Give Me Jesus

You feel distant
but I know all the distance is in my heart,
because even now, your hand awaits mine.
Close the gap
I need you now
I wait as though a ship arrives from sea,
but I know all too well,
the arrival will only come when I am ready.
The fire will only start when I strike the match
you are the flame waiting to ignite.
All that I seek in this life,
all that will ever satisfy will only come through you.
My purpose, rooted in my blood-
to love you.
Your name, written on my heart-
to serve you.
Arise my soul, and run after the living God.
May your hunger for Him never be satisfied
and drive you after Him.
May your mind be granted wisdom
to spread on the earth
May your heart be lit on fire
and be consumed by the Spirit of God
and may love envelop you and every breath you breathe
This does not call for talent,
this does not call for beauty,
this does not call for knowledge
It calls for your soul,
for a heart that does not give up.

You can have all this world, but give me Jesus.

New Years Resolutions

Okay so I'm not like a huge New Years resolution person, but I guess I'll give it a shot this year, it's always good to have some goals to work towards.

So here it is, resolutions for 2010:

1. Surrender more and more of myself to God and His will, and focus my life entirely on Him.

2. To have a heart for those who do not know Christ, and with the empowerment of the God, reach people and spread the Truth.

3. Be more humble, thinking of others as first and better than myself

4. Be generous with my time and resources to those who are in need.

5. Overcome fear, and find the courage to do all the things that God asks me to do

6. Spend more time playing and writing music.

7. Continue striving to be the best boyfriend that I can be.

8. Spend more time with the guys from my floor, and let them know how much I appreciate them and their friendship.

9. To not procrastinate on anything

10. To spend more time with my family (in Springfield, and my family in Boise)

11. To eat healthier and work out 3 times a week and hopefully gain some muscle and weight

12. To not forget my vision, my dream, my calling

13. To be willing to stand for God and for what he has called me to do even when it means being rejected by others.

14. be consumed by the Spirit of God.

I guess thats about it, although theres hundreds of more things that I could add, but those are the main things. and for those of you who made resolutions, I wish you the best in working towards them. dont give up if you arent doing as well at them as you wanted to be.
