Words!

 This is now one of my new favorite songs! I love this song for many reasons, but I would like to discuss a few of the main reasons why this song means so much to me.

I have spent my whole life either hating or loving words. People have given me compliments and have said nice things about me over the years, but no matter how many good things people say about me I can never forget the bad. 

I have been criticized about faults I have for a long time and I can never get rid of those faults when people always remind me of them. I wonder how many other people have cried their eyes out after going to bed because of some of the things people have said to them. These words also hurt the most when spoken by family or friends, because those words are so personal that you will never forget them. No matter how much people try to change, they can never do it when people keep hurting them.

If you want someone to change you should tell them their faults with following encouragement. Never end a conversation with your last words pointing at them with a sword at their heart. 

I can never forget the bad things people say about me, but I will always want to remember the words that make me smile! :D 

Enjoy this song. I will also attach lyrics so you can really see the meaning.

"Words"

They've made me feel like a prisoner
They've made me feel set free
They've made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king

They've lifted my heart
To places I'd never been
And they've dragged me down
Back to where I began

Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

You can heal the heartache
Speak over the fear
(Speak over the fear)
God, Your voice is the only thing
We need to hear
(We need to hear)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Let the words I say
(Let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace
(Sound like Your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

I wanna speak Your love
Not just another noise
Oh, I wanna be Your light
I wanna be Your voice

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Let the words I say
(Let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace
(Sound like Your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts
Or put it out

I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You  

  

People Never Mature

You know how people always say that no one ever truly matures and that everyone has a little bit of a kid insides of them? Well... They were right! 

So in Utah, we have been getting some cold weather; the lowest temperatures have been around -11 degrees. So, it has been cold inside the house as well and no one can go anywhere without a jacket or a blanket wrapped around them. I went walking in the kitchen today and heard some noises coming from the washer and dryer. I was thinking to myself, "What is going on over there?" 

So I walk over to the dryer and see a body, with a black jacket on, half way inside, head first. My first thought, "Oh my gosh! There's a burglar trying to steal my laundry!" But before I could open up a can of butt whopping KA- BAM on this sorry freak... My older sister takes her head out of the dryer and smiles. "It's warm in here," She says.

      My sister is lucky that I waited a minute and saw it was her, other wise I would have gotten the pepper spray out! 

And this is the girl who is going to be serving a mission soon! Ha, can't wait to turn her over to her poor, unsuspecting companions! They might not be as nice to her if they think she is a burglar!

We used to climb inside the dryer all the time when we were kids... Guess she never quite grew out of the habit. 

Anyway, thought this would be fun to blog about! have a great day! 

:D
