How often do we try to connect with anyone and everyone? How often do we just want to be seen or heard? Sometimes we feel alone, and do stupid things to feel loved, and sometimes, just sometimes, the right person comes along, but we don’t know how to get close to them.
The music and animation in this piece is inspiring.
I had the chorus just randomly pop into my head a few minutes ago, and I think these lyrics need to be published and adhered to… declared. Jesus is more than a fairy tale… He’s everything!
This was one of the songs I was thinking of putting into the Byron Bay video I made earlier. I still want to use it in it a video. Create something about young people trying to make a difference, or really people of any age bracket.
It’s something that we should all be thinking about. We shouldn’t just be going through the motions of living each day in and out, but striving for something more. Striving for a closer relationship with Him, and striving to show His love to others (in a non-Bible bashing way). Are you going through the motions or are striving for more?
This girl is amazing. Just discovered her, and am captivated by her songs. Sure pure, so simple, so beautiful. If I could play guitar and sing better, and be more confident in my song writing… this would be what I’d sound like. yup. She’s gorgeous.
WOW! Captivating is right! She has talent… do we know her name? Someone to look out for in the future?
Light The Fire
I sang this on the second mission trip I went on. I haven’t heard of it since, and I hadn’t thought of it, until I was scrapbooking some pages of the trip. Where on a scrap piece of paper I had written the words “Light the Fire”.
If you asked me if I knew the song “Light the Fire” I would have probably said no. But looking at this piece of paper and seeing the words in front of me, the chorus just flooded back into my memory.
This song just made me raw. It made me open and willing to receive God, each night that we sang it.
As it was my second bootcamp at Teen Missions International, things were a bit different from the first year. I didn’t have the overwhelming presence of God that I was expecting to encounter, like I did on my first trip and this frustrated me immensely. I was demanding to God. Asking Him why, if He told me to go on this second trip, why I felt so isolated from Him. All I wanted to do was His work and I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t feel Him or feel His happiness, as I had done the previous year.
Nothing spiritually overwhelming did happen, but it was a refresher of my spiritual walk with God. A match to a dimly lit flame.
LIGHT THE FIRE (BY SONICFLOOD)
I stand to praise You
But I fall on my knees
My spirit is willing
But my flesh is so weak
Light the fire
(light the fire)
In my soul
(in my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(fan the flame)
Make me whole
(make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Just where I’ve been
(where I’ve been)
So light the fire
in my heart again
I feel Your arms around me
As the power of
Your healing begins
Your spirit moves through me
Like a mighty rushing wind
Light the fire
(light the fire)
In my soul
(in my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(fan the flame)
Make me whole
(make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Just where I’ve been
(where I’ve been)
So light the fire
in my heart again
Light the fire
(light the fire)
In my soul
(in my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(fan the flame)
Make me whole
(make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Just where I’ve been
(where I’ve been)
So light the fire
in my heart again
light the fire in my heart again
light the fire in my heart again

The Adventures of Sam
They have good intentions. But it’s completely coming out wrong. People who take the bible so literally like this kind of get me heated. First of all you cannot put God and hate in the same sentence, although I just did. God is a kind-hearted loving god. He is not capable of hatred. The bible is not a history book. It does have some factual events in there, but it is not to be taken literally. The bible is a like a form of poetry. There are infinite ways to interpret it. I don’t understand how people can think “God hates homosexuals” is a legitimate interpretation when it clearly contradicts the most basic fact of God. All humans are created in His image, which means all humans are his sons/daughters, which means each and every one of us has a plan written by God, and this all proves that God loves everyone. Sinners are forgiven and no one is excluded.
I just get so bleh about the subject of the bible sometimes. I’ve been trying to keep my mouth shut so I don’t offend anyone, but it was just really bugging me while I was watching this.
Their faith is fueled by fear not by love. It hurts watching this.
Ouch!!! This really hurts! Don’t they realise that only making connections within the Church is very exclusive? Don’t they realise that they’re talking about having everyone being tolerant and sharing love, yet they’re opposing this by their actions? I wish they could be more open… more caring… I wish they’d just realise.
OH. MY. GOSH.
I don’t think you understand how much win this is.
This is so wrong… somehow the wrongness makes it right and makes it hilarious! HILARIOUS!
this seriously must have taken so much prep. time…
Ok Go- “This Too Shall Pass”
This is absolutely crazily wicked! So much cooler than the ones I made when I was a kid… but then again i only had dominoes, vacuum cleaner pipes, video casing binders, and other miscellaneous items of structure and fun.
Today’s song :)
Popped into my head this arvy. Switchfoot’s Daisy.
