MY FIRST POST

**Clears Throat** First of all, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all of you who have come to know me over the last several months. I love you all very much, and I thank God for each of you.

Well, that was somewhat formal, but yeah, it's so true. :D!

The music you should be hearing is “You Raise Me Up” from the Celtic Woman CD (Manhattan Records). The vast majority of my ancestry is Scotch-Irish, so I'm naturally drawn to any Gaelic, Celtic, etc. music. I can't help it; it's in my blood! ^_^ If you can't hear it please let me know, so I can fix it. Thanks! The song is over four minutes long, but it's worth sticking around long enough to hear the whole thing. Check it out!

Whenever, I hear this song, I can't help but think of Jesus, and how He walks with each of us every day, as we face life's inevitable struggles (and triumphs!). Here it is:



YOU RAISE ME UP


When I am down, and oh my soul's so weary,
When troubles come, and my heart burdened be,
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit a while with me.

[Refrain]

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains.
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders.
You raise me up to more than I can be.



I'm glad you all didn't see the mess of a blog that used to be here before you came! Lol. I was doing all kinds of experimentation to try to get it to look the way I wanted it to. Then I blew it all away, because it was still going to take a lot more time to fully customize it that way. :P!

I'd really like to give it a Star Wars theme. Say, maybe have some spaceships flying across the screen too, like Lysha had those snow flakes drifting over her blog. :D!

I am so busy in school these days. (ugh!) I'm trying to graduate by the end of the summer (Yay!), so you might not see many posts from me. Please be patient. For though I tarry, surely I will come and post again!

In Christ,
Aslan
