A Great Day

I had a pretty good day today.

Sunday,
Hallelluja!
It's not that far,
not that far away!

The message at new life church was really awsome! You can listen to it at http://www.newlifechurch.org/. there was one by a vissiting pastore several weeks ago that was really awsome, too. All on life with the holly spirit. It's the kind of message that inspires you to go beyond where you are. We also took comunion at church today. It is awsome to think about Christs blood covering us so that we can have comunion with Him. I grew up in the school of thought where I thought I had to be so good, nearly perfect to take comunion, and it very well is true that we should patch up offenses before, before going to church even isn't a bad idea. But comunion is all about not being perfect. Well, maybe not all about about, but is directly related to His death and resurecction... becaue we are not perfect.

Anyway, I also made a new aquantance today, which is always really neat.

And then we went to garden of the gods and hiked arround and explored, and shot some footage, and did some rock scrambling. We went up pretty high. It was very fun!

Of couorse, in every happy day, there is a cloud, and the clooud for this one was that not all the people I love were near, or together with eachother. And of course there is the longing to get everything right in my life. LOL.

But I was so encouraged.

I returned thte electric guitar I got from the pawn shop, but they wouold only give me in store credit, so I had to decide what I wanted. I chose an FX peddal for a guitar, a mic, and a mic stand. I like the FX peddal, and the mic stand, but havn't gotten to test the mic out yet. Not that I havn't played the guitar and pretended to sing into it ;)

Tomarrow I am supposed to start work on Fort Carsen. That will be interesting and involve new things I have never encountered in my job (gutter installation) yet. It should last us a week, so that will be nice, somewhat steady work.

I Fealt like writting some poetry tonight, so here it is, freehanded in, right at the moment.

Light The Fire
by Matt Meek

When my love fades
May Your Love, o Lord
Shine on through
and take the place
of all mine, weak frail
inperfect

And Light the fire
Let it burn
Fanned by love
not of this world

Yeah light the fire
shine in the night
and cut the dark
that shrouds my heart

I just tried to Love
To hard by myself
and made all Your things
my very own
But You can help
Your Spirit Empowers
and filled with Your love
I can go on.

So Light the fire
Let it burn
Fanned by love
not of this world

Yeah light the fire
shine in the night
And cut the dark
that shrouds my heart

I wanna love
like You love the church
and I wanna grow
Breaking free
to praise You more
May all I do
be sweat to You

Even love for her

So Light the fire
Let it burn
Fanned by love
not of this world

Yeah light the fire
shine in the night
and cut the dark
with Your Light

You all see, it is quite possible to write a love song for a girl to God. Ok, ok, I know, I'm crazy. BUt at least it is a good crazy.

Backwards World (Earth Mix)

This is just a quick post for all of you, my ever so loyal mans, that I have uploaded a new song of mine to my Xanga site. http://www.xanga.com/MattMeek. It is called Backwards World (Earth Mix) by Matt Meek. You can read a little more detail on the xanga page.

I picked up an electric guitar this last saturday, I really like it, but it just isn't everything a guy needs in a guitar. SO it willl wind up returned, or exchanged, for one more like what I am looking for.

I got a load of work this week, so I'll probably be pretty busy. But I will try to keep everyone posted.

Hope you all enjoy the song,
Later,
Matt Meek

The Beatifull snow

When all is said and all has come undone,
before the sun, the moon and stars grow dark,
before the ddays of youth are spent in veign,
before the dust reclaims its own again.

Breith on me
Breith oh breath of God

There has been plenty of things that have gone on the last week.

One is that right now my mp3 player is stuck on and I fear that if I hit that reclusive reset button it will erase everything on it, including the voise memoes that i havn't moved to my laptop. The manuak gives no clues.

On Friday... well, let me try to paint a picture with words. It was a house, set back from the road, and surounded by tall pine trees, in the foothils of the Colorado Rockies. It was a quaint little place, a combanation of log wood siding, and stone. The serien scenes faint noises were even farther dampened by a blanket of snow. Large flakees floated to the ground in a peacefull manual. The house, by all appearant reasons, had been empty for a while. A heard of deer, aproximately 10 to 15 in size, nibled on what stuck above the snow, or bark on trees. A screach broke the peace, the deer looked up, but did not run. This new intrussion was that of a gutter instalattion mans drill, as it cut its way through the stone wall so as to attache a downspout. All the while he wished for a camera. Oh to capturing the moment with film , instead of interupting it. Such is life.

This snow was one of winters attempts to hold off summer.

On Thursday work was cut short in the middle of the day due to the ferotiousness of the weather.

I signed on for a part time position... wish I could explain it, but I can't. If you want, shoot me an email, you can come SEE it in action. Pretty neat to do.

By the way, my mp3 player woke up.

I decided that if at all possible I will try to make it to boston and NY city next weekend.

I get to take a beautifull puppy up to a new owner tomarow, but it will brobably mean I miss church.

Sleaping in fealt so good this morning! Morgans socker game was a flat out succes. 7 to 0, or something like that. Of course at that age it isn't very competitive.

There's a light at the end of this tunnel,
Shining bright at the end of this tunnel
for you, for you

Well, I gotta go. Talk later all!

Verses of Hope

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.

Why are you cast down oh my soul? Hope thou in God.

One of my favorite songs is Everlasting God, by Brenton Brown.

Can't let Go

Just finished August Rush, for the second time. After meating a new aquantance on facebook, Gail, I have been dreaming of music school the last week. It would be so cool, to be able to be trained, yet I fear the "box".

So anyway, the movie tonight reminded me of the thought of a music school again. Would it work? Could it even be possible? I dunno, I just know I gotta ask Gail.

I love all the... music, the movie is full of music!

I love this movie besause it doesn't put love at first sight down, and doesn't mock those who want to follow that first true attraction. Dreams, and feelings can be true. Why do we put it down in our society? Oh, forget it is the common theme. Even ammong christians. NOt that I'm saying we can just be led by our emotions (that was a disclaimer)

No, I don't agree with all the philosophy in the movie. But did anybody ever wonder what it is like to love somone for 8-10 years? Without hardly any contact with them?

I think I'm just crazy sometimes.

A few words came to my mind earlyer today:

and I can't let it go,
Yet I'm giving it away
And I cant let you know
That I thought of you today

Four lines. that's it. While sitting in the parking lot at the grocery store.

Well, this guy's gotta work early tomarow, write at you later.

Sincerely,
Matt Meek.
