madly in love with you - Jesus

by Sean Mcconnell:

Madly In Love With You

See you down there everyday
Trying to find a different way
To build some kind of latter to the sky

Trying to find some way to see
Secrets of eternity, and they don’t come all at once
And you don’t know why

Well how do you think it feels to hear you screaming out my name
While all the while I’m trying to open up your heart
See you when you cry yourself to sleep
It’s tearing me apart

I know you wish you could see me
That’s the way it has to be
Someday you’ll understand,
don’t you lose your faith in me

I know you wish you could hear me
Sometimes it’s so hard to do
But every morning sunrise it says
I’m madly in love with you
Yes I’m madly in love with you
Yes I’m madly in love with you
Yes I’m madly in love with you

I know that you’re waiting for,
A chance to come in from the war
If only a moment, if only a day

A place where you feel safe and warm
A sanctuary from the storm
Until all of these questions fade away

But I cannot count on all the signs
You’ve passed away as mere coincidence
And im running out of ways to break through
Like a lonely lover, Waiting by the ocean
Ill never give up on you

I know you wish you could see me
That’s the way it has to be
Someday you’ll understand,
Don’t you lose your faith in me

I know you wish you could hear me
Sometimes it’s so hard to do
But every morning sunrise it says
I’m madly in love with you
Yes I’m madly in love with you
Yes I’m madly in love with you
Yes I’m madly in love with you

life is made up of choices

you have to choose. choose to believe a lie or believe the truth. choose to move on or wallow in the past. choose to live for Christ or live for your self. choose to forgive or hold on to your hate? are you going to choose to live in the past or claim your future. choose to claim the power within or choose to give into your flesh. choose to re live the hurt or bring it to Jesus. even the small choices matter. choose to love each person or let it slide. choose to be jelouse or love. -

these choices arent easy. and many of them will have to be made consistently. hourly even. even the small choices will define who you are...they will build or break down your character. make others feel loved or not loved. many choices to be made.


what are you choosing today? what am i choosing today?

a cure for the pain by jon foreman

So I'm not sure why it always flows downhill
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
I've spent ten years singing gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! To suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
We're either writers or fools behind the reigns
I've spent ten years trying to sing it all way
But the water keeps on falling from my tries

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! To suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away
A lie to run
It would be a lie
It would be a lie to run away

It keeps on falling (x4)
Water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! To suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away (x3)

im not sure yet, what this song means to me...what i think about it. i know i like it. it touches my soul. but im not sure what this song says. i think it says that we try to find a cure for our pain, running from it, but Jesus suffered way more than we ever will...and running from our pain is not the cure...but Jesus is...because he suffered...he is...

tis so sweet to trust in Jesus...

just to take him at his words. just to rest apon his promise. never shall i ever get tired of those words....seek deep deep deep into my soul. penetrate my existence.

my heart's secret desires...

one day ill write them down...one day hopefully soon...

What is holding you back?

ive been very contemplative lately. you may never know that. its all in my head.

today at work i felt so overwhelmed. i had to run an errand that basically was stampled with a huge F for FAIL. As i felt like the world biggest failure walking back from that errand, Jesus opened my eyes to my surroundings.

I noticed all the amazing truth that is on the walls around me (as i am very luck to work in a christian organization).

I cant even remeber it all right now but basically it got me thinking. What is holding me back? It reminds me of that old song, "pushing every hindrance aside, out of my way, i want to love you more"

What is holding me back from doing what i trully desire, what makes me feel alive?
- Fear
- Health Issues
- Rejection
- Comfortability
- Lake of Time (not MAKING the time)
- Not readiness
- Healing



rapha-h found in the verse psalms 46:10 which bascially means:
In the quiet In the stillness I know that You are God In the secret of
Your presence I know there I am restored


tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to rest apon his word....
gosh that gives me such i dont even know...my heart just gets so very excited.
He is so worth trusting. so.


to be continued....
