Going Through the Motions

This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

More...

More beauty as seen from our yard...

Sunlit mountains to the east; sunset to the west...

but we are already in the shadows.

The shadow moves up the mountains

as the sun sets...

Some of the final rays...

Declaring His Glory

The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Ps. 19:1

When I consider your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,

the son of man that you care for him?

Psalm 8:3-4

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.

Ps. 57:5



The other morning I just had to run outside and snap some pictures

of the sunrise, it was absolutely breathtaking!

I was so glad that my little camera captured some of it...

obviously pictures can't do justice to it,

but they turned out pretty well!

I have recently become somewhat obsessed with

watching the sky and the landscapes around here...

the desert is beautiful (in spite of the electrical wires

and the roofs and walls of the city)!

And healing has brought me to a place of

renewed appreciation of the nature around me.

God is good.
