St. Antony quotes

"Let us not look at the world and think that we have renounced great things, for even the whole world is very small when compared with all of heaven."

"Now 'turning back' is nothing but feeling regret and thinking once more about worldly things."

"All you really need to know is where you belong"

I know that every time
I find the one thing that holds me back inside
I want to tear apart
And bring my selfish pleasures at your feet
Every part of me is an offering,
I will set forth and lay it down at your throne
Because I live for you alone

[CHORUS]
No matter what it takes I will offer,
Everything I am I give to you
Even unto death I will follow,
No matter what the price I will give to you now

I won’t throw this time I have aside,
Your the very prize I have in sight,
You’ve placed this purpose down in me,
And it burns so deep
Let this life I lead bring you all the glory,
I’m entrusted with a gift that I can’t hide
Revive my heart, revive my mind

To live is to really die
I will keep this steady pace,
Until that final day

Phrases I like

"servus sevorum Dei" = "servant of the servants of God"

"universe of discourse" = "all values of a variable in a particular domain"

"painting the world the color of Jesus"

"Little is Much" by downhere

I feel like this song describes my summer with Youth in Mission in El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico.

What is the measure of a life well-lived?
If all I can offer seems to0 small to give?
This is a song for the weaker, the poorer, and so called failures

Little is much when God's in it
And no one can fathom the plans He holds
Little is much when God's in it
He changes the world with the seeds we sow

Who feels tired and unqualified?
Who feels deserted and hung out to dry?
This is a song for the broken, the beat-up, and so called losers

Consider a Kingdom in the smallest seed
Consider that giants fall to stones and slings
Consider a child in a manger
Consider the story isn't over
What can be done with what you still have

first post!

Okay, so some of these lyrics may not exactly match what I'm going through at the time, but I like them. :) These are recent ones that have shown up on my Yahoo Launchcast station.

"And if all we’ve got is what no one can break
I know I love you
If that’s all we can take
The tears are coming down
They’re mixing with the rain
I know I love you, if that’s all we can take"
(Mat Kearney, "All I Need")

"speak, and say the words that no one else will ever say
love, love like the world we know is over in a day"
(Jars of Clay, "Show You Love")

"I remember the day when the love of God
landed in our town
He took all the silent and broken hearts,
fixed them up and gave them a sound
you had almost every different kind of kid
from every different kind of social background
taking all the cool they had and praising God,
as He spun them around
when God came to town..."
(Rock N Roll Worship Circus, "Gift of Cool")

"no parachutes or safety nets here
one foot on the water to face these fears"
(Mat Kearney, "In the Middle")

"Take my will, take my all
Wrap my life around Your call
Set apart to sing Your praise
To live the difference in these days"
(Newsboys, "Take My Hands")
