what might show up while you're dreamin'
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody would believe you
Every day you try to pick up all the pieces
All the memories, they somehow never leave you
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody would believe you

[Chorus]
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it's killing you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
But God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows

[Post-Chorus]
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love

[Verse 2]
You keep a cover over every single secret
So afraid if someone saw them, they would leave
Somebody, somebody, somebody sees you
Somebody, somebody will never leave you

Louie Giglio: Fruit Cake and Ice Cream

I enjoy watching Louie Giglo's sermons. I appreciate his realness! Here he shares the life-changing experience of a college student named, Ashley. It really impacted me and reminded me that our example, as Christians can change the world. Here's to being a "fruit cake."

What are your thoughts on this?

Christmas

This will be my first Christmas in my apartment. I'd like to get a small Christmas tree and a Christmas wreath.

More than anything, I'd can't wait to pass this class so I can get into the Christmas spirit.

So far, I have only purchased one Christmas present and that was over summer. So, I've got a long way to go. This year, I'm on a tighter budget. Boo! I guess, it will make me more creative. :)

I've always said I love a simple Christmas. I hate holidays being overdone. I love the simplicity of doing enough to make it special, but still be able to enjoy it. Sometimes all the plans and hype take the focus away from what Christmas is all about. Christmas is about God who sent His Son, Jesus to save us from our sin. Without this great gift, we could never hope to go to heaven, but God made a way for us through Jesus. Amen!
