“Your grace is sufficient for me”
Long story behind it but God has saved me from some terrible things and gave me strength.
Our culture is constantly telling us to find our life; that we’re the center of our world, and as such, we need to take care of “me” first. But when I’m the center of my world, my world becomes very small—because I’m the only person in it. When I try to find fulfillment in anything besides loving Christ and serving Him, I will only end up more frustrated and completely unfulfilled. If we want “personal fulfillment,” we must not follow our culture’s prescription. Rather, we must lose our life for Christ’s sake. Then, amazingly, we’ll find that our world expands.

So Much Beauty In Dirt - Modest Mouse
Out of breath and out of cash,
find yourself watching M.A.S.H.,
every night on the couch.
Woman says let’s take a drive down south,
roll down the windows and open our mouths,
taste where we are and play the music loud.
Stop the car,
lay on the grass,
the planets spin and we watch space pass.
Walk a direction,
see where we get.
I never knew nothin’ so there’s nothin’ to forget.
Get real drunk and ride our bikes.
There’s so much beauty it could make you cry.
The rich get money but never what they want.
Find ourselves a new place to haunt.
Climb up the fire escape do it ‘til the ground looks far away.
Go night swimming,
leave our clothes on the ground,
when you get busted you should just stand there proud.
It’s the truth we all been wrong make it up and let’s move on.
Playing cards we all get to act sly
there’s so much beauty it could make you cry.this song. this band. forever.
