tornado warning in fullerton.

This evening, as I was pulling the family cars into the driveway, I heard the guitar beautifully playing across the street. I stood in my driveway for at least 5-7 minutes just listening and staring up at the stars. Today's rain left my street filled with fog but the sky happened to be so clear and allowed the stars to shine and create a beautiful backdrop to the naked tree branches. It all reminded me of the song Cannons by Phil Wickham,

It’s falling from the clouds
A strange and lovely sound
I hear it in the thunder and rain
It’s ringing in the skies
Like cannons in the night
The music of the universe plays. We’re singing…

You are holy, great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I’m so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of how great You are

Beautiful and free
The soul of God exceeds
Reaching far beyond the Milky Way
Let’s join in with the sound
Come on, let’s sing it out
As the music of the universe plays. Saying…

You are holy, great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I’m so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of You
All glory, honor, power is Yours. Amen
All glory, honor, power is Yours. Amen
All glory, honor, power is Yours forever. Amen

As I start school tomorrow, I pray that I will be reminded throughout the day of the music our universe plays just like I was tonight. Thank you Lord.

toasting the new year with some Stone Brewery beer.

finals week.

My brother said something to me the other day that has sort of stuck with me, "Biology is sort of a lonely subject to study." (Although I'm not studying Biology, Biochemistry falls into that same category.) When I start to get overwhelmed by school and begin to question what the heck I'm doing, I walk into class, sit down and become engulfed in the structures of nucleotides and how transcription occurs molecule by molecule, I'm then reminded of why I'm here. I love this stuff! He's right though, these are not things one can discuss with everyone so I see how it can be lonely but I've recently been discussing it with my Creator. The more I learn about the how all the pieces fit together in this Universe, the more I am convinced it is perfectly knitted by Him. I am constantly reminded not only how much He loves me but how logical and perfect life in the knowledge of Him is.

this makes me happy...

Fish radio, really?

Today I was listening to the Fish radio station, lame right? But, I heard two songs that moved me, totally worth being lame for. 

 

Although the music style doesn't particularly move me, the words in Brandon Heath's song are a prayer that has been written on my heart.  Here's the chorus:

 

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I keep missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

The ones that are far beyond my reach

Give me your heart for the ones forgotten

Give me your eyes so I can see

 

This next song is one that I just love and is something I am continuing to learn, Love Song for a Savior by Jars of Clay. God being more than just my savior, but allowing Him to be God over all my life! I truly want to fall more in love with Him. Plus, I love the imagery in the beginning; it always makes me think of daisy-chain necklaces and crowns :)

 

 

In open fields of wild flowers,

she breathes the air and flies away

She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses

in no simple language

Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all

He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens

As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips

Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him

Someday He'll call her and she will come running

and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray,

 

"I want to fall in love with You"

 

Sitting silent wearing Sunday best

The sermon echoes through the walls

A great salvation through it calls to the people

who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls

 

He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens

As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips

Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him

Someday He'll call us and we will come running

and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray,

 

"I want to fall in love with You"

 

It seems too easy to call you "Savior",

Not close enough to call you "God"

So as I sit and think of words I can mention

to show my devotion

 

"I want to fall in love with You"

"my heart beats for You"

"Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities."
-C.S. Lewis
