Oh How He Loves Us

Happy Thursday everybody! I know today is the second day in a row that I've done song lyrics...but I absolutely have to share this. This song has gripped my heart and blesses me in a new way everytime I hear it. It's "How He Loves Us" ...alot of different people sing it but my favorite version is The David Crowder Band version.
Here are the lyrics:
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these
afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just
how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these
afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realise just
how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

And we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If his grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
And heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…

He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

Guys, I am so taken aback by how much our Jesus loves us. We don't deserve His grace and mercy and forgiveness and love, yet He gives it to us in ways more than we can even imagine...and we never even asked for it.
This is truly a happy thought for me that will carry out throughout my life. I will always be amazed and thankful for my Saviors love.

Comment your thoughts and feelings.

With love and laughter,
Kellee

Oh, how He loves us so...Oh how He loves...

Let It Go

Kay, so a friend of mine told me about this song today. Its called "Let it go" by Tenth Avenue North, and I love them so I thought I'd listen to it.
Here's the lyrics:

I've been holding on so tight
Look at these knuckles
They've gone white
I'm fighting for who I wanna be
I'm just trying to find security

But You say let it go, You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say you will be, everything I need
You said if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go.

Well it's hard enough to hear Harder still,
to move beyond this fear
We know there's nothing I can bring,
So tell me what do you want from me?

But You say let it go, You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say You will be, everything I need
You said if I lose my life it's then I'll find my sou
lYou say let it go, You say let it go

What do I love?
What do I hate?
What will I lose?
What will I gain?
How do I save my soul?
What if I bend?
What if I break?
What will it cost
?What will it take?
For you to save my soul.

You say let it go, You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say You will be, everything I need
You said if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go, You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say you will be, everything I need
You said if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soulYou say let it go,
You say let it go

This song really touched my heart. It made me realize that sometimes i hold on to stuff in life that I just need to let go. I hold on to fears, and past mistakes, and past heartache...and while those things have made me who I am today, it's time to just release it all. It's time to let go of worrying about all kinds of stuff that God is going to take care of. Time to let go of wondering what people will say about me, of what people think. Time to start just living and every moment count, and to just live it out loud.

That is what this song said to me, what does it mean to yall?
"Life is waiting for the ones who lose control..."

Highschool!!

Hey everybody. I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I have been busy. Well I'm back, and HappyBubbles shall continue, cause who else is gona write about this beautiful life we're living? So since the last time I blogged I have become an official highschooler and I am loving every single minute of it. Highschool is like the stuff, guys.Let me exhibit the differences between Middle School, and Highschool:
1. You get to eat, drink, and chew gum in class.
2. The restroom signs say "women" and "men" instead of "girls" and "boys"
3. The baskets under your desk are bigger!
4. The milk comes in bottles and not cartons!
5. You get to wear jeans with holes in them! Unlike middle school!

If anyone can think of any other great Highschool things, just comment.

3 Year Olds...They're On To Something :)

So the other night I went on a babysitting adventure! haha. I watched precious twins, Chloe and Kinley, and their cute little cousin Collins. As I hung out with them, I was continually amazed by their imagination and the way they think the simplest thing is also the most amazing thing ever. They would walk around the house saying "Lets jump!" and then they'd just jump in the air, and then come back down laughing their heads off. It was precious. It made me realize that sometimes we just need to jump in the air, and come back down laughing. Instead of taking ourselves seriously, we need to just be amazed sometimes. I'm a very easily amused and amazed person, and alot of people tell me that I need to get a life, and get out more. But truth is, i love being the way I am. Life is more fun when you laugh at knock knock jokes, and when you think that a toaster has super powers. So join me. This week I challenge you to laugh something off, and be easily amazed by something instead of thinking "so what". This week i challenge you to channel your inner 4 year old, and have a blast with it!

Man's Best Friend

So Thursday, July 2nd was supposed to be an amazing day for me. Because I got my braces off, and that was totally exciting. But just as we were leaving the orthodontist...we get a call that one of my doggies (Lizzie...the other one's name is Roscoe) is missing. So long story short, we searched and searched and put tons of signs up. 3 days went by and we really didn't think we were going to get her back. Well, last night, we were at some friends house...and my mom gets a call. Someone has Lizzie. So we sped our way to McDonalds (the meeting place) and got our baby girl back. I was sooo happy. Lizzie is a special dog...she loves everybody. Shes Zach's playmate, Mom's cuddle buddy, Dad's bundle of happiness, and My best friend (hehe). So when we got her back, we were all so excited.
While she was gone, we all had to keep reminding ourselves that we hadn't lost a relative, and that alot of people around us are going through some pretty rough times. But when she was gone, it felt like we lost a family member. Because we did. If you have dogs you love, you understand what I mean. There's just something about them that warm your heart and put a smile on your face. Maybe it's the way they cock their head to the side, kiss your nose, or seem to just be screaming "pet me! pet me! im cute!". There's something about them that make us fall in love with them, something about them that just breaks our hearts. A dog can be your friend, your running buddy, or just a companion to you watch movies with. Great Dane, Beagle, Golden Retriever, Cockapoo...and everything in between....Dogs really are man (and womans!) best friend.

Dressing Up

So, two nights ago I had a friend over to spend the night (Celena). We were sitting in my room about 2:00 AM and wanting something fun to do. So, we just started taking pictures with funny faces and just being silly and stuff. Then, we started dressing up with random items of clothing in my room. We took pictures of being super stars....emo kids...cow girls...and more. We had a blast. Now, I bet you're like "I don't really care what you and your friend did spending the night together"...but I promise there's a point to the story!
It doesn't matter how old you are, or how "cool" you are...you are never to old or to cool to play dress up with your friends and have a silly photo shoot. Some of life's greatest times come when you act younger than you really are...when you don't care what you look like...and when you just laugh at the simplest things. So sometime within the next week, I challenge you to have some fun doing something you haven't done in a long time. Play dress up, run through a sprinkler, or blow bubbles...be a kid. I don't care if you're 19 or 62. You never know what you might get out of it :).

With Love and Laughter,
Kellee

Doggy Tails

So, the other day, I was petting one of my poochies, Lizzie. Her tail was going a mile a minute...and the thought occured to me... "Do dogs wag their tail on purpose or do they have a happy sensor in their tails?". You know what I'm saying? Like is it like a human's smile, completely voluntary, or is it like an involuntary movement? Is there a sensor in our doggie's tails that knows when the dog is happy...so the tail wags? This is a question I ask myself constantly...does anyone have any thoughts on this? Happy Sensors In Dog Tails...the world may never know.
