From ground level

I have recently been fascinating by taking pictures from the ground. And much like music seems to folow art and the expression there so my art reflects something about the music that is happening in my soul.

Currently and over the course of this summer God has been and will continue to teach me those few things I missed in the foundation of my christianity. Those in which I have had an improper view and an improper frame of mind on certain subjects. In order to do this I must focus on simple things He must start with the foundation work and fix that before anything else can begin to grow and be buillt. We must focus together on the ground and even what lies uderneath it! As I have said over and over again this is difficult because God is very much silent as he has never been before. He is an architect desiging this beautiful thing but he is not giving it to me the engineer the crafter of things to make it work easily etc because he wants it to be beautiful I must lay aside that part of me. I must surrender the planner and crafter I am. For this reason I know he has chose to let me walk in this silence, but if I know anything God is not done...praise be to the fact He will never be.

If anything I have learned this week is that God has lifted us up off the ground we often think, but oftentimes we must go back to the ground and realize that God is so vast we are still on the ground. We must relize that we are carrying eachothers burdens and helping others come into the deep beautifulness that is Jesus Christ! We are a body and everyone needs to play a part for thing to truly get done as God sees it. Salvation is coming and things are changing, what way should we approach this oncoming thing? Who knows? The only thing I know is that Jesus and His vast infitude will make sure things are in line. We must only gain the understanding that we are going to be called unto judgement and the name that is above everyname my blessed Jesus will save us if we have accepted him, but what must happen to us is one thing. We must decide, I want Jesus above all else, I want who He is to be shining forth in me! I want His Spirit to be flowing in a mighty precense around me! I want my God to look and say, I am a man of His own heart one that is beating in rythym with the wonderful chords that Heaven is playing! He must be all that we want He must be our one desire our one pursuit!!!

I was lost but I have found
My world revolves around You
I was far away and now
My world revolves around You

Jesus, my world without an end
No mind can comprehend
Though I keep trying
Jesus, my faith has found Your love
My hope has found its trust
My heart will beat the sound
My world revolves around

Though the sky should touch the ground
My revolves around You
I surrender, You surround
When my world revolves around You

Now my eyes are fixed on You
And I can’t look away
Cause all this heart was made to do
Is to offer highest praise
My praise, praise, my praise

Every time I walk away
You are here waiting
And even when I turn my back
You are still saying You love me
You love me

Every time I look at You
The world starts fading
When I hear You call my name
I can't help saying I love You
Yeah yeah I love You

I will never stop chasing
I will never stop running after
You are all I want forever

You are all I want
You are all I want
You are all I want

Chasing
Chasing
Chasing after You

I am Yours, You are mine
I refuse to be denied
All of You, is my heart’s cry
I refuse to be denied

I’m coming after You
I’m coming after You
I’m coming after You

Though I’m weak, though I’m dry
I refuse to be denied
All my life, a sacrifice
I refuse to be denied

-Refuse to be denied(Desperation Band)

I was far away
But You found me and You made me want to stay
I was falling down
But You lifted me and turned my life around

Now I’ll follow recklessly
And I’ll love You with all that is in me

I am coming back ‘cause
You are coming after me
And I surrender now

When I lost myself
I came alive and You came into me
When I let it go
I realized that You are all I need

-Coming Back(desperation band)
