Firework!

For some reason, I LOVE this song and I Love it even more when I hear Boyce Avenue sing it.  I know we've all heard this song but have you really listened to the words?

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon 




I know that their is SO much on the inside of all of us that wants to do more and be more. Baby, we're fireworks..we just have to ignite the spark to let our colors shine.  I pray everyday for God to take away fear so I can shine and be a light for others.  I know that I have a little Princess that I'm an example for and I want her to see a Strong, hard working, smart and life loving women so she wants to be like me.  :)  It's time to shine! :)

*So much to catch up on*

We've been having so much fun since my last post about Ava's birthday.  Her party was very successful.  I've learned that I love throwing parties but I'm glad that I only do it a couple time a year now!

"Blog Re-Grand Opening"

I haven't been the best "blogger" lately.  We've been busy and I just hadn't given it any thought until the other day.  So, I decided that I would re-vamp my blog..and that I would start blogging often because its important to me.  So, here it is! I have designed the header.  You should be proud because I am not computer design savvy at all.  :)  


Here's to blogging more often...I'm so excited!!
