Musical Shares-3

This is an absolute MUST listen to song....or at least I think so. I don't even want to try to describe/explain it. Just soak it up. It's by Kim Walker and the lyrics go like this:

He is jealous for me
Love's 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 realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.

Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves.

So we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So 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

That he loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

The Social Part

You may have thought I disappeared from the face of the earth, but I didn't! I am alive and well...doing better than I deserve (to quote Mr. Dave Ramsey). Here are some of the fun things that have taken place in my social life most recently. Early in November, the 3rd, it was my friend Rebekah's birthday! A group of us went out for dinner at Paradiso to celebrate her and had a very good time. (Above: Rebekah being sang to by the Paradiso crew. Below: Rebekah, Leah, me, and Jess)




Leah is a hardcore Bison fan and frequently tells me how much fun the football games are. So, one day she informed me she had gotten me a ticket to go with her to a game...what a friend. We met our friend Jess and other roommate, Ashley, there as well. It really was a good time.
I may have pretended to be a Bison that day but Dragon is in my blood. (Leah drew this sweet tat on me....FYI: The Minnesota State University Moorhead, the school I attend, mascot is the dragon.)
Jess is also hardcore Bison...she even had Bison suckers for us!
The half-time show was put on by the NDSU marching band. They did a song from Batman and formed the Batman sign-we thought it was pretty cool!

Last week Martin Sexton came to Fargo! If you haven't heard his music before, you should definitely check it out-quality stuff. Once again, a group of us got together (we like hanging out) and attended this sweet concert. Another fun time! (L to R: Jordan, Rebekah, me, Leah, Ashley, Tom-up above behind Ashley)
The man himself: Martin Sexton.
The concert was downtown at the Fargo Theatre...sweet place.
