"It's Whose You Are"

This song was originally written for the new movie "Secretariat" and is sang by AJ Michalka.  When Anna and I heard it, we immediately fell in love and wanted to learn it.  So we did.


It was first our mom's idea for us to make it a Christian song by changing some of the words.  As soon as Anna and I started it literally took about 15-20 minutes to finish it.  It just came to us.  The song fit the two of us like a glove.  We wanted to share the lyrics with you.

It's Whose You Are

It's not the price, it's not the game

It's not the score, it's not the fame

Whenever roads look way to far, it's not what you have

It's Whose you are

It's not how fast, it's not how far

It's not who cheers, it's Whose you are

In the darkest night, live in the Son,

Jesus Christ, He is the One

It's never the glory, It's never the score

It's not about seeing who's less and whose more

So when you've found out Whose helped you this far

You'll know it's not how much you have, it's Whose you are

You lose the world, then be Christ's star

It's not too late, be who you are

Whenever roads look way to far, it's not what you have

It's Whose you are

When you have found Whose helped you this far

When you have found Who's daughter you are

It's won't be just you that you'll find

has made the run and the climb

It's everyone

Learning He'll mend you when you break

Living to give more than you take

Dying to live, living to try

Feet on the ground, dreams in the sky

It's never how much you have

It's Whose you are

Update

I'm sorry that's been so long since we've posted.  Gosh...almost a month.  We're slacking.  Haha!  So, I thought I'd give you a little update on things around here. :)


I (Katie) have a new job at our county's public library.  I love it!  School is in full swing.  I'm in my last year of high school and taking two more college courses.  Life is very busy!


Zach: He's still working as a computer tech for a small shop downtown and also works a few hours a week for our aunt.  He's taking two college courses and is in his sophomore year of high school.


Anna: She's baby-sitting for a family at our church almost 5 days a week.  She's started her freshman year of high school and seems to be enjoying being a high school student.


The three of us also have started helping out at one of the local middle schools.  We've been doing little Bible studies and playing music for the FCA group.  It's a lot of fun!  We'll be posting photos of that soon, hopefully.


Well, that's all for now.  Good night, dear readers.


Katie

Happy Mother's Day

Mother is just a simple word
yet it's especially dear...
And it seems to mean much
more with each passing year...
Each word of Love and Affection
describes you mother...
It's a word that's filled with love,
a word that reflects everything that's
wonderful - Wonderful just like you.

Mom, I loved you yesterday, I love you tomorrow and everyday.
You were there for me my first day of school, to hold my hand and give me courage to go.
You listened to me when I needed to talk, you talked to me when I needed to listen.
You let me grow and learn from my own mistakes.
You never left my side when I was feeling down, I knew you would be there to pick me up.
I wish there was a way I could repay all the things you have done for me, but there's nothing great enough to repay the greatest mother of all.
