All my sand castles fall..


All my sand castles fall
Like the ashes of cigarettes
And every wave drags me to sea
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
With a tear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Does this deafening silence mean nothing
To no one but me?

And if you sing to me sweet until then
I may never sail Virginia again
And as this current moves slow for me
This much you must know
We'll meet again
And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death

Tell me once again
That you'll love me to the death
And should I die
You swear that you will come for me
As I fade away, you reach out your arms
(And please don't let me go)
And please don't let me go
(And please don't let me go)
And please don't let me go

And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my sand castles fall
Like the ashes of cigarettes
And every wave drags me to sea
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
With a tear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Does this deafening silence mean nothing
To no one but me?-Mayday

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?


What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees


What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?


What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life "its" name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love.. Addison road.

I think that sometimes, I make God way to small and that there are moments that I forget just how holy God is. I think it is incredible that I can go a whole day without even thinking about God. Something that big, shouldn't be that easy to put in the back of my mind.

So I say this. Let go, Move forward, and Love God. I am called to have a much deeper relationship with Jesus than just treating him like a good friend.

Let go. Move Forward. Remember what God did for you, and love him every single day.

It is a tad bit scary knowing that is it only the second week of school, and already I can feel that closeness I had with God this summer fading. Move forward.

From sunrise to sunset help me not forget all that you've done for me
From sunset to sunrise help me keep my eyes upon your glory


Warner Camp is where it is at, this summer was one of my all time favorite summers ever. I learned a lot about ministry, a lot about God and so much about myself. It was so nice to go almost 6 hours away from the comforts of my home and into a new place with new people to experience God in a new way.

I will be back at ccu on saturday, I think I am ready for it :) but we will see.

I will update about my life someday...
