-Steve Fee-

Strip away the evidence of me Untill Your glory is all there is to see

Lead me Lord onto the altar again
Hide me in the shadow of Your wing Guide me to the place of offering
Lead me Lord onto the altar again

Lead me to the Alar of sacrifice Where I place my heart, my will, my life
Everything before You I lay down All of my trophies and my crowns
Lead me Lord onto the Altar again

Purify my heart, consume my will Burn in me a passion deeper still
Lead me Lord onto the altar again All of me surrendered to Your ways
All for You and only for Your fame Lead me Lord onto the altar again
-Words by Steve Fee-

Yesterday was stressful for many reasons, i guess between studying for my Econ Test, life and my possible major change decision, it was just rough! So after studying all afternoon at Toomer's Coffee... (O, and by the way, i experienced my first blended Vanilla Chai... amazing it was! Thank you Mel and Krisan for intriuging my taste buds to try it, wish you could have been there to experience it!) i get home to take a study break and decide to play a little guitar and just have some Jesus time, quiet my heart and mind just for a bit. "Altar" by Steve is one of my favorites and as i was playing along with it blaring over my stereo the Lord just broke me, the words are amazing! This "coming to the altar" he talks about, is a daily activity... "strip away the evidence of me, dying to myself, coming to the end of Zach and allowing Zach to be an offering for His GLORY to shine thru! So, in the midst of my stress and frustration i heard, "Zach let it go and allow me to take that frustration and stress, lay it on the altar, and find rest and joy in ME!" Consume my will Burn and in me a passion deeper still, so broken i positioned myself to do the only thing i was created for the only thing WE are created for ... WORSHIP. In the midst of my storm, He ALWAYS calms the huge waves of life.

So on a lighter note, my laptop's AC power cable problems continue and today, sadly, my AC cable sparked and after a mini fire in Foy, saw its last bit of current run through its little wires... Ha, kinda funny yet i am now computerless until my new cable comes in from HP. Hopefully withdrawls will be minimal but it is very hard to sit in the Foy student computer lab and make this post... just not the same! At least i remembered my pass word and username this time. Well off to class!
