YouTube - Whatever You're Doing (Something Heavenly) - Sanctus Real

It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender

(Chorus)
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something Heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...

(Chorus)

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This is something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly
Something Heavenly

It's time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out

The truth of femininity

USCCB - (NAB) - June 15, 2009:

"We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful;
as unrecognized and yet acknowledged;
as dying and behold we live;
as chastised and yet not put to death;
as sorrowful yet always rejoicing;
as poor yet enriching many;
as having nothing and yet possessing all things."

Not sure why I'm still on this subject but the only reason I can think of is that God wants more to come out of it. The above passage is from today's readings...interesting.

As Christians fully living out our life of faith, the world will NOT see us as we trully are. We cannot be judjing ourselves by their standards.

Look at the picture below...this is what I'd consider femininity...fully embracing what God has called you to be and doing it in a way that does honor to your particular sex.

I went out to buy a skirt.

Conversion Diary: I went out to buy a skirt. - The diary of a former atheist

I thought this article (link above) was great. It really explains my own struggles with the whole shopping world...and the 'mirror' in particular.

I took one of those silly facebook quizes yesterday that asked 'how girly are you'...and I was slapped in the face with 'you are 12% girlie'...huh? I'm VERY girlie thank you very much. AH. Well...I think that what fully mature stay at home moms (maybe even homeschooling)that are focused on their kids think of as being 'girlie' or actually the term I like best 'feminine' and what the world things are two different things. Shopping for ourselves is pretty much non existent, hair and make-up? If I get to brush my hair and wash my face with ivory soap, once in the morning then I'm doing just fine thanks. Menicures? Sure...I cut the kids nails pretty regularly...or at least I used to...which reminds me. My own though...I guess they don't mean picking at them, do they? Heals? Sure I own tons of healed shoes...I might even be tempted to wear a pair to church...but quite frankly they are'nt that great for running after kids. I do like skirts though...and to wear my hair long(so be it if it is not colored)...and to take nice long hot baths, and I like pretty things around my home, and to watch chick-flicks...doesn't all that count?

Anyway...just some thoughts...
