I'll Fly Away
Some glad morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away
Oh, how glad and happy when we meet
I’ll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I’ll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away

Someday
The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Wait
The Afters
Wait, I can hardly wait
To look into Your face
When the world disappears
Into Your eyes
Wait, I can hardly wait
To hear Your sweet voice say
You've done well
My good and faithful son
Breathe, I can hardly breathe
In anticipation
Waiting for the day to come
When You will shine on me
Wait, I can hardly wait
To bow down at Your feet
Kiss the scars
That bore my sins away
Breathe, I can hardly breathe
In anticipation
Waiting for the day to come
When You will shine on me
Wait, I can hardly wait

I'm taking a break from livejournal. Maybe forever. It was a really great learning tool for me, it helped me grow a lot, and I met wonderful people here who are still good friends. But it has hindered relationships and I've even lost them too and I don't wish to lose anymore friendships. From now on, my conversations are taking place face to face (or on the phone) where it has less a chance of crashing and burning.

| A letter to you |
[ | | 10 07 09 - 5:09pm] |
As you got up this morning,
I watched you and hoped you would talk to Me,
even if it was just a few words,
asking My opinion or thanking Me for
something good that happened in your life yesterday -
but I noticed you were too busy
trying to find the right outfit to put on
and wear to work.
I waited again.
When you ran around the house getting ready
I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello,
but you were too busy.
At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes
with nothing to do except sit in a chair.
Then I saw you spring to your feet.
I thought you wanted to talk to Me
but you ran to the phone and called a friend
to get the latest gossip.
I watched as you went to work
and I waited patiently all day long.
With all your activities
I guess you were too busy
to say anything to Me.
I noticed that before lunch
you looked around,
maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to Me,
that is why you didn't bow your head.
You glanced three or four tables over
and you noticed some of your friends
talking to Me briefly before they ate, but you didn't.
That's okay. There is still more time left,
and I have hope that you will talk to Me...
yet you went home
and it seems as if you had
lots of things to do.
After a few of them were done you turned on the TV,
I don't know if you like TV or not,
just about anything goes there
and you spent a lot of time each day
in front of it,
not thinking about anything -
just enjoying the show.
I waited patiently again
as you watched the TV and ate your meal...
but again you didn't talk to Me.
Bedtime - I guess you felt too tired.
After you said goodnight to your family
you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time.
That's okay
because you may not realize
that I am always there for you.
I've got patience
more than you will ever know.
I even want to teach you
how to be patient with others as well.
I love you so much
that I wait everyday for a nod,
prayer or thought or a thankful part of your heart.
It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.
Well you are getting up again and once again I will wait with nothing but love for you hoping that today you will give me some time.
Have a nice day!
Your friend,
GOD

| Covetousness |
[ | | 09 24 09 - 9:55am] |
Well, tomorrow is Thursday and you know what that means... (or maybe you don't.) My beloved husband will be leaving me for two and a half to three weeks. All alone in that big empty house without him to protect me and keep me company. I've been so lonely for him this week while he worked late hours and now I won't even have those few hours at the end of the day with him for a long time. However, the good news is that in just 29 days, he will be out of the Navy for good!!!
The bad news is, the pressure is on. My husband has one month to find a job before we'll probably be thrown into the street. If he does find a job, praise the Lord, but I have only three months to find a job too or else I will not be able to pay off my college loans. The search for a job this week is going no better than last week. No one is hiring around here. Not even Wal*Mart. I've advertised myself as a nanny online and I've gotten two interviews scheduled except that someone else snagged the job before my day even came.
Lonliness has preyed upon me and tried to strangle me with its cold fingers. But I keep myself busy with the sewing of my quilt, the crocheting of my blanket, and the scrapbooks that I am making for my sisters' 16th birthdays. What I'd really like to do is write my novel. I've tried writing it many times before but these computers at the library only give you so many minutes to work with. What I need is a good long day to sit down without any interuptions and just write my heart out for hours. I've been thinking about what I'd like to write about and it's all up in my head. I just have to write it. Part of me wants to use the money I've saved to buy a computer, but the other part of me is being frugal and knows that I will need that money desperately if either Mat or I do not find a job any time soon.
I never thought that this economy would effect me because I always thought that I'd be safe and protected and thriving. I know Mat will take good care of me, he always has, and I know I need to trust the Lord because He'll always provide... but I still struggle with covetousness when it comes to that computer.
I saw the movie "10 Commandments" today. (The computer animated version.) It wasn't all that great compared to "Prince of Egypt" but at least it was more biblically accurate. It definitely challenged and humbled me when the part came that read off the 10 Commandments. I definitely don't measure up. I never thought I had a problem with number 10... but then I looked up the word in the dictionary and sure enough, I think that's me. It seems harmless though, doesn't it?
Covetousness: Marked by extreme desire to acquire or possess.

