what i heard today...

"So—who is like me?
Who holds a candle to me?" says The Holy.
Look at the night skies:
Who do you think made all this?
Who marches this army of stars out each night,
counts them off, calls each by name
—so magnificent! so powerful!—
and never overlooks a single one?

Why would you ever complain, O Jacob,
or, whine, Israel, saying,
"God has lost track of me.
He doesn't care what happens to me"?
Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening?
God doesn't come and go. God lasts.
He's Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.

They spread their wings and soar like eagles,

They run and don't get tired,

they walk and don't lag behind.

(Isa. 40:25-31 MSG)

song.

I close my eyes and pretend to be all at sea Feel the breeze soothing my tear burning face and i laugh out loud at the sound of the crashing waves Seagulls scream your name Don't want to think it's all allright we have to fight for taking this truth to destination it is too precious to waste The mist closes us in like some ghostly ballet Can't see the horizon But hey, it is going to be a new day Still today.

don't i feel...

...shallow.
I just spent few (or more) minutes
to read some really good stuff from
people listed here on the right side------>
And then i started feeling a bit selfish,
self-obsessed and shallow,
as everyone else seemed to be writing
genius and deep and meaningful things.
Oh boy.
*break here, just learned to say in arabic
"our God is our peace"*
Well. Without any self-pity,
i guess i need conversation to promt me
to more deeper stuff, and as long as
this continues being monologue,
i'll keep just chatting...
haha. And did i have a point here?
Not so, maybe, but i love you, miss you
and look forward to some great conversations.

gossip girl ;)

Mundane Monday

To find and listen music i have been listening
while writing this blog entry, surf to www.last.fm
and search for station called "music like misty edwards".
Sorry i have been flooding this blog with quotes,
but sometimes i just find that they have already phrased
(not sure if that is english haha) my thoughts better
than i ever could and sometimes i just find them amusing,
disagreeable or thought raising... This one i found from
my friend's quotes wall on facebook, so thanks Cal,
i really liked this one. Sometimes danger is the most attractive
quality of a man, especially if he is dangerous but trusted to be good.

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act out their dream with open eyes, to make it possible."
- T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Quoting my brother "But as Mr Beaver so rightly says, "...course he isn't safe. But he is good."
(read more from here )

Dreaming, potential of adventures, a dash of danger int the air, and trusting how God is good.
I guess this not so mundane monday after all.
