Glen Hansard - Lies Lyrics

I think it's time, we give it up
And figure out what's stopping us
From breathing easy, and talking straight
The way is clear if you're ready now
The volunteer is slowing down
And taking time to save himself

The little cracks they escalated
And before we knew it was too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it is too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you'd slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

So plant the thought and watch it grow
Wind it up and let it go

What's up?

Right now I am in transition. I am finishing up one last course for my degree and living at home. My 15 hour, very part time job at the church just finished up a week ago and now I am hunting. Hunting for a full time job that is. I just applied to the hospital for a custodian position. I also applied to a job at the Woodland park zoo for security. Both would pay more than enough to live off of. Today I talked to a guy that is the youth pastor at Canyon Hills Community Church. He seems like a nice guy. He dropped the hint that they might be looking for another guy to work in youth ministry, but still need to work out what that looks like.

So who knows what is down the road. Hopefully full time work and not living with the parents, but we shall see.

Change.

"The key to change...is to let go of fear."

"There is nothing wrong with change if it is in the right direction."

"Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender who you are for what you could become."

"Any change, even change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts."

"The key to success is often the ability to adapt."

So why all the talk about change? I believe that to lack the willingness to change is a sign of selfish ambition that will only stunt the potential for God's work in my life. It's kind of a big deal. If I become so set in my ways that the thought of change stirs anger and resistance, then I don't find that I am allowing God's shaping and molding to occur in my life.

How much of the Christian life requires risk or maybe...Faith? How many examples of self-sacrifice, often giving up personal, self-serving desires, for the the sake of the gospel?
