POEM:
He conquered all as the Messiah - Christus Victor
May Christ be victorious in you, He's our winner
People display their faith with some symbols
Relic and ancient jewelry, overused and simple
What does it really stand for, foolish to perishing
Power to GOD from deed within, we're cherishing
look here - this ring. Is it alive and vibrant too
the beauty of this walk it's a process, a silent truth
Sanctification is being applied to a holy being
working in us and on going till we stand and we're seeing
eye to eye with the guy, he's our deity figure
why spend time worshiping, something that's not
A sign of weakness. Death, no miracle or wisdom
but Christ is the power of GOD - He's with Him
we all want a dude. A man's man, not a hippie
or a surfer dude, men follow him, to others it seems silly
Individuals bubble at the surface, who'll set it back in motion
How can a hero serve us, will He lack in commotion
Not even waves in an ocean, can say hello enough
Even nature gives praise, who prays for this stuff
Why be universal or relevant, no need for brilliance
Be like Lazarus + by Agape be resilient
Don't reject life, because of the evidence of death
Allergic to dust, wonder who gives you breath
He could have shown his stuff, but he was obedient
He submitted like Clark Kent, getting beat and bent
So different, the opposite, ambidextrous liver
not quick to quit, he was an abundant giver
Get underneath like a sliver, deep within
you need evidence and proof, yet you sleep with sin
From a human point of view, it's not working
intellectuals need that brain function flirting
Many think it's brilliant, leaning on our own
understanding science & a mathematical poem
acting so grown, in our daddy's clothes
but they don't fit, and soon he's coming back home
All they do is babble on, with no pack leaders
no conclusion, many agree, but none accept. Cheaters
make up your mind, stop idol talk, that's idle talk
why don't you try to walk, like a man risen. Don't stop!
Individuals bubble at the surface, who'll set it back in motion
How can a hero serve us, will He lack in commotion
Not even waves in an ocean, can say hello enough
Even nature gives praise, who prays for this stuff
Why be universal or relevant, no need for brilliance
Be like Lazarus + by Agape be resilient
Don't reject life, because of the evidence of death
Allergic to dust, wonder who gives you breath

UPDATE ON ME: I've been on a mission all year
Where
Hey everyone that cares. How are you doing? How is your walk with Jesus? How has God blessed you recently?
To answer my own questions; I've been doing well. I've been busy with some work at Starbucks working about 34 hours a week, I'm finished settling into my new home, & I've put music on hold as I strengthen myself spiritually. I've gone on a few trips recently as well.
For my birthday weekend I visited my father and step mother in Eureka, California. I actually took my significant other and my Parents really loved her. In fact they said if we decided to get serious, we have their blessing. Wow. I didn't expect that. I still have to introduce her to my mother. That would be an extremely serious move. One day. Nevertheless, our 4 days were challenging, but they were blessings too. A great time for growth.
Last week I got to experience my first camp. I visited Washington Family Ranch near Antelope, Oregon for a week of Young Life. I was a leader of 8 teens ranging from 14-18. All are high school kids at different points in their lives. Although the first 3 days were the most exhausting and challenging, the final 4 were amazing. It was a blessing to talk to and share with our cabin, a community of 10. Walls were broken down & Jesus was definitely on our minds and hearts. Our souls were touched and blessed. It was a great experience as a person, a Christian, and as a leader.
I'm praying for strength when it comes to being a better spiritual leader. I'm a born leader, but the world has brought me down in the past 4 years, and it's time for that to change. The last 9 months have been months of change, growth, & stepping out of my comfort zone. God is pushing me towards the man he's always intended me to be.
I pray I can put away my plans and agenda and trust in Him 200% with my life, & my future. I know I have purpose. I know I have identity. I'm just learning how to fit in my own skin. I've been stretched and now it's time to wear this Jesus suit everyday. It's a matter of taking my cross up and following the perfect example.
2010 has been a year or challenges and growth, but I've faced it all with a brave face and a peaceful heart. I'm thankful God has pushed me and pulled me. And I am grateful for God's infinite mercy & divine grace. I've never felt more loved. And I've never wanted to please Him more. I'm confident to stay true and obedient, not to be blessed, but because I have faith. Besides it's not about me. My faith will bless others. My purity and obedience will bless others. And my truth will bless others. I pray and speak in love. One day you will only know of LOVE. And it will be unconditional. Are you ready to experience what you've been created for!?
