Wanting to see, the light in the all
True and untained, a gift she befalls
Why such confusion to set standards high
Why such joy in seeing the fall
Do I understand, where we went before
A travelers journey, behind evermore
To whom shall I beckon
My life once a time
In her eyes, its a failure
Brightest hopes for new dawn

This place was pretty much amazing… Thats All!

Yesterday afternoon for brunch, we ate at Portage Bay Cafe. This organic cafe served the most amazing BACON I think I’ve ever had. I enjoyed the most wonderful french toast, topped with raisins and organic syrup. The potatoes were sweet and delicious. I can’t wait to return to one of the 3 locations in Seattle and try their lunch! Every single thing we tried tasted amazing, I think everyone should try it. Sooo good…Mmm. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. :)

life is pretty much going good right now… the past several months I have been struggling to keep afloat of so many different things and I think I am finally coming up on the other side… its crazy how times can bring you to the brink of where you think you can go and God just pushes a little farther… I know He always has a plan for where I am going but up until recently I thought it was forgotten or perhaps I had done something that was out of character… Its good to know that God is always there, even if no one else is able to…

Life's Angle

So i think I just made a pretty awesome dish but its annoying… I made a ton and no one to share it with.. I think I am going cook one of these nights and just have some friends over to share my dinner… Its so boring eating alone.. :”|

Traveling Soul

So I am posting this again trying to sort through some stuff in life and these words seem to have always fit just right… I guess someone thought so too because recently I was approached about it published but I am just not sure yet… Anyways, life brings up different things in God’s own timing. Although we may not understand when and where, I do hold true to that promise and I know that God is travelling right along with, through the bad and the good times - never failing!

——————————————————————-

My life, once dark and dim,

Now bright with color.

My heart, a treacherous creation,

Now filled with love and joy.

Longing once again

For that gentle hand

Swept across my brow

Jolting my life’s awakening. 

Striving soul, looking for what is lost

A hopeful wandering, finding what is not

Questioning heart, a secret longing

Yet not knowing who it is.

Lightning falls

My life, drunk in my own misery

Sudden light, calling from the end

There he was ready to pull me up again. 

Father, Master

Lord I cry

Take me in and hold my hand

Comfort this weary soul. 

Child, I give you life

A second chance

Your storm tossed soul

A greater meaning held 

The path you traveled

Less was trod

You looked away from satan’s snare

Tightly holding to, my gentle care 

For you a treasure stored

Your life a battle won

Set in stone, your footprints are

Travel on my son.

Within the wind, a voice is heard

Whispering to me, my destiny!

Can I hear her name, of whom I love

Where is she now, enthralled above?

Dare I show how I care,

Do I focus now on life?

Spent a while within this rift

Things unseen, yet felt within.

Can I find my perfect one?

To whom I am, imprinted on.

Does my life represent?

A certain one who makes the fit!

Treasured tears seep past the skin

My love goes deep, yet hides within

Uncertain now, what this life will seed.

Who am I to take the lead?

Yes, there is another one,

Who takes the reigns and pulls me home

For nature finds a restless beast,

Calmed by one who holds its’ leash?

Dare I try to move on my own,

To my peril, that which I have sown

For God does have a plan for me,

Even though I cannot see!

His will is good, to those who obey,

My waiting explained, to me, one day!

how interesting the time that flys - with moments as these, that pass me by
I wonder now where true friends have met, among the thorns of lifes fragrant call
it is not where we are to go, but that which from, first seeds were sown

I WONDER WHY LIFE HAS DEALT THIS HAND - TRUE AS TIME HAS SHOWN
WHERE IS THE ONE I CALL MY OWN, LEFT STRANGLED BEYOND IT ALL
TRUTH CHANGED RELATIVE FOR HUMAN SPACE, LEFT VOID OF CONTACT

is there something more to do, or is this what has the most?
lifes times and destiny slip me by
along with those who kept me up, far up and focused

train my minds eye in captive, fearful thought
why have they left and i, one among the strangers in my heart
can the voices be brought to a task that is most, strange and left, left, left

i wish it were an easy task but fear have i, it was not so
for to mend the broken vail, more strength than men do have
so there is a fatal cry. why oh why oh why

can we stop the doing now and just pretend to be apart
the pain to high to see it through for in the end, its damned

why can no one just look and see the thoughts are here like all the rest,
I guess it was only i that carried that task for many years gone by

to the falling of lifes good friends turned estranged
not a part, separate from the rest - there is no turning back

So im sitting here in intermission have the best seafood bisque and coffee! Just figured I would share…

So its been a while!

And I figured that I should write something… A lady at our church wanted me to write on your church blog so I am transporting blog entries to here as well… Is that legal? rofl ehhh well enjoy I was a little off that night so looking back I hope what I said made sense and it is not too far off!

Your Ad There Found on Craigslist today: I am offering my large window overlooking the busiest area of campus for advertising space. This is a great way to reach about 5000 students on a regular basis, who have plenty of money to spend on your product. As long as its appropriate, I will sell you my window…  So I found this entry on a website that I frequent which was taken from craigslist NY and I thought it was absolutely awesome… This guys knows what it is to make an income that is profitable with no expense to himself.In fact, this guy has had takers and it began my thinker to wonder! Ehh, so that sounds weird but really, what are we advertising… As a Christian am I sold out to God in all aspects of my life or are there areas that I have a “for rent” sign attached and am just waiting for a decent buyer. Its a wonder now-adays how we become so complacent in seeing ourselves with the tag of another. I was walking around town the other day and had the opportunity to share with a gent at the lake. I just returned from Dutch Bros earlier that afternoon and low and behold the guy is fascinated with my cup. “Where did you get that, is there one in town?”  People will comment on some of the most bizarre things. A coffee cup, what in the world? Yes, strange things occur but why not take them for the best. Along with that coffee cup sat this little book from God and through sitting on a bench on the lake, pondering whether to slurp my cup of heaven or sip it ever so slightly, God brought His word out and was able to sit and just debate life for about 30 minutes or so…  What are you selling? I wonder if I had been using that little book as a coaster or it were still in my bag, does my life show something on the outside that characterizes me differently than some dutch brother sipping at his cup?

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Eph 2:10

So, I just got home from portland after seeing a Bradley Hathaway (spelling ??) concert which was suprisingly good! Ohhh and we stopped by Dutch Bros too… YUM YUM.
