August...August and everything after

Its the name of a great album...a great album by a good band. Its the name of the album because the writers birthday is in August.

Mine isn't...but thats still a good title.

August is here. I have had a new revalation...I should write. DUH!! How many times do I need to hear that, from friends, family, thoughts rollin' around in my head....hey jot that down...I should write about this or that.

okay
OKay
O-KAY!

How do I start it...what do I say...what do I write about? My life?

"Huh? I am not a bum. I'm a jerk. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now I only have two things: my friends and... uh... my thermos. Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi."

Ok, not me...lets start over...

well, i guess you'll have to read the book. pray for me that I have direction, words, time, and good grammer...grammar? see I need help!

Again this is on my mind...it seems to be a theme these days.

Casting Crowns The Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat
I'm in On to the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, You'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, You'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves aren't looking so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus Singing over me

3rd Day Show Me Your Glory

I caught a glimpse of Your splendor
In the corner of my eye
The most beautiful thing
I've ever seen
And it was like a flash of lightning
Reflected off the sky
And I know I'll never be the same

Show me Your glory
Send down your presence
I want to see your face
Show me Your glory
Majesty shines about You
I can't go on without You, Lord

When I climb down the mountain
And get back to my life
I won't settle for ordinary things
I'm gonna follow You forever
And for all of my days
I won't rest 'til I see You again

Show me Your glory
Show me Your glory
I can't live without You
