Love Awakened

Sunday, July 19th, 2009
Hello my dear, my love,
I just wanted to let you know,
I’m thinking of you. I’m dreaming of you.
It’s true, I awoke,
With thoughts of you.

I saw you lying next to me,
A quiet smile embraced your face.
Your hair flowed across the pillow,
And twisted itself around my fingers,
Like a vine securing itself to a fence.
Perfume softly wrapped itself around you,
Your skin soft as the linens we shared. (more…)

Crossing into Quito: Ceaseless Content

Monday, January 19th, 2009
I’ve talked with some of my friends lately about what’s going on there life and what they’re struggling with. As a result of these conversations, I’ve realized that I missed a few key points in my previous post about quieting your ambitions. The most common situation I’ve encountered in these discussions is a discontentedness with their current situation or location. We all struggle with knowing God’s will for our lives; as I addressed in “Quieted Ambitions“, the key to knowing God’s will, is not wanting to know, but rather simply just following Him. For some of us, God has revealed His will to us at a young age, and for others, we still don’t know, but we can both be guilty of not quieting our ambitions, even if our ambitions are Gods. It’s confusing I know, but I’m going to try to explain.

Apology to My Best Friends

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008
I am by the work of God a very intimate guy; I long for closeness, to be trusted and loved, and to disciple and love someone. For the majority of my life (highschool and before), I was isolated. I’ve always been a computer guy (dad’s an electrical engineer), and by some established law of nature, we tend to be fine with being socially unaccepted (or maybe it’s just we know we’re smarter and will make more money than the average people lol). Even my “friends” at church I rarely hung out with or talked to. They ignored me, I ignored them, mostly. I mean I’d go to a birthday party here and there, but no “hey Caleb, want to come over after church” stuff. That all began to change pretty drastically when I met who I now consider my best friend (henceforth named John).

Until I’m Still, When, After

Thursday, December 4th, 2008
God, Until I’m still, I am nothing
Until I’m still, I have nothing
Until I’m still, I desire everything
Until I’m still, I have no purpose
Until I’m still, You are small

When I’m still, I feel alive
When I’m still, You’re all I have
When I’m still, I desire You
When I’m still, my purpose is
When I’m still, You are all

After I’m still, You are everything
After I’m still, I have power from You
After I’m still, my desire is Your desire
After I’m still, my purpose lives
After I’m still, You are alive within

Close To Your Heart

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

You look down from heaven
And melt me with your gaze
Then you come down from heaven
And wrap me in your wings

And it makes me feel loved again
So close in your arms
And it makes me feel home again
So close to your heart
