"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be comformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may disern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:1&2
Okay.... I have finally finished my Christmas posts!! :) Now onto New Years. Well the Friday before New Years Eve, some of the older Wolterdorf's and I went to there old Church for a dance! Here are a few pictures of the night.
Though I didn't know allot of people there I still had a great time dancing and watching people dance!! What a great way to end the year of 2011!!
On Friday evening I was able to go to Keith and Kristyn's concert, with a bunch of friends!!
And is was AMAZING!! :) If you have ever listened to there great music, it is even better live and right there proforming for you!!
One of there CD's which has In Christ Alone, one of there most well known tracks.
I have allot of there music, that I listen to all the time, which I was glad that they lead us in singing, rather then just preforming for us, so I got to sing with the Getty's!! :)
This is there more resent CD's, which I love!!
The Gettys were not only talented, but they were fun to watch on stage. They are from Belfast Ireland!! (how cool!!) They been traveling the states for about 6 years (I think?) They now have a beautiful little girl, Eliza Joy!! You can find more about their music and life HERE.
I have always admired the beautiful sounds that people I know play on the complex (at lest to me) piano. I have always dreamed of owning a piano as well as playing it.
Well today while I was out and about, I stopped by Music World and finally did it.... I bought these two piano books to learn how to play. I already own a key board so I am set on learning. With Gods help to keep me diligent in my learning, some day I will be able to read and play music :)
I am very excited to start!! Also to get on to fun music... Like Fiddler on the Roof or Sound of Music :) But that comes with learning!!
As I was thinking upon the life of Christ today and the Amazing love and grace that He gives us each day. I was reminded of this wonderful song "The Power of the Cross" By: Keith and Kristyn Getty. I love how it shows the wonderful work of Christ here on earth, fulfilling the will of Father, and bringing man closer to Him. How through the death we are forgiven and have eternal life with God our Heavenly Father. What an amazing work Christ did for me to be in His Kingdom forever.
Oh, to see the dawn
Of the darkest day:
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men,
Torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood.
CHORUS:
This, the pow'r of the cross:
Christ became sin for us;
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Oh, to see the pain
Written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Ev'ry bitter thought,
Ev'ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
Now the daylight flees;
Now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two,
Dead are raised to life;
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.
Oh, to see my name
Written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death;
Life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.
FINAL CHORUS:
This, the pow'r of the cross:
Son of God—slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
I hope you enjoy your Easter weekend as we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.
