Songs from the Heart

two bagels burned...I give up!

2008-01-07T09:11:00.000-08:00

this morning in the mist of trying to get ready I thought I would get alittle breakfest so I could take my pills. So I poped a bagel in the toster oven.... well I didn't watch and I forgot about it and it was to burnt to eat so I poped another on in....I have not yet taken my pills and I am still have not had breakfest. I don't know why, but I felt like I need to write this down. So if you needed a laugh her ya go!

Mrs. Erin I am learning sign to some songs and When I finish I will send a video tape to you of me signing/singing them! its alot of fun and I am really excited about it!

I havn't been writing a lot of poem lately... but at christmas I went up to TN to see my "Nanny" and this is the first christmas my "granddaddy" wasn't there. So this is what I wrote one night I was up there..... I wouldn't say its my best work but it cam from the heart!

Good bye...

I woke up just an ordinary day,
but that day was when my whole life changed.
I never would of guessed that someone I loved
would have left to be with our Father that day.
When they finally woke me up that morning
to tell me the news it hit me you weren’t there anymore.
As I sat there and cried I remembered
how long it had been before I had last seen you.
I know I couldn’t help it but I always thought you’d be there
when I was healed……

……I am sitting here thinking of him and his love
and I’m wondering if he new he was all alone when he died.
I think about him often and I wonder that all the time.
Yes I cry sometimes but I know he is in a better place.
He is better off with God.
He is not in pain anymore and he gets to be with our Lord and savoir. But my only regret is that I didn’t get to say good bye.
That’s what makes me cry.
But I know I’ll see him again someday….

Love you all!

I just got MY FIRST PAIR OF POINT SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also Just made treble choir! which is awesome as well. I am gone all day Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and mostly Friday and Sunday.....so LOTS of school on Tuesdays and Saturdays and I fit the rest in before bed at night. Life is hard too though. There is some hard shocking stuff going on with one of my "sisters In Christ" you really never know what's in Gods plan I am telling ya...... Also just the normal Teenage drama...*sigh* I get sick of being the "voice of reason" but it's better then being the one with the drama....well I guess I will stop randomly talking about nothing and go to bed....

SORRRRRRRRY! LONG OVER DO!

2007-10-23T15:58:00.000-07:00

My title shows how sorry I am? I don't get on the pc much and when I do its on Facebook so I really havn't been on bloggerr much. I just have been SO BUSSSSSSSY! with school.

Ok dance out side of TAFA I am not doing anymore the crazy so called "christian" lady who ran it was taking our money out of the bank with out asking and Signing me up for classes I couldn't nor wanted to do. So it's amaizing how poeple say there Christians then act like that But without the grace of God we would all be the same. Not that I am saying I am perfect or anything.

TAFA is awesome! I love it but I am there from 10 am to 5 pm so it's a long day and its hard to get school done. But I am LOVING teaching dance and taking it lol! I am going to Washington D.C. for sure now!not with dance but choir.

English class is alot of fun but SO MUCH HOME WORK! the home work Mrs. Lambert gives me is more then all my other school together but its just english!! its crazy! I hardly get it all done but I do.

David is playing soccer now! HE IS AWESOME! I mean he is like really good and he hasn't played on a team in YEARS. He plays keeper and forword and some times Defence. But I think keeper is his fave and my fav to watch him play, haha like that matters.

Micah just took the PSAT! we don't know his score yet but he thinks he did fine....but all in all this test does not really matter....But he learned alot and thats what matters! He has been awesome even though he was had all this other homework....(he is also taking from Mrs. Lambert and trying to learn to drive plus all his other work.) I don't see how he did it.

Well that was a pretty big update....are ya happy? lol I am sorry! I have been so bad!!!! Love you guys! And in case Erin Gerlt is reading this I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me and Caitlin had fun making fun of other ppl jumping and screeming and such then we started to cause it was fun even though we wert really that into them lol well we got a Sonic slush on the way home it was awesome!

TAFA. School, Dance! Washington D.C. and THE GERLTS ARE GONE! cries

2007-08-28T20:52:00.000-07:00

OK so to start of I would just like to say THE GERLTS MOVED!!!! I am SO sad!!!!! but I am happy for them too! they moved just for 4 months for mr. Chads job a.k.a. Chick fel a! *by the way this is the family i am learning how to sign with!* so please pray for them!

