Welcome to the "Permanent Markings"

I decided that I wanted to start a blog in where I can share some of my thoughts that I have throughout the day or week. While searching for a title for this blog I was looking up fonts and came across a font that is called "Permanent Marker." I then looked up the definition to what Permanent meant. According to dictionary.com it says, " Lasting or intended to last or remain unchanged indefinitely." The definition of markings is, "An identification mark." I choose this title because there are so many things that I encounter on a day to day basis that get me thinking or stick in my mind just like a "permanent marking" on a desk that we see in classrooms. These are the things that get me thinking. I hope that you enjoy just the small random things I come up with.

Love so Amazing

If you would have asked me a year ago whether I was happy with life I would have most likely said something along the lines of "It's ok or I'm making it." I just couldnt seem to find the happiness that I once had. I was having a difficult time adjusting to the new life that was set before me. This is something that my entire family has had to deal with. I knew throughout the entire past two years that I had people that loved me and cared for me and I knew that God had me placed in my position for a reason. I did not understand it whatsoever. I wouldnt have wanted to put anyone through losing a loved one, but is something that happens and we all go through it sometime in our lives. During the these past two years I have learned so much that I never expected to happen, but the most important thing that overwhelms me fully is "His Love." Love is often something we look past in our lives and we all have different definitions to this word. The love that has been shown to me throughout my life has come in so many forms that I cannot even begin to share every moment. But the one that I have recently realized is the fact that he loves me in everything that I do and despite the fact that He puts me in situations in where I do not understand at that moment doesn't mean He doesn't love me. The definition of love according to dictionary.com is, "an intense feeling of deep affection." the love that the Lord Jesus displays to us in this world exceeds more than we could ever show. My life has been nothing but filled with this love from Him whether I have seen it or not. I am thankful for the ones that He has placed in my life and the family members that I have who are the biggest blessing to my life. Without His love i am nothing. I have been reminded this entire Christmas break of two songs that Share this message of love and my thankfulness for it. 




This first song is by Christ Tomlin called "Jesus Messiah" The words of this song show me how much He has and continues to do in our lives everyday. 


He became sin 
Who knew no sin 
That we might become His Righteousness 
He humbled himself and carried the cross 


Love so amazing 
Love so amazing 


Chorus: 
Jesus Messiah 
Name above all names 
Blessed Redeemer 
Emmanuel 
The rescue for sinners 
The ransom from Heaven 
Jesus Messiah 
Lord of all 


His body the bread 
His blood the wine 
Broken and poured out all for love 
The whole earth trembled 
And the veil was torn 


Love so amazing
Love so amazing, yeah


Chorus: 
Jesus Messiah 
Name above all names 
Blessed Redeemer

Emmanuel 
The rescue for sinners 
The ransom from Heaven 
Jesus Messiah 
Lord of all 


All our hope is in You 
All our hope is in You 
All the glory to You, God 
The light of the world 


Chorus: 
Jesus Messiah 
Name above all names 
Blessed Redeemer 
Emmanuel 
The rescue for sinners 
The ransom from Heaven 
Jesus Messiah 
Lord of all


The second song is by Brandon Heath called "Love Never Fails" 


Love is not proud 
Love does not boast
Love after all 
Matters the most 

Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep
Locked inside 

Love is the river that flows through
Love never fails you

Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease
At the end of time 

Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes
When you don’t 

Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you

When my heart won’t make a sound
When I can’t turn back around
When the sky is falling down
Nothing is greater than this 
Greater than this

Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way
The truth the life

Love is the river than flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you




I hope that we all continue to find and realize this Love that we are so graciously given and offered.
