listen

so, i was walking
in the freezing cold (to me anyway) ha..
well the sky was crystal blue
and i was listening to this masterpiece of a song
- this one------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfrQdGL-8bU&feature=related
this is quite possible the most gorgeous piece of music i have ever had the privilege of listening too. it is sung in Icelandic. this whole band pour beauty and passion into their music bear with it it is long .:D any how
the trees were pasted against the sky
looking like paper cut out shapes
glued to blue.
the wind blew pieces of brown leaves
that swirled and fell around me.
as i walked i just was amazed
at the WONDER of the world.
this intricate universe.. a tree this thing
that has roots under the grown
and feeds and lives from the dirt and sun
branches reaching upwards.
i could never make that.
i walked more and the air seeped into my core
i put my hands in warm pockets and pressed on
the music lifting chords in my heart
and guiding this traveler.
grass and light
smiles and hugs
passionate learning in the classroom
teary eyes at truth learned
warmth and rest
laughter
people
all creation
is shouting His name.
listen.

We are Yours

He loves me right now like this. Jesus_our mediat0r with God

key things God showed me this weeknd
-we are loved right now. with every single one of my faults and shortcomings
-there is nothing i can do good or bad to make God love me more or less
- i dont need to try to alter my behavior or strive for a moral code- THAT DOESNT PLEASE GOD- that is striving on my own accord. what pleases God is trusting him!-
the bible is to reveal Gods heart to me-it is living and powerful-and it invites us to have a RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!
-"for God so loved the world that he gave His only son.." he already loved me before i knew Him!
-YES WE ARE SINFUL-BUT i have no way of overcoming sin without my FATHER
-we are His children right now! heirs of God
i have been forgetting the cross. that bc of christs sacrifice in my place-God looks at me, a sinful being, and thinks im wonderful,and he HOLY amazing,looks at me through the cross-no longer separated-i can call him my father.
-getting to know God is about trusting Him-not about knowlege or getting an inspirational thought for the day!
-HE desires to know us and whether i run away or sit at his feet HE IS LOVE. he is the definition of it he created it . and his love is uncontitional and faithful and ENDURES.
-everything i do, should not be in my human effort to PLEASE GOD -but out of the overwelming relationship and trust I find in Him! in trusting him i obey and in obeying i will please him.
so i strive not to be moral-but to be in relationship with the Lord of Lords -who made a way for me to connect with Him. wow basically my head is overflowing and my heart is full! how great is our God. ill be posting more points i have to do this so i member! praise Him!!

you are sovereign
above all things
you use a little me
to do your work unimaginable
it really puts a grin on my face
and i have to laugh
why would you- the maker of the universe
use a simple faulty small mess
to plant your seeds of hope?
i will never know.
but your love-it is astounding.
i will praise you in all things..
when my heart fails
and when it is lifted.
your abundance flows
you can do immeasurably
MORE than i can imagine
so i await your redemption
and salvation
for me and the ones I love O god of hope.
reign in us.

oh the hypocrisy of life
and its blatant grasps that temp me
i am depraved and i fall continually
wow i am amazed by my utter evil soul
Lord it is a fight to be your follower
never the less where else can i go?
