Set you as a seal...
I feel so alone. Surrounded by people, and yet detached.
Jesus, I need you so much right now. I need to know what I should do.
You won't relent until you have it all;
My heart is yours.
Come be the fire inside of me;
Come be the flame upon my heart.
Come be the firs inside of me,
Until You and I are one... -
Mississippi, Muchness, and Music
It's been far too long, Lj. I feel like I should extend to you some love.
I'm feeling very British today, so, you should read this with a fairly moderate British accent to get the full extent of my mood ( Read more... ) -
Devotion, Distraction, and Determination
Last night was one of the best corporate worship experiences I have ever been a part of, including Passion conferences. I realized that THIS is what I want to do. I want to lead people into the presence of God with music and sound doctrine. I want to inspire people to worship God in ways that they haven't, or that maybe they had forgotten. I feel I ( Read more... ) -
Two-cents, Nonsense, and Frankincense
Ok, so here's my two-cents on all this NONsense. I would like to preface this by saying that I do not hate ANYONE. I do not even have a particular person that I dislike enough to say that I "hate" them, much less an entire classification of people. I believe that all people were created equally, under God, and with the same inalienable rights as ( Read more... ) -
Epiphany, Employment, and Expectant
So, every once in a while, you have an epiphany (an apostrophe?); lightning strikes your brain, and you receive a revelation. Sometimes, this revelation is something personal to you; and sometimes, it just makes you realize something about life in general.
I was listening to Hate Me by Blue October today. The story behind the song is this; the guy ( Read more... ) -

Reading, Responsibility, and REM cycles
I've recently rediscovered my love for reading. I used to read everything I could get my hands on in middle school, but when the required reading assignments came, I felt guilty for reading for pleasure when I wasn't reading what was assigned. But a friend of mine said that our friendship was currently on hold until I started the Harry Potter ( Read more... ) -
Storms, Shock & Awe, and Saying What You Need to Say...
It's astounding to me. It truly is. THIS is why I can never get over you. You just drop me and leave me hanging. We never have closure, so I'm left with this void ( Read more... ) -
Love, love, and LOVE
Love is a peculiar thing. Humans use this word to describe several different "feelings" but, for the most part, fail to grasp the core of it, I think. We use it to describe our love for our friends and family, and then go on about our love for our favorite food, or our favorite TV shows. Other languages have separate words for love, depending on ( Read more... ) -
Fear until...
I feared being alone until I learned to like myself.
I feared failure until I realized that I only fail when I don't try.
I feared success until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself.
I feared people's opinions until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway.
I feared rejection until I learned to have faith in ( Read more... )
