Awakening Love

In search of the other.

____________

Pause. Selah.

(Time has stilled.)

Enter in

To this moment.

Awakening love

Open the door.

The fresh air awaits you
________________

Now is the time
For love to come.

Softly.
Gently.
Come and melt me.

The sun is shining
And I am here
Bare and near
Though I've wrestled with fear.

Overcome me.

I asked for an answer
And got a perfect answer.

Love is come.

Your choice is perfect.
Your hearts desire is for one.

The time is now.
Love, sweet love.

Don't ask for the answers.
Live, tiny dancer.

Swing into the treehouse of love
Eat well.

Dine with Love.
And cast away hell.

Compel
Propel

Our time will tell

Our commitments
Our equity
With a greater return.

Wear your whole heart, now.
Yearn, lover, yearn.

Investing
Investing

With you I am resting.

And dancing and singing

And loving and needing.

Pace

Pace

Your perfect pace.

Your perfect place.

You find your pace.

Come see me, now.

I am dressed up for you.

If you can remove the layers I have chosen
I trust you to get there.

A warm heart longs to be known.

Out in the cold

You run out in a hurry.

You can handle her, Love.

There is no doubt or worry.

You can handle her, darling.

Or haven't you heard?

That life is a joy

With a girl like a bird.

FIre and Ice

Fire and Ice

I see your fire
And the red of your hair.
You're burning
Alive
And your passion is rare.

(Ice, ice baby.
You seem so rehearsed.
You're telling you'd love love,
But you don't know the verse.)

Pain
Pain
Selfish gain.
Love is for lovers.
Not for the vain.

Love is for love-ers
Feel the song of the rain.

Sing sweetly dear waters
The waters of love
Are rushing and rushing
The song of your love.

Rushing and rushing
The song of your love.
They're rushing and rushing
The one that you love.

Sing sweetly dear waters
Sing deeply dear wind.
For love covers all
The dear char of this sin.

Rush, rush
The wind and the waves
Go gently sweet waters
And wind, slow your pace.

Rush, rush
Why the strong force?
Is love so determined
It can't have a choice?

Rush, rush.
Again, please slow down.
I wanted to tell you
I don't want to drown.

Rush, rush.
Hear the calm of my heart.
I will not regret this.
I want to be smart.

Hear the calm of my waters.
I'm willing to swim
To jump and to play
In the rhythms of Him.

Isaiah 51

Everlasting Salvation for Zion

1 "Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness
and who seek the LORD :
Look to the rock from which you were cut
and to the quarry from which you were hewn;
2 look to Abraham, your father,
and to Sarah, who gave you birth.
When I called him he was but one,
and I blessed him and made him many.

3 The LORD will surely comfort Zion
and will look with compassion on all her ruins;
he will make her deserts like Eden,
her wastelands like the garden of the LORD.
Joy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and the sound of singing.

I am Yours

(Misty Edwards wrote this.)

I danced to it at the photo shoot last Saturday.

Though I sleep, my heart is awake
Though it’s night, on You I wait

It’s been a long night, and I am weary
It’s been a long time, and I am hungry

So I’ll wait in the stillness again
I’ll wait in the quiet again

For when I heard Your voice
When You said my name
When I heard Your voice
My heart it yearned

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
My heart it yearns

Though You’re far away, still I’m here to say
"I am Yours, I am Yours"

And when You feel so far away, still I am here to say
"I am Yours, I am Yours."

And I pay my vows, no turning around
I burn the bridges that can’t be found.

For when I heard Your voice
And You said my name
When I heard Your voice
My heart it yearned
For You.

The Price of Love

Price Of Love
Performed by- Heather Clark

VERSE(1): I have seen a million miles of desert land,
and I have learned to be free.
And I have walked the shadow lands of Egypt,
and I have learned to be free.
And I have held the mane of untamed horses,
and I have learned to be free.
And I have walked on frozen lakes in my soul,
and I have learned to be free.

CHORUS: And I have known the price of love,
And given all I have for a moment's time with you.
And I have died a thousand times,
And I have learned to be free.

VERSE(2): And I have lost what only death could take from me,
and I have learned to be free.
And I have gained what only life could give to me,
and I have learned to be free.

