Trust me, I've been there, I've looked, I've searched and I know now, that there are no answers to be found in the bottom of a bottle or on the edge of a blade! Fighting Hard, Recovering, Rebuilding, REBORN. Moving on from addiction to a new life.
It is our love for one another that we will be set apart and called His disciples and if we are truly His disciples we shall never deny Him.
STREETS by ABOVE THE GOLDEN STATE When shadows turn to faces When faces take on names When names tell us their stories Of their brokenness and pain
When love flows through the cities Through the grid of all the streets Under bridges in the alleys Like blood through our veins
Love is real Love will bleed Love will heal, love Love will need
When love is used like money It turns into our greed When love is more like water Then everyone will drink
So, let it flow through all our cities (Like the rivers fall) And flood them like the sea (Love fill us all) Fill the souls that hunger Lord, give us what we need, yeah
Sometimes in this world the hardest thing to do is love, but when nothing else is left, when you’ve tried everything else and nothing seems to change, the only way to overcome what comes is against is to love like Christ.

You can see it when He walks around You can feel it when He moves the ground We’re all colored with a crimson stain Can you see it now? Can you see Him now?
From the clouds to the world below From the mountain to the city of gold Love is coming like an urgent rain Can you feel it now? Can you feel Him now?

Though the chaos of my past may still surround me, I still find peace through Christ’s sacrifice for me.
STREETS by ABOVE THE GOLDEN STATE I lift my eyes to behold Your beauty And I can feel Your heavenly pull You meet my eyes, with Your love enfold me To rest upon, the gaze of my soul
In front of me is the figure I long for And I will turn to see no one else But I’m consumed by Your grace and wonder I’m finding You as I lose myself I’m finding You as I lose
I, I wanna gaze into Your eyes I wanna lose my soul in You, You When I stare into Your eyes I can see You looking back at me
The definition of my faith is a wonder I’d rather look to You than know Lord, I believe and I feel You moving When I love with the love You’ve shown
The distractions of this world have trapped me But I’m returning to the rest I’ve known As a bird flies away and wanders Returning to my heavenly home Returning to my heavenly
I, I wanna gaze into Your eyes I wanna lose my soul in You, You When I stare into Your eyes I can see You looking back at me I can see You looking back at me
I can see You looking back I, my eyes are on You I can see You looking I can see You looking back
I, I wanna gaze into Your eyes I wanna lose my soul in You, You When I stare into Your eyes I can see You looking back When I stare into Your eyes I can see You looking back at me
It’s been a mixed bag of weather here over this last week, but there has been the odd moment of sunshine through the wind and rain. Luckily I managed to catch a few sunrises and sunsets on my way to and from work.

I am officially shattered this evening, it’s been a long, long weekend, it’s Sunday evening and I’ve just finished work at 8.15pm!!!! On a Sunday!!! Sunday’s are for Church then Karate, but work as well?
I could just close my eyes and sleep, if I wasn’t so hungry and still actually mentally buzzing!
Friday was a great night at Amplified once again, our youth ministry is growing each week, but for me it makes a long day, but I don’t mind. I work from 7.30am to 4pm, then leave to teach karate from 4.30 to 6pm, then rush home change and out to Church until gone 10pm, a long, but extremely enjoyable day.
Yesterday was a crazy day too, I went for a 3 hour walk first thing, then at 10.30am went to Ursula’s for what I thought would be 3 or 4 hours of architectural work, wrong, eight hours later I walked home with a fried brain!!!!
So this morning another early start at Church to get the cameras set up, then filming the main service, Justin was preaching this week and boy did he cover every inch of the stage, he never stood still for too long, I had to concentrate so hard on the tiny viewing screen to follow him and keep in view, hard work, but I enjoy it, I actually enjoy the test, it helps me improve my camera work, especially with ECTV due to go live in two weeks.
A bit if lunch then off to karate for two and half hours of teaching, then leave there to go back to Ursula’s for another two and half hours staring at a computer screen, now I’m completely brain fried, but I’m not finished yet, I’m back there tomorrow night after work as well.
So now for tea and then, hopefully, a long and peaceful sleep!!!!
I heard this song on my iPod whilst walking yesterday, I’ve listened to it many times, but yesterday morning it really caught my attention, so I thought I would share it with you all.
