hungry I come to You
for I know You satisfy
I am empty
but I know Your love does not run dry
and I wait
and I wait
so I wait for You
so I wait for You
I'm falling on my knees
offering all of me
Jesus, You're all this heart is living for
broken I run to You
for Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know Your touch restores my life
so I'll wait for You
so I'll wait for You
I'm falling on my knees
offering all of me
Jesus, You're all this heart is living for
Oh, I'm falling on my knees
offering all of me
Jesus, You're all this heart is living for
and I wait for you
and I wait for you
and I wait for you
and I wait
I'm falling on my knees
offering all of me
Jesus, You're all this heart is living for
Oh, I'm falling on my knees
offering all of me
Jesus, You're all this heart is living for
hungry I come to you,
for I know You satisfy

Southern Sweetie Fights Back
And back on the thoughts of Being A Southern Sweetie ... this can bite you in the butt (not literally, although in all actuality, it could happened quite literally given a motivated child) ... as it so did to me yesterday...
I was holding this little cutie for a lady who needed to sign some paperwork and I'm talking to her little one who is now in my arms and the lady is making small talk where she then shares "Yea, she was a preemie last year so we've had a lot of problems with her being sick... like, she's been sick for the past two weeks... she's had this and this and that"
and I'm holding her inches from my face... because its impolite to hold them out like the plague.

in other news
I'm completely stoked because the painstaking process of entering Pampers Gifts to Grow points online has just rewarded me with a points-cash-in for a Dora the Explorer (even though I don't know that Hayley knows who this is....if she does, she hasn't mentioned it.. bahahha) potty seat to fit on the big potty.
Let me just say... yay... no buying, no shipping, just potty seat... and even better, it goes on a real potty so I don't have to wash out a potty chair which I never really thought of until recently and it completely grosses me out.

Ran into a high school classmate of mine at a restaurant last night... first off, didn't even recognize him.. at all.. none whatsoever... and he was sitting at the table next to me... anyway, I come in from outside and he calls me by name, which of course is equally awful when you don't recognize him at first because you have that stunned look and then the recognition look which of course, in my very expressive face are on entirely different phases of the spectrum... anywho
so I turn around and do all the "how are ya? where ya been? what do you do? tadididida" and he introduces me to his fiance and I say "hey, I'm Meghan, we went to school together..." and about 2 minutes later when I've returned to one of the best fried chicken salads I've ever eaten... I realize that he probably already told her how we knew each other and that the better way of explaining our connection, which didn't even pop into my mind at the time was... "oh, and his grandpa married my grandma for a long time but we never were really "cousin, cousins" but probably should have been, but did at least acknowledged it all along" ...... akward.....
so then after I'm realizing what an idiot I am at impromptu meetings, we get to leave, and he has the dignity to ask about my grandma and some of my cousins... and I feel like a complete waste of meaningful connections, because that confirmed to me that he explained me as the grandma-grandpa connection not the school one.
great.

Give Me Your Eyes
By: Brandon Heath, Jason Ingram
Look down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touch down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work, He's buying time
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
I've been here a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
I need a second glance
Give me a second chance
To see the way you've seen the people all along

What the Artist Has To Say: "I wrote a lot of songs for this new record. 'Give Me Your Eyes' was one of the first that really stuck out. I co-wrote it with Jason Ingram, and musically, it has a hip-hop flavor to it. The song was inspired from the idea that every once in a while, God gives us His eyes. You tend to see a lot of different kinds of people in places like airports. Sometimes, usually only for a few moments, I feel like God gives me true compassion for those people around me. I think that the longer I get to know the character of Jesus, the more compassion I personally have for others. 'Give Me Your Eyes' is saying; 'Jesus give me your eyes so that I can see people the way you see people, so I can love people the way you love people.' One of the core goals of my ministry is focused on striking up conversations about social injustices around the world and being a voice for those who have often been silenced by poverty or lack of influence. I want to challenge people more. 'Give Me Your Eyes' does that. It is one thing to have compassion and quite another to act on it. Most times, it starts with the people around you."

selective memories
So I think I have one of the worst memories in the world... if nothing else, I have a "trigger memory" which means I have no general recall, but if you show me a picture or tell me a story I may remember what you are talking about... I contrast this to several of my friends who have whole-life memory... they know when and where and how old and what color their underwear is... not so for this ole gal...
anyway, you know how when an random memory hits you its even funnier than when it happened? That happened to me today... I'm not sure where the thought process started, but it went something like this before it was all over....
I was thinking about this blog that I read over on Recession Fabulous about getting homecoming dresses and prom dresses from consignment stores and the lady blogging that this was especially good for average or smaller sized girls because those dresses seemed more common... which made me think of a lady I know who sold all but 1 of her daughter's old prom dresses for this very same reason... which made me think about my old prom dresses... my junior prom dress I gave away to a girl that I hope will wear it otherwise, I think, I'm entitled to ask for it back because now that I think about it I have a cousin it might very well fit... then I started thinking about my senior prom dress which was fabulous.. and how much I loved it and felt like the first time I'd had just the perfect dress... until of course, it got stained with the dye from the paper which covered the gym floor in a freak accident.. and how the dress was probably still in my closet at moms... because I'm hoping that one day I'll have an occasion to need it.. although I think, I don't think I'll fit into it...which made me think about giving it to the cousin but then thinking about it having to be dyed and wondered how much the dying process would be.. and whether we'd need to dye it before giving it away.. but that I really didn't want to give it away because I might need it in this imaginiary event I keep waiting on... which made this memory happened....
Last Song, Senior Prom Night: DJ says "I think this is the way to close the night out, y'all have fun now..." to which Marvin's "Let's Get It On" starts playing.
yes. at. senior. prom.

meghan is...
...pumped that her "follow blogs" accepts links to non-blogger sites...thats right, I'm now stalking from afar...bahahaha
...dreading the dishes that have her sink full at home
...excited to be headed to the beach and seafood festival this weekend, despite the fact that she doesn't like seafood
...sad that her work pumpkin of total cuteness rotted overnight on her desk last Thursday..thank you sick pumpkin for the lingering aroma you left.
...needs to cut down her caffiene intake by at least 2 cans a day... and lose about 10 pounds out of the tummy roll and tight-jeans-hips that are less than comfortable.
and. done.
