listening...

hmmmm

i had someone round at my house tonight (meganface, obviously) and we were talking about exciting things...and it got me thinking about stuff.

Okay, so God speaks to us, but i reckon He's speaking to us all the time. He speaks to us day and night, at school, when beboing, when playing guitar, when at resonate...all the time. but we dont hear Him. He's shouting to us, but we drown out His voice with our own thoughts or with other such distracting things.

So maybe im wasting my time writing this blog. i wonder what God is trying to say to me now?

i wonder what would happen if we listened closely all the time...

amazing things i reckon : )

so, my challenge to you is.....get off this. get off it right now.

and i really dont care if you havent read your emails yet, or if you want just one more minute to browse on bebo...get off it NOW and go somewhere quiet and just listen to God....read your bible, pray.....just listen.




see what He tells you :p

hard song...

so months and months ago amy let me borrow a few of her jason upton cds (bad idea ames, im rubbish at giving things back lol) but yeah, its only in the past week that ive really gotton into him. i think its the tone of the bass guitar i didnt like before, but my ears have adjusted and i cant get enough of his music. he has even written a song named after me, and the lyrics are just so cool and the music isnt bad either!

but theres this one song and i honestly cant listen to it. and i know by posting this im like making myself vulnerable, but i dont really care lol. its not the music i cant stand, its the lyrics. every time it comes on i sprint over to the cd player and switch. it just makes me feel really really uncomfortable and i dont know why. it makes me feel weird the way he refers to God as "daddy" throughout this song. i guess im used to calling God "father", but the term "daddy" really hit me, cause its like what a kid would call their dad today. i suppose i call God "father" because its more formal, and lets be honest, who calls their earthly dad "father" anyway! but the way he calls God "daddy"...it really made me feel odd.

here are the lyrics...


WHEN IT THUNDERS - JASON UPTON

Baby look up there’s our star in the middle of the sky
Shining where we are to comfort you and I
While I hold you in the dark I hope you see the light
And the passion of my heart in this simple lullaby

Daddy don’t sleep daddy don’t slumber
I don’t wonder when it thunders
If I’m safe in daddy’s arms (repeat)

Daddy look up there’s our star I hear you say to me
Something deep inside says I never want to leave
So I need for you to know whenever I go
God is in control and you are in His arms

"now is the time"...?

i keep on hearing the phrase "now is the time" everywhere these days...

true, now is the time for alot of things...

but its been a long and hard waiting game for other things.

it just leaves me wondering, is now really the time? is now Gods time?

like, okay, i know no one knows when Gods time is for stuff, and i know His timing is always perfect...

okay maybe i should just accept that Gods timing is best instead of questioning everything lol.

its good to ask questions, but you can ask so many and think way too much, and it can really really really damage your faith.

but its annoying me lol. i cant get it out of my head. when will God do it? when is His time?

i wish He would hurry up lol.

im so hungry for more. i just want more..."without measure or limit"...

i guess, ill just have to wait a little longer. but its okay, im willing to wait, no matter how hard and frustrating it is

my posts have such stupid names...

anyways,

today was awesome. totally awesome! God taught me alot. alotalotalot...and He is just ammmmmazing...

i keep asking myself what life would be like without Him...and seriously i cant imagine how crap it would be. what would i be living for? nothing...or something pretty dumb anyways.

the past wee while has been awful, its just seemed like attack after attack after attack. but another thing that ive been thinking of is fire. fire refines, but in order to refine, it has to burn the metal and melt all the crap off...its like God with us. thats what He does with us. so amidst all the burning and hurting...God has been there, working out His purposes...just like He said He would. funny thing is, after all the crap, i actually feel a little refined. theres a long way to go yet, but its all one step at a time i guess!

God is about to really really really burst into peoples lives right now..i dont know whether to be terrified or overjoyed...

think ill go for overjoyed! :p