So school started and I am WAY! to busy! I am so tired and sore all the time. So something had to go....dance class twice a week plus TAFA ballet was to much dance...But! now i have Tafa ballet and i am only gonna dance ones a week at the other place! so i still get to go there but ill be in a better class too! because the class I was in I was the best one and was waiting around half the time waiting for the other girls to get it right....But the teacher just went on and on how i reminded her why she loved to teach! that I was just the one of the best dance students! that i was always smiling and that she could tell I just loved to dance! and that I just corrected and fixed everything She told me too! so that was Awesome to hear!!!!

Also in Tafa I am helping in two classes as you know, and in one the teacher is going out of town the first Monday in October and she asked if I would teach the class while she was gone! LIKE ALL MY MY SELF! TEACH 8-9 year olds ballet! I said I would love to but is that ok with every body and the parents and everything? and she was like oh yeah you can definitely do it! I was like GREAT! so please pray i don't mess this up cause I do when I graduate from Tafa want to get a teaching ballet job! so this is a good step!
~choir is also great although I am singing Alto and I HATE!!!!! Alto!I can sing it but I just would rather sing the boring melody!! but so far I am sitting by some good friends of mine! and I am close to Jonathan Cole he is like one person away from me *he goes to my church*..even when he is a little disrespectful....sometimes I laugh....lol Nothing bad just...makes Jokes when we are soppost to be quiet. The teacher doesn't notice, So at least he does it quietly.

Ok for Tafa Ballet I am going on a trip to Washington D.C.!!!!! all the highest groups from TAFA are going!!!! 2bands 2choirs and then My ballet!!!! but its like $700 to go....so I am trying to raise money like Crazy!!! I am selling Jam! so far with that I have made almost $100 and its been almost a month. Also I am going to have a yard sale next weekend so if anyone has something to donate for it I would love to have it!!!!!!

Well I think this has been long enough but I am going to post some of my new poems too! one of them is really weird but the title explains it...lol and the last one you have to read the whole thing or it sounds like I am gonna kill my self or something ...:-p

Love Faith E.
P.S. Faith E. is my new writers name lol! my full name is Faith Elizabeth Brown so that explains the E and every one calls me Faithy so yeah!

My Poem
By Faith Elizabeth Brown
August-18th-2007

There were days all I could do was sit, by my self, in my room.
There were nights I couldn’t sleep so I cried in stead.

But look at me now, God took the suffering away.
The suffering that made me who I am today.
I’m living life again, only closer to Christ, who for me, His life He sacrificed. I love my Lord, my God now more then I ever new I could love.

The pain I felt, the sufferings I went through.
Only God will ever know.
It was all in His plan and He was always there.
Although sometimes I admit I wasn’t sure, I know He was there with me. I grew with him through it all.

The weeks I couldn’t even lay down, all the things I wasn’t able to do. I see now it was all worth it, just to be closer to you.

And now as you’ve healed me and I’m writing this poem….I can’t stop crying thinking of all the blessings and love you’ve shown.

~And I pray you continue to strengthen me - Faith Brown

Random thoughts…..
August 26th 2007

How the weeks been hard…..
Awkward embracement, thoughts about ended friendships, and trying to get along with the other people living in the house.

How do they survive? Those people that don’t know Christ.
How do they live with all the frustration and discouragement with out knowing God’s there, and He is going to take care of everything? With out knowing there is a better place away from all this? with out that feeling ?

How do I describe the feeling?......I can’t really except to say its just understanding….understanding that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sin. He was perfect and he died for me, and some day I will be in Heaven with Him. It’s so powerful.

So how do people live there lives with out even knowing there is such a feeling? I do not know.

And then how come God blessed me with this understanding? I am not special…but I am a sinner. So how? Why? The only answer I can give ….Because I am His!

The joys of Dieing
August-26th-2007

Some days are so great I can’t keep the smiles away.
Some days are so hard I just want to cry.
But yet there is always comfort in knowing some day I’ll die.
As bad as that sounds, it really is not.
It’s just the understanding that this life is not all I’ve got.

As good as life gets, thoughs days I don’t cry.
I still think about the joys when I die.
That place in the sky, I can only imagine.
Where the crying and the pain will pass way
But the happiness and Love will always stay.
With God I’ll be, the one who saved me

His name is Jesus, the one I get to praise, every hour of every day
I can’t think of anything I’d rather do! then oh Lord, my God, praise you!

Until then I’ll do as best as I can, to be like you, and trust that all things are in your hands.

When He Returns

By Faith Elizabeth Brown May 13, 2006

Whenever I feel discouraged, depressed, or upset,
I remember that He’s always with me, and that he paid my debt.
Whenever I feel angry or confused,
I remember that my sin held Him on that cross.

