Things ive managed to do.

So ive managed lately to write like three and a half songs recently. Really as of this week.. ive been collaberating with one of my friends from work.

Work at The Homestead has been tough lately. More is being expected of me and im trying to do my best, but sometimes you just have to suck for a while I guess in order to really get into the flow of things (especially in a fine dining kitchen).

Anyway, I think im going to start keeping track of my cooking escapades and maybe give instructions on how to do them! Also if you have never heard of The Flavor Thesaurus by Niki Segnit its awesome! Its laid out really well and she has really insightful things to say about certian flavors and dishes which can also be really funny.

Hopefully ill record that song that those lyrics from my last blog is from. Also, if you havent gone to my soundcloud you should check it out my username is: DrScones
Ive been messing with some more electronic stuff.

from the sheep whose berings are on carparavel,

All im waiting for

All im waiting for
A quiet pastures snow
A ticking clock and a piano

So that youll meet with me
So that youll speak with me

With the risk of loving
it costs us everything
But here I sit patiently

So that youll meet with me
So that youll speak with me

Yet what I wait for
I wait in vain
For you're already here, you already love

I am ashamed
To have made you
Try to be, be something else
That would love me less
Than you do now.

Houstom.

Mmmmmmmmmmm

Thoughts pt. 2

There have been several things on my mind lately.

Or rather, I guess i’ve been teetering between several frames of mind.

Much of it having to do with noise.
Not noise in the physical sense, but rather the noise that eats up our lives.

The things we do to take us away from the reality of who and where we are.

I am really keen to this noise. only because when I am immersed in it for more than half a week I can’t function at all. Id even say that each day that starts with noise is a day thats already half won by the enemy. It takes so much more effort to fight back what you already allowed the enemy to put in your mind then when it comes up later on. Then you can deal with it. but when you’ve already been bathed in the enemy’s deceit from the start, things fester and build on top of one another.

Stillness is what happens when we surround our thoughts and actions with the heart and will of God. Its not necessarily being quiet, like with physical sound, but its a frame of heart that requires an honest, disciplined attitude thats willing to surrender whatever is on our minds- that being most of the time, especially things like worry, anger or bitterness.

We will never have any excuse to circumvent stillness, ever. It is required to hear from the Lord. Not circumstance nor attitude because of circumstance.

-not seeking the stillness of heart is denying Gods voice in your life. Its that big of a deal. Thats what God requiring all of us means. He wants all of our thoughts. Not arbitrarily, but because he knows how frail we are. He knows how easy it is for us to lose hope, to fall into the lies of the devil that tell us nothing matters, or conversely that trivial things matter way more than they do.

The Lord is good in all his deeds. He will take you places you never thought. He will sustain you like you never thought. He is always what you need, and you will find that true if you’re willing to try.

From the sheep who is worried much of the time about trivial things and is calmed down by the Shepherd,

Thoughts

Last nights sermon reminded me of the importance of being in control of your mind, not the other way around. 

I wrote this in my note book at the end of the sermon:

The wickedness of my life originates in an ember, patient, diligantly watching for streams of kerosene within my imagination.

Oh, that it would be water that flowed, or better, the blood that spills from an overflowing alter that was joyously wept upon after the victorious sacrifice of God the Father.

Yet, it is not in desperation, as if we would never experience that flood, but a wonderful reality that starts with a conscious, relieveing surrender of our thoughts that is free from our self loathing.

--------------

Then we say, after surrender

I will humble myself,
I will restrain myself from folly,
Just to listen to you.
Just to narrowly capture a picture
Of your perspective.

For a glimpse contains
The blood from an eternal stream.
That being the cost of your loving us.
