as katy can attest to, i fall in the catagory of the 71% of americans who sing while driving. i love singing, fully knowing that i can't hold a pitch to save my life. i don't care about what i sound like...i just enjoy the freedom of it all. there is one song in particular, you are my joy by david crowder*band that really gets me going. i beat the steering wheel (horribly out of rhthym) and sing at the top of my lungs (again, horribly out of tune). ryan gets a huge kick out of being in the car with me for moments just like these...and katy does too...sometimes!
lately, i've been trying to find the joy in all things, not just the obvious ones. it's amazing just how many things God puts in my life during every moment of everyday for me to find joy in. from the picture on my desk of katy and i to serve as a constant reminder of just why i work so hard at my job, to the birds and airplanes that fly overhead and amaze me, to the music i listen to and find comfort and pleasure in. thanks for the joy...
ps: please say a little prayer for my mom...she's having back surgery today. thanks!
And He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.
With His breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And he set me on fire and I am burning alive.
With his breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And I cannot hold it in
Remain composed.
Love's taken over me
So I propose the letting myself go.
I am letting myself go.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
And He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.
With His breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.
With His breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And I cannot hold it in and remain composed.
Love's taken over me and so I propose the letting myself go.
I am letting myself go.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
I need to catch my breath, I need to.
I need to catch my breath, give me a moment now.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
I'm laughing so hard
And I'm laughing so hard
And I'm laughing so hard

I, ryan, the goofy retard, does get a kick out of it. But it means a tremendous amount to me that you scream that song, because I know why you do. I know what you love about the melodic tendencies of David Crowders perfectly prosed musical collection. I know how much you strive for joy, in Him.
Keep being like Him, I'm pretty sure He(Jesus) would knock the steering wheel out of alignment, pound his foot through the floorboard, and end up flinstoning himself across town as He sang a David Crowder hit.
Keep writing, love you man.
you know, jeff...the lyrics to this song...is seriously the only thing that matters. He is our joy. He is the breath in our lungs. He set us on fire....he's taken over me! the crap that the world has puts us through recently seems insignificant. i can just imagine you and katy and ryan driving and you in the driver seat jamming out. and it makes me smile because ryan is right, thats exactly what Jesus would be doing! and plus you are a big goof ball! haha i love it!
