Find Me In The River

They sang this at church today and it was beautiful.

"Find Me In The River" by Delirious

Find me in the river
Find me on my knees
I've walked against the water
Now I'm waiting if you please

We've longed to see the roses
But never felt the thorns
And bought our pretty crowns
But never paid the price

Find me in the river
Find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare
Even though you're gone and I'm cracked and dry
Find me in the river, I'm waiting here

Find me in the river
Find me on my knees
I've walked against the water
Now I'm waiting if you please

We didn't count on suffering
We didn't count on pain
But if the blessing's in the valley
Then in the river I will wait

I do like Irish accents......

You're Ireland!

Mystical and rain-soaked, you remain mysterious to many people, and this
makes you intriguing.  You also like a good night at the pub, though many are just as
worried that you will blow up the pub as drink your beverage of choice.  You're good
with words, remarkably lucky, and know and enjoy at least fifteen ways of eating a potato.
 You really don't like snakes.

Crazy

God has answered "no" over and over about a certain prayer, and yet I still find myself over two years later looking for a loophole. Then God crushes those fantasies. It hurts, but it keeps me grounded. I wish things could be different, but in the meantime I will be thankful that this world is not all there is.

These lyrics are from Mercy Me's "Crazy".


Why I would I spend my life longing for the day that it would end..
Why would I spend my time pointing to another man..
Isn’t that crazy

How can I find hope in dying, with promises unseen..
How can I learn your way is better
In everything I’m taught to be..
Isn’t that crazy

I have not been called to the wisdom of this world..
But to a God who's calling out to me..
And even though the world may think
I'm losing touch with reality
It would be crazy
To choose this world over eternity

And if I boast let me boast
Of filthy rags made clean
And if I glory let me glory
In my Savior's suffering
Isn’t that crazy

And as I live this daily life
I trust You for everything
And I will only take a step
When I feel You leading me
Isn’t that crazy

I have not been called to the wisdom of this world..
But to a God who is calling out to me..
And even though the world my think
I'm losing touch with reality
It would be crazy
To choose this world over eternity

Call me crazy
You can call me crazy
Call me crazy

My obsession

So I tend to become obsessed with things rather easily. Eventually I move on and obsess about something else.

Past obsessions (some may argue some of these are still current):
- Music: Switchfoot, Skillet, Jonah 33, Casting Crowns, Downhere, Kendal Payne, Jennifer Knapp, Caedmon's call, U2 (I don't care that you don't like them Aaron, these are my obsessions), REM
Books: Jane Austen (and Daniel, I am too Elizabeth, so there), Tolkien, Tom Clancy, Phillip Yancey
T.V. shows/movies: X-files, Smallville, E.R., Malcolm in the Middle, Simspons, King of the Hill, Twighlight Zone, Star Wars

Current obsession is Jeremy Camp (music) and Harry Potter (book/movie)

I have been spending a lot of time here lately: www.mugglenet.com
Pretty awesome website

And now, on a more serious note, a song by Skillet that talks about obsessions


You’re my only infatuation
Don’t leave me stranded
In my obsession
My purpose, my possession
Live and die in my obsession
My obsession

Come down to me
Don’t ever say that it’s over
I kiss your feet
Worship the air you breathe
Your love, my gift
You go and I will follow
My dream, my wish
Don’t leave me here so helpless

I thirst no longer
Drenching my soul
Pour out like water

You’re my only infatuation
Don’t leave me stranded
In my obsession
My purpose, my possession
Live and die in my obsession
My obsession

Am I a lunatic?
I’m going crazy
For just a word from
For just a touch from you

And I’m exploding like chemicals
I’m going crazy, can’t get enough

I thirst no longer
I thirst, yeah
Drenching my soul
Drenching, oh

I thirst no longer
Drenching my soul
Pour out like water

You’re my only infatuation
Don’t leave me stranded
In my obsession
My purpose, my possession
Live and die in my obsession
Oh, oh, oh, my obsession
Oh, oh, oh, my obsession
My obsession

This is my prayer, that God will be my obsession.

One month

Warning: This post written during sleep deprivation. May not make sense to the average reader.

Two posts in one day! That's what happens when you have a paper and final to study for. Tomorrow at this time I'll be finished with school and the next week I'll be done at the hospital. And one month from now I'll be on my way to Georgia! Change like this is exciting and nerve racking. Keeps me on my knees praying.

If any of my friends in Dallas are reading this, know that I'll miss ya'll dearly. The stuff I wanna say to some of you is too personal to post for everyone so i'll just leave it at that for now.

I need sleep. And to write that paper.............

I'm a geek!

The Simple Geek You answered 71% of the questions as a geek truly would.

You don't seem to sway in either direction, however you still seem to have some latent geek attributes within you. Maybe you're interested in computers but not a gamer? Maybe you've got geek hobbies but none of the awkward social tendencies. You may be slightly geekier than you thought and in denial! The simple geek usually has various quirks that friends may make fun of, but in general can be considered a fairly normal person. Your geek attributes make you less likely to conform to society. The popular kids don't hate you but the geeks don't either, so it's a respectable demographic. In a nutshell, you answered enough questions with geek tendencies and enough questions without geek tendencies that it's difficult to pinpoint your exact alignment.

Can't Lose You

So you're gone but I know you're not so far away
You're a call on the phone or a ride on a plane
But that just isn't the same, yeah well
That's ok because I was never home anyway
So now everyone's evolving and I am just the same
As I was ten years ago, but I don't know
Maybe a simple life is more the way to go
Yeah, but then again, I’m mostly all alone

Cause I'm losing everyone
But I know I can't lose You
And maybe my time will come
But I know I can't lose You

Cause the older I get
Well the more that life isn't making sense
And it's similar to traffic or being president
Cause I’m not the one in control
You grab a hold
I'm just a hammer helping to nail the future down
But it's getting hard making my friends leave town

But maybe I missed the nose right on my face
For what's just past it
And maybe I have the gift that everyone speaks so highly of
Funny how nobody wants it
Caedmon's Call "Can't Lose You"

Been thinking about this song as i say goodby to yet another good friend. And i like the last part of the song too. The "gift that everyone speaks so highly of".......he's talking about singleness. "Funny how nobody wants it."
