I woke up today to two sweet valetines on my desk- one from Natalie and one from Mary Beth. Natalie wrote that she preffered mine and Amy and Clara's serenades to those of the Mu Alpha boys- and that is saying alot; Natalie is in love with the whole music fraternity. ;) And Mary Beth's said, "I want a valentine who cries when she laughs." She knows that I am forever lamenting that I cannot laugh without looking like a mess, tears streaks and mascara and all, whenever I laugh, and made me smile about it :) But the best was when I actually sat down at my desk to read and saw the sheet music I put up there a few days ago: "I Love You, Lord." It reminded me of the One who loves me more than anyone else in the whole world :) It was a sweet reminder, and I felt so blessed and loved as I walked through the foot-deep snow to class. Here's the song that came to mind, written by a band of friends from church, one they taught us for worship at summer camp.

Stolen My Heart

In my life, you've heard me say I love you
How can I show you it's true?
Hear my heart, it longs for more of you
I've fallen deeply in love with

You have stolen my heart
I'm captivated by you
And never will you and I part
I've fallen deeply in love with you

You and I together forever
Nothing can stand in the way
My love for you grows stronger with each new day
I've fallen deeply in love with

You have stolen my heart
I'm captivated by you
And never will you and I part
I've fallen deeply in love with you

~Dodging Failure

I love this song. It's always a challenge to me because it reminds me to mean what I say. One day at our church's college group, we talked about the word "love" and how deep its meaning really is. It's beautiful :-)
I love you, Lord.
