I swear to you, when you are sad and crying,
I'll hold you in my arms until I get you laughing and smiling.
Oh Darling, you make me wanna fly, oh so high into the sky,
'Till I touch the clouds; oh you make me wanna fly!
And I know I can, 'cause your love gives me the ability,
And I'll sing to you, we'll be together forever, and forever we'll be happy.
You make me so very happy everyday!
Every second you put a smile on my face!
Oh baby, now I'm grinnin' ear to ear,
'Cause you make my heart want to cheer!
Oh my Love, my Dove, I love you!
Yes I do!
These love songs can be so cliche, but I swear it's what I'm feeling.
Everytime you enter my mind I get so excited that I hit the ceiling!
And there are so many holes in my ceiling because you are always on my mind.
I love you, you love me, put our love together and happiness is what we'll find!
Because God put you in my life for a reason and I believe this is it,
You are mine and I am yours and with God on our side we'll never split!
Love is patient and kind, love never fails and ours won't either.
If your love were a sickness, I'd die in a hospital bed from the fever.
I will do anything for you, no matter what trials I might meet,
I'd slay a dragon, I'd retrieve the sun, I'd calm the entire sea.
Have I mentioned you make me happy? Even more so than Gilmore!
Your laughter makes me laugh and then we're both R.O.T. - Floor!
You make me so very happy everyday!
Every second you put a smile on my face!
Oh baby, now I'm grinnin' ear to ear,
'Cause you make my heart want to cheer!
Oh my Love, my Dove, I love you!
Yes I do!
Every lyric I sing is all for you.
You don't ever need to wonder if our love is true,
Because if this isn't true, then everything is a lie!
I'll pinky promise you, my Dear, our love will never die.
So let's slow dance to no music for a while,
And I'll whisper this song into you ear while you smile.
You make me so very happy everyday!
Every second you put a smile on my face!
Oh baby, now I'm grinnin' ear to ear,
'Cause you make my heart want to cheer!
Oh my Love, my Dove, I love you!
Yes I do!
I love you.

More Than Bella Loves Edward And Vice Versa
She says She's been doin' this since she can't remember when,
She makes herself a promise that she won't do it again,
But it's the same old promise that she makes everytime,
After she gets done cutting and crying everynight,
Over this new boy or that mean girl,
She feels lost and alone in this big world,
Tears fall from her sorrow filled eyes,
She makes another cut as she cries and cries and cries...
Darling, Don't you know?
Don't you know that I won't ever let you go?
I was pierced so that you wouldn't have to,
Cut your arms, I took the pain for you,
Darling, don't you see?
Don't you see that you don't ever have to bleed?
Because, for you I took these scars,
So that I could write love on your arms.
Today is a new day but she says she'll probably regret it,
And as for love she might as well forget it,
Today is the day that she'll see my love for her,
The day the angels will rejoice when she surrenders all her hurt,
Right now she's thinkin' how life's not fair,
And how she tries her best but no one even cares,
So would anyone notice if she was gone?
She says with life, she's just about done...
Darling, don't you know?
Don't you know that I won't ever let you go?
I was pierced so that you don't have to,
Cut your arms, I took the pain for you,
Darling, don't you see?
Don't you see that you don't ever have to bleed?
Because, for you I took these scars,
So that I could write love on your arms.
It's night again and she reaches for the razor,
I scream out my love as she begins to whimper,
She looks at the blade and ponders for a minute,
Whether or not she should do this,
Darling, don't you know?
Don't you know that I won't ever let you go?
I was pierced so that you don't have to,
Cut your arms, I took the pain for you,
Darling, don't you see?
Don't you see that you don't ever have to bleed,
Because, for you I took these scars,
So that I could write love on your arms.
She sets the razor on her wrist and is about to cut,
But I pull away her arm and say enough is enough,
I took three nails for you so you wouldn't have to hurt,
I was pushed, I was punched, I was whipped, I was beaten to the dirt,
All for you!
So instead of carving pain and making new scars,
Let me take it all away and write love on your arms.
Darling, don't you know?
Don't you know that I won't ever let you go?
I was pierced so that you don't have to,
Cut your arms, I took the pain for you,
Darling, don't you see?
Don't you see that you don't ever have to bleed?
Because, for you I took these scars,
So that I could write love on your arms!