His sinless life, He suffered because of me,
Son of man who died and rose again on day three,
I can’t help but be feeling guilty
When I deserve death, HE chose to save me.

When I wake up the next morning feeling a little better,
All through the day I remember there is something better.
Although I don’t know exactly what it will be like,
I can’t wait till He returns.

His sinless life, He suffered because of me,
Son of man who died and rose again on day three,
I can’t help but be feeling guilty,
When I deserve death He chose to save me.
When He returns I’ll be ready.

pics of celebrate freedom!

Well I know this post is long over do…. But I have been busy (I know where have I heard that
be for?)

So when Emily was here we has So much fun! Her and her family came over for dinner one night and she spent the night! We stayed up till midnight talking, it was a blast! We also went to Six flags one day Oh it had been so long sense I had been there. It was So much fun; I have to say that The Batman and The Shockwave are the best. The Titan was closed so I did not get to ride it…. I … .uh…. Didn’t chicken out…. But no it really was closed.

The next week we went to TN. To move my Nanny in to AST. Living and Micah and David went home with my Aunt and Uncle to Atlanta Georgia for a week. I got to go see Gracie and Nancy Drew and I got to go shopping for new cloths. I went to lunch with my mom and Dad one day. Oh and I spend one day with Hannah! It was great! But I was glad to have the boy’s back home! Even though I did enjoy the quiet.

Well on Friday night I went to Celebrate freedom with Caleb, Jenny, Micah and my friend Ruth. I CAN’T WAIT!!! If you don’t know what it is…. It’s a concert for a bunch of different Christian bands. But its also for the 4th of July (even though its not on the forth of July) so its on this Big Ranch, there will be LOTS of people there. Well long story short because of all the rain and everything we had to ride a bus after we parked to get there and we waited in the line for over a hour and we had to meet my mom at 11 so we had to leave pretty soon. But i got to her a few bands that i did not really know and then we had to leave Right b4 Barlogirl and Skillet. I was really sad and Casting Crowns, Selah, and Tobymac are on tonight i don't get to go....so it was not great but it was free and so ill try again next year if it has not been raining for a month.

well Enjoy the pics!

Well in closing I would like to say that No one is commenting on the Girl Blog so when you get done reading this Go check it out and Comment!!!!!!!!!!! I will try to update again soon!

Awesome song

2007-05-18T12:28:00.000-07:00

Ok I LOVE the band casting crowns and i love pretty much all of their songs but here is one of my faves.....

Who Am I

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
would care to know my name would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I, that the bright and morning star
would chose to light the way for my ever wandering heart.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done,
Not because of what I've done,
but because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading
here today and gone tomorrow
a Wave tossed in the ocean
a vapor in the wind
still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord you catch me when I'm falling
And you told me who I am
I am Yours, I am yours

Who am i, that the eyes that see my sin
would look on me with Love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the see
would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done,
Not because of what I've done,
but because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading
here today and gone tomorrow
a Wave tossed in the ocean
a vapor in the wind
still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord you catch me when I'm falling
And you told me who I am

I am yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
Cause I am yours
I am yours

The verses the have for this song are Psalms 139 / Psalms52 / Ephesians2

God Bless,

Faith

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

2007-04-23T21:34:00.000-07:00

Ok two years ago b4 i got sick I was soppost to move up to the Highest Ballet class at TAFA but me and my teacher thought it would be best for me to stay down another semester because my skin was getting bad well that turned in to two years and i pretty much heard from my teacher that she did not think i was ready this next year too. It broke my heart you May not understand why that would upset me so much but I have been Dancing sense i was 4 and it has been my goal for all these years to just keeping moving up in it and i was not able to even move for months. It was very hard something my mother says all the time *you can never just walk you dance every where you go* lol its true. Well I told my teacher that i Trusted her to move me up when she thought i was ready. Well I am SO excited to say that I AM FINALLY MOVING UP! I found out today! Some of my good friends are moving up too!!!!!! I am so happy that my life is getting back to normal. God is Good and He has brought me through this stronger then ever! as hard as its been as much as i have suffered I would not change any of it. Because it has made me who i am today and most importantly God wanted it and it was for My good And HIS GLORY!!!! He knows best!

God bless you all!

I love you!

