weight

you don't know what comes next. you just never know. something is stirring, a discontent i am not quite convinced to call holy. for i have my insecurities, my inadequancies, my demons, my pitfalls, tendencies, temptations and snares at my heel... but something is stirring, groaning, for much more than our little content warm huts.

woke up this morning, with a new video idea, involving just about anyone in our community.

in an email to a friend, whatever i wrote, brought me to a listening point...

"...the hours and nights spent just for a product that spans a few minutes of someone's listening time that might possibly change them forever, bringing them to a listening point, perhaps even saving their lives from apathy, suicide, oppression, deception by the present day beasts and machines... the profound weight we have no idea that's resting on our shoulders. God have mercy. God deliver us."

a chorus came racing into my head that sounded so right, that even the guitar was humming along to the soul within...

"don't let the weight of the world
rest on your shoulders tonight
don't let it weigh you down
He's got it all in His hands
Cos you ain't God
you ain't your story yet..."

or something like that. this new brew feels like the theme to AD08. More than what I had intended before. with the idea of a seed, germinating, our stories all a part of His tapestry and history. this new direction sounds like the anthem i had dreamt of. i can now truly hear the choir!

i've got my hair standing on ends with an out of body experience. God, would you write this with me?
