Alive and well

..stumbled across this song the other day and it struck a chord..

"and i, i really want to know You
i want to make each day
a different way that i can show You how
i really want to love You
be patient with my doubt
i'm just trying to figure out Your will
and i really want to know You still"
-Nichole Nordeman-



*this song truly reminds me of you, my ocf camaraderies.. comm.. leaders.. friends.. don't stop yearning to be in sync with His will. desiring to dance to the rhythm of His love. it's been such an honor standing alongside all of you in this unwitnessed battle. amazing people with huge warm hearts. =)

..okay, 10 secs update on how i'm doing..

it has been an awwwsumm second sem.. days zooming by as usual, yet well-paced enough for me to photographically digest snippets of happenings. always love the later part of the year because it's the time when i begin seeing things coming together perfectly.. by the grace of God.. the jigsaw puzzle fitting together, piece by piece.. and of course.. always and forever grateful for my significant other. *smiles*

..greetings from the snow at Mt Baw Baw..

The Pursuit

Winter Camp 2008

Testify to Love

Testify to Love
[Avalon]

All the colors of the rainbow
All of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

i've been learning bout the HEART for the past 3 weeks. what an amazing creation - a masterpiece! it pumps despite our efforts to stop it, but in some people it stops despite our efforts to revive it. and then they're dead. yes, kaput. the heart - at only the size of your fist, circulates blood throughout your whole being with just one contraction. so fast that the "dub-dub, dub-dub" sound is so natural that we sometimes don't even notice it. yet if there's a 3rd "dub" sound = "dub dub dub", uh oh you're in danger. if it gets a bit crazy and "flutters", that means trouble as well, cuz you're gonna collapse from the lack of oxygen pretty soon.

yet it is a witness to love in the silences when words are not enough. it never fails to quicken when you're in adoration. with every beat, it is an overflow of a greater love. THE greater love.

will you give every beat of this masterpiece back to Him who pieced it together in the first place? will you make every beat count?

"above all else, guard your heart, for it is the well-spring of life."
