You are stirring up songs in me. So I'll sing, sing, sing. I'll sing for you.

Still it remains a mystery, Lord. This great love that saved my soul.

And as I nailed you to the tree, you poured forgiveness out on me.

For the God who gave His life, I now abandon mine. I lay me down, God.

I wish that I had something deep, cute or clever to say.

But I don't.

As I stare at this screen, I simply sit in the middle of the traffic of my thoughts. My life honestly has started taking a turn for the better and I'm so hopeful and excited for what is to come. Summer is on the horizon, the beginning of my senior year is slowly making its way to me, Brioso is leaving for tour in like, 2 weeks (!!!) and well, I'm a happy panda. :)

Yesterday and today was spent in the company of my best friend (and a few other awesome people!) who I am forever grateful for. We visited her ABS house and took part in a few great discussions and well, showing up Zach Wingard in basketball was also great fun. ;) Sometimes it takes sharing a polar bear blanket, chowing down on popcorn and Swedish Fish, watching cartoons and simply laughing together to realize that God has blessed with me some of the greatest friends ever.

On a different note, my mind right now seems to have more traffic than Bear Valley road at rush-hour. With the upcoming holiday, Watson essay topics bouncing around in my head, events from the past few days, my thoughts seem to be running away from me. The sunburn ain't doing great things either. :P 

With all that being said, I wish I had something interesting to give you, some bits of wisdom from my ginger mind, but I'm afraid that I don't. Just a bunch of smiles and some silly pictures. Thank you for actually reading this, it really does mean a lot. I really am blessed with the chance to be with amazing people that love me and that support me, and you being one of them, thanks. I love you. :)

On that note, I bid you farewell.

Later bro,

Kyls. <3

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

'Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

'Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
