Big Envelope Means 'She's in' - Little Envelope Means 'She needs to marry rich'

I got the big envelope!
I'm not actually a student at CSUN, I'm only studying there for one semester, So I'm not sure why they are giving me an acceptance letter because I didn't have to apply. Either way, its exciting! And I got the envelope :)



Ta-da!


Accepted,
Angela

Burn Us Up



This song is about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I love this story so much more now! Shane & Shane make it beautiful.

Daniel 3:16-18
"Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up"

I love that they BELIEVE God is able to deliver.
But even if he DOESN'T, they will burn.
We should want this same passion! Even if God does not answer my prayer, or rescue me in the way I want... He will rescue me in his ways.
So even if he doesn't save me from enemies' hands, I will still praise God and stay right where I am. Even if it is 'burning'.

Lyrics:

"There were three
Before the king
There were three who wouldn’t bow to him
For when you heard
The music play
And you were standing you would burn.
They looked at him and said…

Burn us up! Burn us up! Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire
We give up! We give up! We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!


The king enraged
At what they said
Sent the three away to find their death
The palace stopped in unbelief
When the guilty raised their hands to sing
They looked to him and said…

You are able to deliver from the fire of affliction
It’s the declaration of my Lord
You’re not an image of gold
You’re the God of old
You have made us
Come and save us
We are Yours
But even if You don’t..."


Even if,

Safe




To the one who's dreams are falling all apart
And all you're left with is a tired and broken heart
I can tell by your eyes you think your on your own
but you're not all alone

Have you heard of the One who can calm the raging seas
Give sight to the blind, pull the lame up to their feet
With a love so strong he'll never let you go
oh you're not alone


You will be safe in His arms
You will be safe in His arms
'Cause the hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made
He will be with You always
When everything is falling apart
You will be safe in His arms


Did you know that the voice that brings the dead to life
Is the very same voice that calls you to rise
So hear Him now He's calling you home
You will never be alone


These are the hands that built the mountains
the hands that calm the seas
These are the arms that hold the heavens
they are holding you and me

These are hands that healed the leper
Pulled the lame up to their feet
These are the arms that were nailed to a cross
to break our chains and set us free
