The Name(s) (above all names)

The Lamb that was slain
Blood drips from His Mane
Hear His mighty roar
in the Rain that is His name
He will downpour
but not be shaken
For He is the Rock
do not be mistaken
He is ruled by no clock
For He rules all of time
as He Shepherd's His flock
He is the Shrine we look up to
knowing that Sin is beat
and Death - Defeat
by the powerful Physician
who is in the position
Paying no tuition other than Blood
He died. Oh El Shaddai
You are the Adonai
The Giver and Healer
the Lover and the Sealer
of the promise.
These are the Names to Praise Him.
Elohim,
sometimes revealed in a dream
serving the winning Team
He is the King of Kings.
The Lord of Lords
is to be adored
Yeshua and Immanuel
Over comer of Hell.
Alpha and Omega
the First and the Last
Lover before there was Past
Hope of the earth
after the Future
giving us worth
healing our sutures.
These are the Names to Praise Him.
You are the Word
to be heard
forever we are safe
for You even feed the birds
No longer a waif.
I call you Savior
but you are Creator
and in my behavior
I will not waiver
and when I do
you find favor in me.
The ultimate Priest, Jesus
You slay the beast
we hunger for You God
The satisfying Feast
To Jehovah we applaud
The Prince of Peace.
The Husband and Father
Conquering the grave
You are the Son sent to save
and You pave the way down this narrow path.
After the aftermath of Your wrath
in Truth I stand
Abba,
Author and Bread of Life
You are no knife
But rather The Sword
The Harpsichord of Holiness
Comforter, Commander, Christ.
These are the Names to Praise Him.
All Consuming Fire
You never grow tired
being the Cornerstone in which we rest our faith.
Deliverer and Gentle Whisper
Holy Spirit guide me
Light of the World provide me
Messiah and Leader.
Master when I'm cold be my Heater.
Mold me like clay
Oh Ancient of Days
be my Rabbi and say
here you stand
know that I AM.

My Deluge


1st day working in the rain -

Andrew and I got to the first house we were gonna mow the lawn for. It was looking like it might pour, so we sat in the car hoping to wait it out so we could go home early. Lady luck was laughed in our faces until we finally sulked out of the car. Trudging towards the trailer to take out the mower and weed eater I could hear a faint....static sound. Almost like white noise in the distance, calling for attention. It wasn't until I unlocked the trailer door that I looked up. That's when I saw a wall of thousands of water droplets rushing towards us. After only a second of hesitation I quickly ran for my life back to the truck, leaving andrew (wearing headphones), bewildered, to his watery fate. The deluge hit me right as I jumped in the truck, andrew...was not so fortunate. When he finally jumped in he was dripping wet. It was amazingly awesome. This onslaught of hydrogen and oxygen kept us at bay in our safe-house of a truck for the next thirty minutes. We called our boss and he told us to go work other jobs and come back.

2nd day of working in the rain -

So many frog deaths in one day. The last rain spawned forth an army of frogs that I'm sure in numbers, rivaled what Moses called forth some thousands of years ago. My weather map told us rain was on it's way, another early day is what corey, andrew and I were hoping for. What we were NOT hoping for or even expecting was the massive amount of frogs there were. Sadly, with my weed eater I killed several small frogs. Chopping in half, splitting open and decapitating the little babies was quite rough. I could feel my soul knotting up. Then some fat, doofus toad decided it would be a good idea to hop IN-BETWEEN my spinning strings of death, from behind a tree. All I saw was a huge toad fall into my weed eater, then get shot back like a rocket in between my legs. I stopped working and stood there, horrified and unwilling to look back at the carnage that resided just behind me.
That's when it started pouring. The rain broke one of the blowers, so when I finished weed eating I noticed nobody else was done mowing, so I had to blow. If you've ever tried blowing off thousands of pieces of WET grass off a drive way...it's not easy. It takes forever and all the while the rain relentlessly continued it's barrage from above. 1st rain day > 2nd rain day. But it was nice just being able to...be still. I may had been working and grass may had been blown in my face all day, but when no one can hear you, and you can't scream loud enough for a listening ear to pick you up...you feel free. Free to let your mind relax, run on auto pilot for a bit while you sort things out with God. It was a good time.

Rain rain go away by Breaking Benjamin just came on my shuffle

My Time Wasted


"Girls are stupid, they should have rocks thrown at their heads."

I somewhat miss when the puppy love heartbreaks were the hardest things going on. When the greatest and highest law of life was that your mom had to drive you around to where ever you wanted to go. Back when I would run through the highschool hallways because I was late for class and run into people like anna hill, rebecca campbell, brian purkiss and others.

Life was so simple back then. The only worries I had was getting my homework done so I could call my friends before it was bedtime. Countless sleepless nights spent finishing procrastinated spanish homework. Persecuting parentals plagued my person.

Now I have a job that pays for my car, gas, phone, (soon rent and food), school full time and hopefully a social life.

I really did take for granted the time I had when I was in highschool.

*le sigh*

I haven't read my bible today, maybe thats why I'm so pissed off.
Or maybe the realities of life are finally catching up to me and I did nothing to prepare for them...