P.S. this song is kinda sad i wrote it in my deepest of sufferings but i thought it fit with the post even though i am SO HAPPY

God’s Here to Stay
By Faith Elizabeth Brown
3 May 2006
I’m so tired of feeling this way.
I know I should be thankful for this day.
Seems like this feeling never goes away.
I don’t know why I feel so much like I need to cry,
But sometimes I just want to die.
I know that’s a bit extreme
It’s not something I really mean,
But it’s just hard to live this way
And maybe sometimes it’s all in my head,
But this feeling is still not gone away.
But I’ll be Okay, God’s here to stay always with me
And I’ll believe in Him till my days come to an end
And that’s good enough.
It should be good enough for me.
This feeling gets better each and everyday,
Maybe it’s not here to stay.
So I just keep trusting in His name and say--
I’ll be Okay, God’s here to stay always with me
And I’ll believe in Him till my days come to an end
And that’s good enough.
It should be good enough for me.

SO DO I
BY FAITH ELIZABETH BROWN
MAY 11 06

Do you want to cry? Do you just want to lay down and die?
And do you always wonder why, Well so do I.
Do you want to scream, is there no one for you to lean on,
Does it seem like no one cares or that no one’s there?
Well Im scared too.
Even though you believe in Him,
Some times your not certain where or when He’s really there,
Well I feel the same fear.
Are you always the one to blame,
Are you the only one who feels this pain,
And does it always remain the same,
It’s hard to stand I know.
It’s hard to know God will never go,
And that He will always show His love from above,
Do you feel like you are always being shoved,
Well so do I.
But I remember that Jesus died on the cross to save me
He suffered and now so do I.

ALL OF ME
By Faith Brown
11/4/06

This feeling I’ve had before,
I’m happy but anxious for more,
The days I feel so bad they’re not so many,
So I don’t feel so sad but all of ME’s not glad.
I’m not fully healed,
Still disappointment knocks on my hearts door,
I try to trust in God, He’ll heal me when He’s ready,
I just want my life to go steady,
To do the things I use to do,
But Lord I will keep trusting in you.
Soon I’ll be ok,
I’ll be the same I was before these hard days,
So I will lift up my praise to the one that saves,
I will look to Him because I know He’s there,
And I will know longer live in Fear.

My Granddaddy

2007-01-31T21:29:00.000-08:00

Well My Granddaddy Died he was 84 so he had a good life fallowing Christ. I know a lot of you already know this but i have been working on this for a while and it is done now. My grandmother now is in TN. by her self she does not want to move in with us she lives in a apartment for old ppl is pretty much what it is. So she has lots of friends and ppl that live there to take care of here but still she needs prayer. She took my granddaddys death very well she trusted in God the hole time we were there we could see that. but she is not doing well she just says in her room by her slef all day every day and we are very worryed about her but we cant go up there al the time cause it is very hard for me to travel in the car that long. Its really hard not to be with her though. We are planing a trip this month so please keep us in your prayers.

The Hiding Place

2007-01-12T09:17:00.000-08:00

First have any of you read the book or seen the movie THE HIDING PLACE? I have done both. I love them and if you have not read or seen the movie I encourage you to do so. But be Ready to CRY!!! the time period is world war two it is about a family who hid Jews. Well they inspired me to write... a song! I hope you like it!

He is Deeper still!

Inspired by THE HIDING PLACE the book /movie
Corrie Ten Boom
By Faith Brown - 01/11/07

Suffering we can’t understand,
Trying so hard to be thankful,
We are deep in despair but He is deeper still.

Everything is going wrong,
This pain is just unbearable,
We are deep in despair but He is deeper still.

Just because we suffer, does not mean he stops to care
Everything that we feel, He feels to, even when it seems we are all alone here

We are always in His sight, everyone – everyday,
Even those who do not know Him, even those who do not understand He is the way.

But we can always remember He is our Hiding Place
And No matter what we go through He is deeper still!

Let me know what ya think and if you have seen/read the hiding place!

p.s. this was my speech!

BY Faith Brown ~ The maid of Honor’s Speech

At one of Hannah's shower every one went around the room and told the first time they met Hannah and of course sense the first time I met Hannah was when I was born I did not say anything. But it really got me thinking about some of my first memories of Hannah. I remember going to alot of her soccer and volleyball games. But the best times I remember are when she use to do my hair or when she use to take me shopping or to the movies just her and I. No matter how busy she was she always made time for her little sister. Now she has done so much with her live she will be done with school in May she is the manager at origins and now she is merried to a great man that we all love. And I want her to know that we are all so proud of her. And Darin I have known sense the first time he dated my sister in high school I remember that he always was so sweet to play and talk to my Brothers and I, I always appreciated that, and he is still that way now. I am shore I speak for my brothers too he means alot to us and we can tell he cares about us to. We have had a lot of fun really getting to know him this year. I know I could not ask for a better brother in law And I know he and Hannah will have a great new life together I am so happy for yall and thank you for sharing your Special day with me, I love you guys, To Hannah & Darin.

