Abundant Life

She reminded me of this song [make sure your speakers are turned up]

Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

This is my favorite song!

When we turn from God.........
We turn from beauty..........

And rather pursue lostness...........
Shattered fragments of creation.......

When we are found by God.......
Life happens.......
Real life.

Lifehouse Take Me Away Live in Amsterdam
lyrics:

this time all I want is you
there is no one else
who can take your place
this time you burned me with your eyes
you see past all the lies
you take it all away
I've seen it all and it's never enough
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away
take me away

I've got nothing left to say
just take me away
I try to make my way to you
but still I feel so lost
I don't know what else I can do
I've seen it all and it's never enough
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away
take me away

I've got nothing left to say
just take me away
don't give up on me yet
don't forget who I am
I know I'm not there yet
but don't let me stay here alone
this time all I want is you
there is no one else
who can take your place
I've seen it all and it's never enough
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away
take me away

I've got nothing left to say
just take me away
take me away
take me away
I've got nothing left to say
just take me away




Here are the lyrics for Breathing (the music video I posted first)...It reminds me of a Psalm...Anyone have any guesses as to which one? :)

I'm finding my way back to sanity, again
Though I don't really know what
I am gonna do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back in the arms of grace I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

I am looking past the shadows
Of my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head
God, which one's you?
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off me
One more time
'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting
For the scraps to fall
Off your table to the ground
I just want o be here now

Hello! Hope all of you are well! I thought it would be nice to try a different look. Another change is that at present I am mainly posting on my xanga site which I refuse to call a blog, :) But I have for the most part failed in not posting and doing homework instead. ::Sigh:: I guess writing is just too much a part of how I process life. So I started posting on my xanga at school because it is what most students at Geneva use, and its a little faster to publish to. (Whats weird was I kept telling myself I am not going to post...but I always did sooner or later!) So here's the link.

Life is going great here at Geneva! :) Busy...and loving it. :) Drawing class is currently my favorite class to date...it is so wonderful to have a class to just draw and draw and draw and actually not be discourged from it while in class. ;)

Here's a poem I have been working on...I love to write poetry but am trying to grow in my ability. It really helps release emotion and also helps me understand life, people and myself a lil better.
Hope you all are doing well!

Skin deep

I say ....

Just a little more

God knows

It will never be enough

My nature grasps for wind blown scraps...

When will I see

God hedge me in from my skin deep desires

They prowl silently seeking unwitenly lives inherent destruction....

Hazy white lies composed of security, status, comfort, ease

Nawl'ns sees a lil clearer now....

When will I see

Sleepy eyes rudely wakened

To see colors; shades of red and black

Empty desires jarred

Awakened to mankind's plight

Will I stand still questioning the darkness

Or in sobered reverence wait this stormy night out

Awakened now drawing towards the light
