There is a light that shines within me

There is a hope that burns inside me

Deep within my soul my very existence

There is a being waiting to be freed

A child who knows no fear, pain or rejection

There is an emotion

All encompassing of excitement, joyfulness, gladness and love

The creative potential of laughter

And the undeniable power of an infants joy, live inside me

Immeasurable are my limits for I call You Father.

Unimaginable my potential for You call me son

There is someone inside of me

Waiting to be unleashed

Whom you embrace

Whom I long to be

There is an All Consuming Fire

A light that permeates from my very being

You have unlocked me God

The doors You have opened no man can shut

I will praise You for all my days

For You are good

You have released me God with Your love

You are everything

- Ian McIntosh

In The Silence, You Won't Relent

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:35:50 GMT

Jason Upton basically sums up my entire heart right now with these words.

Tired of telling You, You have me
When I know You really don't
Tired of telling You I'll follow
When I know I reallly won't
Cause I'd rather stand here speechless
With no great words to say
If my silence is more truthful
And my ears can hear how to walk in your way

In the silence
You are speaking
In the quiet I can feel the fire
And it's burning, burning deeply
Burning all that it is that You desire to be silent,
In me

Oh Jesus can You hear me?
My soul is screaming out
And my broken will cries teach me
What Your Kingdom's all about
Unite my heart to fear You,
To fear Your holy name
And create a life of worship
In the spirit and truth of Your loving ways

Aaron and I, quite possibly, will be singing this Tuesday night at our Bible study. Along with You Won't Relent by Misty Edwards.

You won't relent until You have it all
My heart is Yours

I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
Many waters cannot quench this love

Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one

I want to write music now. these worshipers are so inspiring and cause me to at least stare at my guitar and notebook longingly. hoping maybe someday i could write the words someone uses to express their hearts to their Father. I want to make those chords that ring so deeply inside your chest that they touch areas long forgotten and heal broken parts locked away.

Ever have one of those days?

where you cant find a reason to do anything.

you fulfil only your most important responsibilities. the ones know one else can do.

you find food either calling you name constantly or utterly repulsive.

you feel alone but don't want to hang out with anyone.

your guitar and a good book stare at you all day untouched.

you watch mindless TV shows (Disney channel anyone?)

today is one of those days.

An empty page stares me down

The still canvas looming

What will you say and how will it sound

Its voice like thunder booming

In the image of the Creator

That’s how I was made

Every thought now or later

Before the foundations were laid

By His own hand I am hedged in

This garden where Love is King

Beloved Bride of Christ is who I am to Him

On my heart He placed a signet ring

So in this garden I am waiting

And shall forever stay

When the King begins the dating

How I long for that day

Quotes

Here are some of my favorite quotes from my friends down here in FBG. you might notice that Aaron has most of them. well he's just really witty. (err witte)

"If you are thinking and people start laughing, its because it came out of your mouth." - Aaron

"Do you remember that one time you cussed me out? I went home and ate a whole jar of peanut butter just for you." - Aaron

"Disclaimer, I never had a baby seal." - Aaron

"I don't want to pay attention, it should be free." -Aaron

"Don't hold my hand in public. No wait, that didn't sound right. Don't ever hold my hand!" - Aaron

"Oh my gosh! There is a house in the middle of the interstate! haha, oh that's why the traffic isn't moving." - Me

"Hello English, I haven't seen you in a while." - Aaron

"If you are not friends with yourself, then who will be friends with you?" - Aaron

"Oh and before you leave, put it in drive." Aaron

"We should go eat at a restaurant we have never eaten at before." - John
"Well, I think we may have to go out and shoot a deer or something and then eat it." - Ben
"No, I have eaten there already." - Me

"Doe, a deer, a female doe, a deer... How do I get off this song?" - Aaron

"Dry your eyes!" - John and Aaron
("dry your eyes" from john and aaron is usually directed at me since they always seem to think i am crying. some people say my eyes actually tear up when im thinking really hard but i have no intention of crying.)

"Does this make you cry, when I play my harmonica like this?" - John

"What am I going to do? My silverware is missing from the table and my OCD is kicking in. I have nothing to adjust/straighten/fix!" - Aaron