I WILL PRAISE HIS NAME
BY FAITH ELIZABETH BROWN
JULY 10TH 2006

God is so good to me
God is so good and I love Him
I will praise His name forever
He is Holy, Hallelujah
I will praise Him!
I sin and sin again
I deserve death alone
But still His love is always shone
I will praise Him!
All His gifts are good
Even when they are not understood
Sometimes they might be hard
But He is always in my heart
I will praise Him!

Every Move I Make – by Faith Elizabeth Brown
=====================================
Lord help me with this pain.
I know I’m not the one to blame,
But I need your strength.
To do what I need to do
I will need your courage too,
For I can’t do this on my own.
I will praise your name with every move I make.
I will sing your song with the voice you gave.
I will look to you and I know you’ll save me.
I’ll always know
That the love you show
Will never leave my sight.
Through this hardship I’m in,
on you I’ll depend,
And I know you’ll always forgive my sin.
I will praise your name with every move I make.
I will sing your song with the voice you gave.
I will look to you and I know you’ll save me.

Trying To Trust

2007-01-02T09:33:00.000-08:00

I wrote trying to trust because I am trying to keep trust in God! it is so hard I really want to be well for this wedding and I know I will not be totally well but I have started seeping again and if it stops today I should have healed enough by Saturday. But I don't know if it will stop today and I have SO MANY things to do before Saturday. I know only God knows But I just don't want to be miserable for this wedding! i was for my brothers last year and I just don't want to be for this one! But I know God knows whats best and that He has a reason for the hard ships He puts us through. One of my friends told me * if He brings you to it, He will bring you through it!* I am just trying to remember that! we called the Dr. and now I am soppost to take these 4 pills every hour on the hour along with taking my other meds through the day. This is NO problem if it helps!!!! but if I take all this stuff and I am still seeping I just don't know what I am going to do. Another thing is I just don't want to add even more stress to my Sister. So like I said trying to trust! Always please keep me in your prayer!

In His Name Your Sister In Christ Trying To Trust,

HE KNOWS

BY FAITH ELIZABETH BROWN
TO WHITNEY COLUMBUS
8/27/06

Whenever I feel discouraged or alone,
I try to trust in God whose love is always shown.
Whenever I don’t understand why God is doing this to me,
I remember what some one once said to me …

God is in control and you may never know why He chose you.
But I know if He hadn’t I would not be this close to you.
So all I can say is pray, pray all through the day there will never be a way that you can’t pray.

And I say back to her that I know that’s the way and day by day
I will try to say when I pray …

God you are in control, I know that you know,
And that’s good enough for me that you have a plan for me,
That I can’t see right now but I know that you know.

~ Hope you liked the song!

EVERY TEAR REVELATION 21:4 – 6JULY 27 2006BY FAITH BROWN

And God shall wipe away every tear,Every tear from my eyes,And there shall be no more death nor sorrowThere shall be no more crying or pain.For the former things will have passed away.

He will make all things new,He is the alpha, the omega too He is the beginning and the end And because of Him I shall never thirst again.

He shall wipe away every tear from my eyes So when in heaven I won’t want to cry,I can’t wait till I die, not that I don’t want to live But I would much rather be with Him.

And the pain will have passed awayI won’t want to cry, God will wipe my eyesHe will make all things new, including me too.

Song I wrote

Her is one of my songs!

GOD IS IN CONTROL
BY FAITH BROWN 9/26/06
TO MICHELLE GIFFORD WHO REMINDS ME OF THIS ALL THE TIME

Some day, some way I will make it past, I will get through at last,
I will figure it out, I will trust in the Lord He has helped me before.
Some people say there is no way no matter how much you pray that God will hear or is even there. I say and I know that He loves me
And He will always take care of me how could I not believe.
I may be in pain I may never be the same but God is in control....
Every thing, every being, God is in control,
Here or there, He knows where, oh, God is in control,
He sees everything, He knows what I’m thinking, God is in control,
My name is written on His hand, my name is written on his heart,
Nothing can ever make us part.
He has blessed me in so many ways,
Through this pain He gives me good things to say,
Friends and family that I can depend on who love me every day.
Some day, some way I will make it past, I will get through at last,
I will figure it out, I will trust in the Lord He has helped me before
Every thing, every being, God is in control,
Here or there, He knows where, oh God is in control,
He sees everything, He knows what I’m thinking, God is in control,
My name is written on His hand, my name is written on his heart,
Nothing can ever make us part.

Hope you liked it!
