God who saves me

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the Joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you. Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem. Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight you; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

marchin on

so it's march. spring break is next week. exams are this week. summer starts and school ends in about 2.5 months. my oral exam/interview thing for spanish was this morning. no problem. i had my com 250 exam at 4:30- that was a little more rough than the spanish. now i feel bored, even though i have a bazillion things i could be doing. i could get ahead on my online spanish homework. i could do some online labs for psych. i could be cleaning the house. the first thing i'd do i think is sweep. esp under the couches. we need a broom though. i labeled ours the 'crappiest broom ever' with the marker on the dry erase board on our fridge before i dumped it in the trash. for the past hour or so i've been cleaning out my dresser and closet. refolding stuff, getting rid of the stuff i haven't worn in forever. boring, ya. lol i really want to take off. i think i'm just getting restless b.c everything's been the same for so long. i was sitting on the porch swing tonight- it was pretty nice out- and i just wanted to leave. i would if i a) had a car b) had the money to put gas in the car c) had a place to go. manda came over tonight. we went out to get something to eat and talked for a while, and came back to the house to watch american idol. i love that girl! i think we're gonna go somewhere this summer. nowhere too far away, but far enough away. we might stay with her grandparents in michigan over a weekend and drive to grand rapids on a sunday to see the numa guy. that was just an idea. well geedang it's 1:30 and i have class tomorrow, so better stop messing around on my cracked laptop *applecare had better send me my promised fix it box soon* and get to bed. after i clear all the hangers off of it.
sweet dreams
