for You i will

"Do not be afraid of men," God told me two weeks ago. "Rather, pray for men's hearts, that they may turn to Me and be saved."


Uh-huh. Yesterday i looked, and suddenly i had many comments (last month, i got just one...and from my ever-reliable "suki" (patron)) and to be honest, i was scaaaaaared. Frickin'.


Someone who professes as much as i do should not have anything to be afraid of, right?

So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:6)

So OK. i am --- was --- scared of what they might think of me, and of what they might say of me, and of what they might say to me.


Well, thank God, those fears were unfounded. (And even if they were not, so what right?)

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set
up." (Daniel 3:16-18)

anyways. :) am still breathing. hopefully a little more confident this time :)

For You I Will (Confidence)
by Teddy Geiger
(see video here)


Wondering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair 'round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will


Forgive me if I stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
'Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, i've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

For you

If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echoes in every room
I would

That's what I'd do,
That's what I'd do to get through to you

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