| Sewing |
[ | | 08 31 09 - 2:49pm] |
I started a new hobby. I sew! I started sewing at Quilts & More in Westerly and I made a purse and a dress. I'm starting to make another dress and other purse and maybe I'll sell them for money! :-) Some people already saw my work and want to purchase them. A very kind woman named Patty who I met in my quilting class just GAVE ME her sewing machine out of the kindness of her heart. It's not even a junky, unwanted sewing machine... it's a really nice Bernette 715, worth about $130 on ebay. I named her Bernadette (after her brand name) and she and I are going to be great friends.
I'll upload pictures later of what I've worked on so far.
And now a little bit of daily advice from me:
Burn the candles, use the silk sheets, wear the fancy lingerie, break out the bone china... Life is too short to save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

| Dannielle's Song by Joanna Albert |
[ | | 07 25 09 - 1:26pm] |
Here is the song that Joanna wrote for me and sang as her "maid-of-honor speech" at my wedding reception.
"Dannielle's Song"
We packed a lunch, and biked to Timber Ridge for a picnic; just you and me.
Ride home and play on the swingset on the "wings"
We go inside and play Oregon Trail on the bunkbed,
but we're hungry
We gotta decide who is gonna find out what is for dinner
So you say
(Chorus)
I'll go and you stay
It's dangerous out there, and I wanna keep you save
I'll be back before you know it
And I'll tell you what I have learned
I'll go and you stay
And I'll tell you what I have learned
2004, Good-bye Brown and White, throw your cap up in the air
Can't believe you've made it, Mrs. Grasso's class was so long ago
Seems like yesterday
You're off to college, Cedarville University, so far away
Van's packed, Mom's ready, but we're hugging with our last good-byes
I'm going to miss you
But you say
(Chorus)
Wearing your white gown, getting ready to
Take the walk, say your vows
I knew you'd find this man someday, the one that God
Made just for you, Mat Buckley!
You say "I do," change your name, go on a honeymoon
Start a new life as a wife
That room will be so empty
Who am I going to talk to late at night?
And you say
(Chorus)
All my favorite memories I made with you, my sister
Where were you on the night of Mr. McCall's murder?
I didn't do it, or did I?
Do I know you from somewhere? Got the chicken pox, jump on the bed
I'll always remember when a Barbie fell into the bloody water
Then you say
(Chorus)
Shalalalalalala Shalalalalalala Shalalalalalala
This song has so many inside jokes that no one else would get. It brought tears to my eyes! I wish you could hear it put to music.

| First Entry as Mrs. Buckley |
[ | | 07 13 09 - 10:40am] |
Jehovah's Witnesses came to my door this morning before 9 AM which is when I wake up every day. I was so disappointed that I wasn't there when they knocked because for years I've been studying what they believe and figuring out what I would say to one of them if I ever met one.
Yesterday, my pastor died. Please pray for his family who is greiving at this time. I am doing well. I haven't yet cried. I got teary-eyed, but I didn't cry. It's because I'm happy that he is with his Maker now and in no more pain.
