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

| 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.

| Sexual Immorality |
[ | | 06 03 09 - 11:50am] |
|
My fiancé and I are getting married THIS SUNDAY!!!! (That's four days away!) We saved our first kiss all the way up to a couple months ago. We were trying so hard to make it to the wedding day but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. He was my first kiss just like Todd will be Rachel's first kiss. I didn't kiss my other boyfriends either because I wanted my husband to be my first kiss.
I used to impose my beliefs on others about saving their first kiss. Whenever one of my friends told me they had their first kiss, I would be disappointed and felt like something precious had been lost instead of being excited for them.
The rest of this entry will be about what I now feel is approriate and not appropriote for marriage since I've change my views a little bit. Now, this entry is NOT to condemn. It is simply to inform others about my beliefs. I know I've written about this a lot and you're probably sick of it by now, but it's on my heart right now so that's what I'm going to write about.
I believe that lust is a sin. What your body may not be doing physically... your mind is doing mentally. When you give a part of yourself physically to someone, mentally, you're desiring more and maybe even letting it go further in your mind.
What did Jesus have to say on the matter? "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 5:28). So experimenting before marriage with things like topless massages, passionate making out, and all things that aren't technically sex is playing with fire. You're dancing on the line of sexual immorality. The more and more you give away, the less you have to share and enjoy with your spouse when you get married someday. If you do not end up marrying the person you are intimate with, then you will give yourself and your partner images of each other that will never go away. Later, when you're supposed to be enjoying your future spouse, your mind may be thinking of someone in your past which could be very stressful for your spouse and there may be a loss of intimacy in a sense. I don't think pornography, for example, is good in any form because it leaves an image burned in your mind just like being intimate with someone who isn't your spouse would. If you're not married and it turns you on, it's sexual immorality. If you're married and you're looking at pornography, I feel that's a form of cheating because you're enjoying someone else instead of your husband or wife.
Here is a good rule of thumb: Does it cause you to lust? Then it may be a form of sexual immorality and adultery. Mark 7:21-22 is clearly against any kind of sexual immorality and adultery. The marriage bed is to be UNDEFILED. "Let marriage be kept honorable in every way, and the marriage bed undefiled. For God will judge those who commit sexual sins, especially those who commit adultery" (Hebrews 13:4. See also 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and Galatians 5:19-21).
I don't agree with the excuse "it feels good so it must be good. I don't feel guilty." It feels good because God designed to feel good! He also created it to be for marriage, not because He's a big bad God, but because He's looking out for us and wants to protect us from harm. He only wants what is best for us and He knows that sexual things are best enjoyed within the security and comfort of a commited marrital relationship.
I urge you to stay pure (1 Timothy 5:22). Help keep your partner pure too by encouragement and not tempting. It is very clear in the Bible that we should not cause our brothers or sisters in Christ to stumble (Romans 14:13). I love my fiancé too much to cause him to sin. I want him to be pure.
It has been two years since Mathew said, "I want to marry you." We haven't ever touched each other inappropriately or showed skin where it shouldn't be exposed. We don't want to ruin the honeymoon! In four days all this waiting will pay off and be completely worth it because I am marrying the love of my life!!! I am so blessed by God and so excited!!!
Think about how you might feel if you learned that your spouse was intimate with someone else. Would that make you hurt and jealous? Do you think you would feel cheated? The wedding night will still be amazing but imagine how much more precious and tender it would be if it were for the very first time.
Just the simple act of holding hands is such a beautiful/wonderful thing. It gives me so much pleasure and joy. Refrain from sexual behavior until after the wedding. If you're not ready for marriage, then you're not ready for sex or anything that leads to sex. God will reward you and bless you for remaining pure until marriage. He promises in His Word!
Side note: Do you know what bothers me? When someone comes to a fellow believer in trust and confidence for advice with a sin they struggle with, and that person judges him or spreads gossip about him. What are we, in middle school? If you have a friend who is struggling with something, please don't condemn him/her. Jesus did not condemn so neither should you. If your friend is opening up to you about it, then he/she wants your advice. Jesus said, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone."

| My style |
[ | | 05 28 09 - 11:08pm] |
Someday I will decorate my future home with Damask and Paisley wallpaper.
 
I think someday I'd like a red bed like this...
But I kind of dig the metallic style...
This is what our bathroom looks like:
And here's our shower curtain. It's my favorite room of the house! (And the only one that we're pretty much done decorating.)
Ok I REALLY REALLY WANT this!!!!!! I don't know if I should get it though. At Pier 1, you can get it now and pay for it in a year with no interest. I really need something for my clothes, you know? I can't take the bureau I have now because that's my parents'. I've always wanted a vanity.
Lingerie chest
Orig. $499.95 NOW $249.98
Nightstand
Orig. $249.95 NOW $129.98
Vanity table, chair, and mirror.
Orig. $99.95 - $349.95 NOW $49.98 - $229.98

| My weekend with Leah |
[ | | 05 27 09 - 3:20pm] |
My weekend:
LEAH came to visit! My roommie from Cedarville senior year.
Monday: Leah came to the conference. Probably the best conference ever. We learned about rewards in heaven and gnashing of teeth when we don't use our gifts from God for His glory here on earth. We ate lots of good food, fellowshipped with amazing people, played volleyball, capture the flag (my favorite game!) and went for a two mile run. (My legs are KILLING me!) Then we sang worship songs around the campfire. We spent the night at my NEW APARTMENT in Westerly!!!
Tuesday: We went to my Excellent Wife Bible Study and then we went to the mall and returned some gifts that were the same from my wedding shower. (We got about five things that were duplicates.) Next we helped move my sister's belongings into our basement. Then we had ice cream and chocolate and watched a movie called "Bella." It was a sweet and touching movie. Leah got me Crest white strips for my wedding present and we did our nails because Leah's going on a missions trip to Cambodia and they value nice nails over there. Leah gave me a massage and then we went to bed.
Wednesday: We woke up and went for a run. I wanted to show her my wedding dress but the store was closed so we walked around in a furniture store and kind of just dreamed about how we'd decorate if we had the mula. Then Leah had to leave because she was going to her aunt's house.
It was sad because having Leah here was sooooooo great. It was like having a friend there constantly to keep me company, encourage me, and giggle with. I miss her a lot.

| Can't Sleep |
[ | | 05 12 09 - 12:38am] |
|
I can't sleep because my mind is thinking of all the things that I have to do before the wedding. There is much to be done and only 27 days to do it in!!! So I got up to do something better with my time than wasting it in bed not sleeping.

Check out this link! An atheist in Kansas City has advertised himself on Craigs List to take care of Christians' pets after they are raptured to heaven.
I stumbled upon this bizarre website whilst looking for artwork of the rapture.

| Magic Moment |
[ | | 05 08 09 - 2:39pm] |
|
My dad just came in with something behind his back. "You'll never guess," he said. I had no idea what was behind his back but I said, "Flowers?" Thinking I was completely off. "BUTTERCUPS!" He said and then he placed them in my hand and kissed me on the cheek. Then he kind of sauntered off with a dopey grin and went outside to mow the lawn. I was left with a feeling of pure joy I cannot explain. It was definitely one of the most amazing moments I have felt in a loooong time.
