~~~~~THOUGHTS ON A SUNDAY MORNING~~~~~ I Just Want You, Lord

I JUST WANT YOU, LORD

I could have fortune and fame- go anywhere do anything
But oh God, I just want You
I could search for earthly things- to satisfy my every need
Oh God, I just want You

I just want You, I just want You
I just wanna live in Your presence everyday
I lay down my will and every selfish desire
Whatever it takes, Father that's what I'll do
'Cause I just want You

Standing in this holy place- I'm here to seek Your face
Oh God, I just want You
Can You feel the passion in my heart- to be close to where You are
Oh God, I just want You
 

I just want You, I just want You
I just wanna live in Your presence everyday
I lay down my will and every selfish desire
Whatever it takes, Father that's what I'll do
'Cause I just want You

Blessings to you today as you spend time in His presence.

Love to you...

~OREO SIN~

 OK Peeps!  Here's the skinny...

 

On the rare occasion my Mr. AGPMan is out of town I never share it publicly for obvious reasons.  So...all this week while I've been snowed in here in my La Chaumière de Briarwood I've been alone.  My guy left the morning the winter storm hit and since Monday I haven't even attempted to leave our home!  I hunkered down all by my lonesome, but truthfully have nearly gone totally stir-crazy bonkers INSANE while waiting for my hubby to return!  This Cali native doesn't do so well when she can't get out and about...  Friday night and the return of my "He Can Do Anything Man" couldn't get here fast enough for me!

  Midday yesterday I found out that my Baber's plane was probably not going to make it home on schedule.  He's been in Washington, DC, on business and it was his flight to Dallas that was in question.  :(  Bummer!  BUMMER I SAY!

 Anyway...if you've been a reader of my blog for any time at all you know I started Weight Watchers a couple days after Christmas.  I've been doing awesome (AWESOME I SAY) and LOVE LOVE LOVE their new Points Plus Program (and I'm down almost 20lbs).  When my hubby told me about all the canceled flights I nearly died!  So-o-o-o-o-o-o-o...in a moment of weakness

I Ates-Meez-A-Chocolate-Dipped-Oreo-Cookie 

and I'll have you know that single little confection just cost me five big ones (Weight Watchers Points)!

   Now...that may not mean very much to you but when you're only allowed to consume twenty-nine points per day (not including Flex Points) blowing five of them on ONE MEASLY NON-FILLING COOKIE is crazy-stupid!

 Somebody slap me, pleeze!!!!  Good thing I don't have a weakness for truly worldly-type pleasures.  My sincere disappointment over not seeing my hubbs last night could have led to my total demise!

 

So I ask you...do you think an extra 15 minutes on my exercise bike was enough to absolve me of my Oreo Sin?

  

Love to you from the ever shrinking (and healthy-bound!)

JUST BE THERE~

(written by Paula Bray)

(First Song on My PlayList)

Cradled in my arms I held you

And I loved you more with each day passing by

 Sharing joy, sharing pain

 Through the sunshine and the rain

   I can’t believe your grown and on your own

   I don’t know what the future brings you

    But I hope that you’ll keep Heaven as your goal

    For we’ve taught you how to pray

We made sure you knew the way

 So remember my request before you go

 

Just be there

When I finally make it home

And I stand before the throne

Just be there

When I look around to see

If you are standing next to me

Just be there.

It’s not an easy road you’re travelin’
But every place you go Jesus has been

And when you find you’ve made a turn

Forgetting what you’ve learned

You may have to start all over again

  It’s not an easy load you’re bearin’

But the trials of your faith will make you strong
Facing dangers unaware

  He won’t allow what you can’t bear
So my prayer is that your faith will bring you home

Just be there
When I finally make it home

And I stand before the throne
Just be there

When I look around to see

 

If you are standing next to me

Just be there

Will you be standing next to me?
Just be there...
