always

Did You rise the sun for me?
Or paint a million stars that I might
Know Your majesty?
Is Your voice upon the wind?
Is everything I've known marked
With my maker's fingerprints?

Breathe on me
Let me see Your face
Ever I will seek You

Cause all You are, is all I want, always
Draw me close in Your arms
Oh God, I wanna be with You

Can I feel You in the rain?
Abandon all I am to have You
Capture me again
Let the earth resound with praise
Can You hear as all creation lives
To glorify one name?

a portrait of feminine grace

my heart rejoices in the Lord!

Oh, how the Lord has blessed me!

NOw i have an answer for my enemies,

as i delight in your deliverance.

No one is holy like the Lord!

There is no one besides you:

there is no Rock like our God...

For all the earth is the Lord's,

and he has set the world in order.

He will protect his godly ones,

but the wicked will perish in darkness.

No one will succeed by strength alone.

hannah :: i samuel 2:1

i have much hope to believe that i'll be able to stand together with friends and family and say as Sarah said in Genesis 21:6 'God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me. And add as she added, 'Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.'

God i surrender to You. The enemy has tried to do his trick to suppress but i resurrect the dreams, passions and hope in You once again, laying it all at Your feet with an open palm and ask that Your will be done in my life. I don't want to walk the path of self-righteousness but let me walk the talk of who You are in the world that You've placed me in. Take it all. Have your way. Do what You will. May Your desires be mine.

So let it be.

you

where do i begin
how do i say what's on my heart with paper and a pen
how can i describe
the God of all the universe and make it right
i just wonder if its worth
painting You with so few words

still there's something about you
that keeps me in pursuit of who You are
and i will spend my days
and find out ways to praise
the glory and the grace of who You are

why do i even try
if i could speak the tongue of every man
i'm still tongue-tied
what can i say about You
when everything i have won't do
it will not do

as long as life runs through my veins
i will live to praise Your name

the wonders of creation of the ipod. love it! sleek, slim, sexy and GREEN!! got given one from dad mid last year but i never used until last month. its made my train rides and journeys to and from meetings through the week so 'full' and 'alive' in Christ as melody and song bring worship into my spirit (even in times when i don't 'feel' like it..)

this song is pretty much where i'm at. The bigness and adoration of our Creator, a creation in His World, not being able to put a finger to all thats stirring in, out of and around me. i can't comprehend much, i don't understand fully much but i stand with my feet planted and looking up to my true North point.
