…where heaven and earth collide

joshua — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:14:19 +0000

i spent three nights and four days in a place where there were spots that i couldn’t tell where heaven started and earth began. i don’t know how i got so lucky, but it was truly amazing. i hope to go back someday, preferably with a little more free time.

that last one is an actual view from the private deck i had off my bedroom.

…my butt, kicked

“I wonder if for many of us, the only thing stopping us from living the life God created us to live–the life of our dreams–is to let go of a life so good that it betrays the great.”

~ Erwin McManus - “Wide Awake”

…more audio inspiration

life has been, well… complicated lately. i wouldn’t necessarily say good or bad… just complicated. there are parts that are great, parts that suck, parts of me that i’m not a big fan of, and parts of me i am. lately i just feel a little “blah.” you know?

well… songs like this, they wrap me around me like a warm blanket. reminding me that no matter what, god has my back… even with all my junk he accepts and loves me. i need to do a better job of at least attempting to living up to that.

i hear you say “my love is over,
its underneath, its inside, its in between
the times you doubt me, when you can’t feel
the times that you’ve questioned ‘is this for real?’
the times you’ve broken, the times that you mend
the times you hate me and the times that you bend
well my love is over, its underneath
its inside, its in between,
these times you’re healing
and when your heart breaks
the times that you feel like you’ve fallen from grace
the times you’re hurting
the times that you heal
the times you go hungry and attempted to steal
in times of confusion and chaos and pain
im there in your sorrow under the weight of your shame
im there through your heartache
im there in the storm
my love i will keep you by my power alone
i dont care where you’ve fallen, where you have been
i’ll never forsake you
my love never ends, it never ends

next week is going to rock.

my work has loaned me and another video producer out to another ministry for four days next week. oh, the ministry just happens to be located in the bahamas.

that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call suffering for christ.

next week, wednesday through saturday… all i’ve got to say is;

PEACE!!!

…lost into your eyes, and everything will be alright

joshua — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:07:32 +0000

i just found this song this week. i know i’m probably late to it…

this song moves me nearly to tears every time i hear it. it speaks to my soul in ways i cannot even begin to convey here and still keep post less than 5000 words.

put on some headphones, turn up your speakers, hit play on the player below, close your eyes and see where this song and it’s lyrics take you…

[See post to listen to audio]

how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean’s shapeless form
water’s getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I’d see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

I know you didn’t
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I’m so used to living underneath the surface

…pray backwards

brilliant…

I have not seen division like the one I see within the American church walls, ever.
I think we need to hold tight to our moral and spiritual values, but the division that is in the air right now is MASSIVE.
We have the technology to hide behind our 140 characters at a time or anonymous blog comments or venom filled blog posts.
We are saying things to each other that we would never say in person.
I honestly believe God himself is looking down upon his church and crying.
So what should we do?
We should pray.
Those who are voting for Obama should pray blessings over McCain.
Those who are voting for McCain should be praying blessings upon Obama.
We should stop moaning and complaining about inexperience, Alaska, taxes, teenage pregnancy, terrorists, wardrobes, racism, and Katie Couric.
We in turn need to pray.
