light the fire

since Tanzanian internet access is limited, instead of videos I'm just going to start putting up free recordings of whatever worship song is on my heart…. and mp3s are probably easier for iPods anyway? I'm quite a perfectionist so in order to even do this at all, I have forced myself to accept the roughness of the quality and limit myself to only 1 or 2 takes…if something's messed up, i'm probably the only one who notices anyway!

my perfectionism is what caused me to epically fail at putting up videos on here this year, like i wanted to….I would go to record something, and do it again and again if I didn't like it, but after a while I'd get tired & my voice would get overworked and I leave to just do it later!

So, enjoy the soundtrack of Zanzibar in the background! No AC here means windows = screens, and the noises of the village waif through the air into my room - bicycles & babies, Islamic prayer calls, roosters, crows & cell phone ringers (….and some of the weirdest sounds you wouldn't believe, I have no idea what creates them..)

i have no real speakers & i'm not great at mixing, i just try to get a balance between what sounds good on my macbook speakers & on my headphones….if it sounds horrible on your speakers/headphones, i apologize!

it's funny that this is the first song I'm putting up, since it's so old (and maybe i'd say cheesy?), but it was just what came out of my heart last night…a cry for the fire of love for God to be revived in me…

like so many things -- any fire, any plant, any relationship, even your physical appearance -- if not tended, will fade and die away. how foolish am I to think that I can ever stop putting my pursuit of Jesus in front of every other activity, desire or physical need
