Studio Blog

decision was made last night. i’m taking a leap of faith. realized that God answered my prayer for a local job. decided i should take it, even though there were reasons not to. i realized that if God answers my prayers i shouldn’t question it! even though they are answered in unexpected ways.

“I called, you answered, and you came to my rescue…”

None but Jesus - Brooke Fraser
“In the quiet, in the stillness
I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
I know there I am restored

When You call I won’t refuse
Each new day again I’ll choose

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

In the chaos, in confusion
I know You’re Sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will

When You call I won’t delay
This my song through all my days

All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You Lord Forevermore”

–my new job starts monday!

Fireflight’s newest release Unbreakable features an incredible rock anthem inspired by the story of the woman caught in adultery, told from her perspective. The first moment I heard the song on the radio, I was impressed by the creativity and musicality of this song. As I’ve been listening to a few of the other songs on their album, I am becoming a fan.  The message of this song and this album is awesome. New Release Tuesday has a great interview with the lead singer, Dawn Richardson. I was really impressed by what went into their whole recording process. The interview tells about how she almost lost her voice, which is interesting because last year I saw Fireflight at a hard music festival, and I remember thinking that her voice didn’t sound healthy, it turns out that I was right, and thankfully she got her voice checked out and with vocal training hopefully will be able to continue going strong. Read the interview to see her description of what she experienced.

They have a great ministry through their music, concerts and their new website. Check out Iamunbreakable.com

Enjoy listening!

I know, I know another song, (but most of my blog IS about music…) but this one came at just the right moment to encourage me. Got a big decision to make and this and p356 is helping me make it.

Surrender by Marc James

I’m giving you my heart, and all that is within
I lay it all down for the sake of you my King
I’m giving you my dreams, I’m laying down my rights
I’m giving up my pride for the promise of new life

Chorus:
And I surrender all to you, all to you
And I surrender all to you, all to you

I’m singing You this song, I’m waiting at the cross
And all the world holds dear, I count it all as loss
For the sake of knowing You for the glory of Your name
To know the lasting joy, even sharing in Your pain

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
your wine vats will brim over.
But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline;
don’t sulk under his loving correction.
It’s the child he loves that God corrects;
a father’s delight is behind all this. Proverbs 3:5-12 (msg)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. proverbs 3:5-6(nlt)

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jer 29:13 (niv)

Look to the LORD and his strength;
seek his face always. Psalm 105:4 niv

Here is a song for you to enjoy. It is a beautiful old school reminder to “let go of my will and stand with my face to the wind” Stand, by Susan Ashton.

With visible breath, I’m calling your name
With visible tracks, I’m finding my way
With a sorrowful heart, I honor this pain
And offer these tears to the rain

In a moment of truth at the top of the hill
I open my arms and let go of my will

And stand with my face to the wind
With the storm beating down on this sacred ground
If I stand for the grace that I’ve known
For what I believe
Then I won’t stand alone
No I won’t stand alone

There’s a new pair of eyes to embrace all I see
A new piece of mind and it comes quietly
There’s a joy in my heart that you’ve given to me
And I offer this soul’s melody

So I beat on my chest till my song has been sung
And I cry like a wolf at the top of my lungs

And stand with my face to the wind
With the storm beating down on this sacred ground
If I stand for the grace that I’ve known
For what I believe
Then I won’t stand alone
No I won’t stand alone

When the thundering voices of doubt try to shake my faith, oh
I’ll be listening from inside out and I won’t be afraid to

Stand with my face to the wind
With the storm beating down on this sacred ground
If I stand for the grace that I’ve known
For what I believe
Then I won’t stand alone
No I won’t stand…I won’t stand alone

1. Wordle is still on my list. Here is my gallery so far.  I have started making logos and stuff with it. (for blogging) And since i don’t have a fancy handy dandy mac yet…one day I will get a mac…..*day dreams* so I print screen it, and paste it into to paint and play with it there. You can do a lot just with Wordle, but you have more control with colors and placement if you are just working with a couple of words. See the pic/logo I made for this week’s theology thursday…wordle and paint. it’s not great…but it’s something.

2. Mandy brought this to my attention: Bomomo. more fun than paint. she compared it to etch a sketch, but it is so much more. Mandy you just find so many great sites!

3. Mandy finds lots of fun things: again…this is mrpicassohead

You have to check out the comments from Mandy’s post, because there were so many creative artworks displayed!