VERSE(3): And I have craved and walked away in the silence,
and I have learned to be free.
And I have looked into the face of injustice,
and I have learned to be free.

God is a Lover Looking for a Lover.

Summer of LOVE.

The idea for the fast was that 40 years ago this summer marked the "Summer of Love" in San Franscisco which was the beginning of a movement of open rebellion and destructive relationships, etc. in the name of love. This summer, our generation is being called to take it back and live lives of REAL love and freedom--using our lives to make a real difference in the name of Love.

We are a generation of lovers who need healing from the brokenness of the hurts of the past. We need eyes to see that real love isn't cheap. Its deeper than some may want to get into. It involves a commitment and results in a life that is free.

What--in the name of Love--is God doing in a generation of seekers so desperately in need of His help? Why don't you ask Him and find out. What can YOU do?

It is funny that the Lord has been talking with me mostly about feasting and not as much about fasting. But I am joining in the prayer efforts and will be asking Him how our generation can reclaim His heart in this 40 day period...

Summer of LOVE.

It's all about timing... (His)

(Luke 5:1-11)

Jesus tells Peter to put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch. Jesus’ command had a specific purpose: He wanted to teach Peter a lesson in trusting Him. Peter was a fisherman and knew the Sea of Galilee like the back of his hand. He had been born there and spent days and nights lowering the nest ever since he was a boy. Peter knew from a human point of view, it wasn’t the best time or place to cast the nets. They had already tried all night and used all their skill, yet caught nothing. By saying “We have been working all night and have caught nothing,” Peter gives Christ a valid human reason not to cast his nets, not to obey his order. To human logic it made sense not to repeat something that hadn’t worked. But Peter also says “But in your name, I will pay out the nets,” making it clear to Jesus that he, a professional fisherman, would never have fished there at that time of day, but that his trust in Jesus was greater than the confidence that came from his experience and practice. In that he is saying that he trusted Christ more than he trusted himself.

They lower the nets and we all know they are instantly filled with fish, so many they need the help of another boat. Everyone is amazed and they throw themselves at Christ’s feet acknowledging their Master’s greatness and their own nothingness. Jesus then lifts up Peter and says “Do not be afraid. From now on it is men you will catch.” With the words of before “put out into the deep,” Jesus is telling Peter there are still new experiences to be had, that he doesn’t know it all, there are powers of knowledge outside of this world, regions of mystery he has yet to explore. When we are to put out into the deep we are to enter into the mystery of God, by faith. This “to put out into the deep,” to believe more strongly, to hope more lovingly, to love more passionately. It invites us to take the path and cast our nets in His name, knowing that He will fill them with an abundant catch! Even if we have tried that spot before at that very time of day : )

Prince Valiant

My dear Prince Valiant
Warrior Strong
Come away for a moment
And I'll sing you a song.

My heart has been singing
Come away,
Love, and rest.
Your body is tired.
Your soul needs a rest.

My arms are around you.
My body with yours.
Forever embrace you.
Tu es m' amour.

To hold you till your brave heart melts
And keep you safe and warm.
I offer myself as your princess of love.
I am shelter from the storm.

Fight on Prince,
Valiant Warrior Strong
And remember your heart sings, too.
And when your heart for a shelter yearns--
Remember my offer to you.

conglitteration: (roots, family, freedom, and wings)

To: princess strong heart
For springtime
In the garden of dreams

The old shell has fallen to the ground
and life breaks forth anew....

Fresh air dispelled to the musty places.
(Open your heart.)

(Were you scared before
for the life passing before you
might only disappoint you ?)

(Enter in.)



Winter has come with a blanket of love to cover the past.
Again.

I say rest.

Child, again, I say, "rest."

The elements:
of
the cold,
the harsh,
the angry
the scared

Protected.
And done, now.

Spring has come..

Death has no victory. Absolutely no sting.

(The shell has been broken.)

Your free hearts can sing!

The tomb of bright expression has pressed forth from within.
Your dream has been planted.

Begin.
Again.

And the world will know.

that wisdom and love
married dancing and singing.

And grace has come for the poor and the needy.

(Love is patient.)
Watch it grow.

Love grows up......
and roots grow below.

Gentle breezes
and warm rains know....

It's a Michigan summer.
(but fly away home)