Jesus Deserves First Place
Our universe is filled with billions of galaxies, all created by and for God. Contrary to popular belief, we are not the center of this universe. So if we're not the center of the universe, shouldn't we be putting the One who is above ourselves? Well, who is the center of the universe? Colossians 1:15 says, "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation," meaning Jesus is the One who rules everything created, thus making Him the center. As created beings, our purpose is to glorify our Creator.
To start letting Jesus rule over our lives we need to know that it's not about us, it's about Him. We focus so much on ourselves that most of the time we forget the One who created us. It is said that the average American watches 4 1/2 hours of television every day*, but reads his/her Bible for 52 minutes a week**. It says in Malachi 1:6, "'If I am your Father and Master, where are the honor and respect I deserve?'" We need to remember the One who gave us our luxuries and give Him the time and respect that He deserves.
Another way to start letting Jesus rule over our lives is to know that God doesn't exist to make much of us. We exist to make much of Him. A carpenter doesn't make a beautiful chair just so that he can glorify it. He makes it to bring glory upon himself; to show how awesome his skills are.
Lastly, we must know that our value is not found in what we can do. Our value is found in what He did. Colossians 1:20 says, "and through Him to reconcile all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross." Jesus died on the cross to separate us from our sin, so that we can live for all eternity with Him in heaven. He values us that much!
In the end, we will all stand before God. Romans 14:11 tells us, "'every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.'" When you bow before God, who or what will you tell Him was first place in your life, Him or some rock star who He created? What the rock star gives us is nothing compared to what Jesus gives us. His love for us is unfathomable and that's why He deserves first place.

seriously? the cookie thing again?
omg! guess what! seriously guess! it has to be something random and if you are skipping reading this part then good for you cause it has nothing to do with anything at all! yeah! it is really cold outside and the the sun is not warming anything up even though it's out aah! Did you notice that i spelled "the" twice in that last sentence?
Did you just go see if I really did? Wow I wish my hands would warm up but they aren't so it makes me sad :( oh well. gah! school is going as good as school can go I guess. My band now has 3 songs! our latest one is called "Neon Glow" it has nothing to do with what the song is actually talking about but that is okay. I think the next song we are going to do is called "To Write Love On Her Arms" but we might change the name of it.
So what have you been doing? I don't really know you (hi, I'm Jacob *reaches out hand to shake*). Do you like rain? Do you like skittles?
Hold Cow on fire in a tornado! Yesterday I was skateboarding to the library to take back some things and there was a rock in the road that I didn't see and my skateboard went right out from under me and I fell. my knuckle is all bloody. stupid rocks! rocks are notorious for tripping up skaters and yesterday was the day that it happened to me...for the upteenth time!
Toy Story 3 comes out November 2nd!!! and I'm excited!! if you can't tell I'm a Toy Story fanatic but not like crazy. You and I should go see a movie! but I don;t know where you live and I don;t think there are any really good movies out right now but how would I know 'cause I do not keep up with the latest movies.
Hallo! Ich Liebe Dich Soviel!!! try translating that! it will be easy 'cause it's German.
Goodbye!

The cookie crumbles how?
So a pie man comes and asks me, "You want a piece of pie?" (in a French accent). I say, "Heck yes!". He then says, "Well here you go, how's that?". After I get done with a bite nomnomnom I speak these words: "Oh wow that's the most dandylicious piece of pie I've ever had! What kind is it?" The French pie man (as cool as he is) tricked me into eating some cake after I told him "No! I don't want cake I want your pie!!!" It was really good cake though.
What's up with me you ask? Well not a whole lot just school and stuff. Like this weekend one of my best friends named Rylee is coming to visit me and her boyfriend Tyler (who happens to be my best friend here). Don't even ask me how they met. Okay, well, I sorta hooked 'em up not thinking they would actually be bf and gf after a few weeks. I mean they have never even met so this Saturday will be their first time meeting face to face after being together for a month. Yeah! I'm psyched about them being together though because Rylee needs a good guy in her life and I believe Tyler is that man. Wow that sorta sounded gay but oh well I know I'm not (and never EVER will be!).
And the buzzer for the oven is going off right now and I don't have a clue why. Someone should go get whatever is in the oven and take it out before it catches on fire and we all burn to the bloody ground!!!! EXCLAMATION POINT!
I feel the need....the need for speed! Not really! I'm actually quite tired and it's not fun 'cause it has made me feel like cr*p *ll d*y. See what I did was take out the "a's" pshh yeah!
So my friend Lauren asks me to ask her if she was a tree, so I did and she replies "Pshh no!" had to have been there it was so funny the way she did it! So I've been doin' that to people all over the place when I remember it. Dang! That buzzer is still goin' off I should probably go 'cause I don't wanna burn to the bloody ground!!!
Peace out!

Green Sharpie Stank
I scream and cry at the sight of all this evil,
Like an infant screams as it enters this cold world.
Where has your faith gone?
This generation has become one of the living dead;
Their bodies are alive yet they are dead.
They've fallen so deep into artificial love,
That they've begun to hate themselves,
This generation has become one of robots.
Look at the rose, there's nothing that can enhance its beauty.
Look at you with your make-up off, there's nothing ugly,
Why won't you believe me?
Beauty is not outward it's inward, is your heart beautiful?
If you think skin, blood, and bones are all there is,
Well you couldn't be more wrong.
When I say "your heart" I'm not talking about a valentine,
Nor one that pumps out blood,
But the one that is the home of what you love most.
Don;t settle for anything less than a palace,
And there's only one that makes your heart a palace,
I'm sure you've guessed it by now, the name is Jesus.
The one that makes you beautiful.
Leave this artificial beauty and love behind,
Leave it behind.
