Meanings

The website of this blog (thisismydesire.blogspot.com) is from the song "Something Beautiful" by NeedtoBreathe. They are currently my favorite band. (I'm actually listening to them as I write this.)

Hey now this is my desire:
consume me like a fire
'cause I just want something beautiful
to touch me.
I know that I'm in reach
'cause I am down on my knees
and waiting for something beautiful.

All their songs are so good and a lot of them are very encouraging. Another one, called "These Hard Times," talks about how the singer is needing God's love and peace and something worth fighting for. There is so much ugliness in the world and this man wants and needs an answer, a way out, and the faith to believe there is still some good in the world during all the hard times. He wants God to show him all the good things "until my eyes get tired." I think everyone can relate to this song in some way. There is so much sadness in the world and everyone personally experiences it at some point. Only through God can we be completely happy for a long period of time during hard times. I would have used something from that song but I didn't like the idea of having "these hard times" being the first thing you see. :) (It's not 100% clear whether or not NeedtoBreathe is a Christian band but the words to their songs make me truly believe they are.)

Sandy Footprints comes from the poem "Footprints in the Sand." Go look it up! :) Basically, it's about a discovery of God's promise to us and proof that He is always there, especially during the hardest times in our lives.

I wanted to have some sort of beach picture for the background but nothing worked. So, since I'm in Colorado, I decided to just choose the mountains! It's a little intense but no one can really lessen the beauty and intensity of God's mountains. :)
