My brain after midnight.
So it’s been a while since I used tumblr. Since I blogged. Since I’ve written anything down of substance on… well.. anything..
I’ve been “busy”..
following Gods direction, building relationships, having 3 jobs, serving at my church alongside the youth pastor trying to make youth happen every Sunday night, having ALL my family be more than 600 miles away, and...

Just a thought.
“Life is funny. God is wild. Just when you think you know.. You realize you have no idea.”
Thats what was running through my head while I was running tonight.
God likes to keep me on my toes. We have a good relationship. He has a great sense of humour with me. Letting me think I’m in control and then truly show me I’m not. it’s fun.
He also likes to reveal parts...

Wed: schedule appointment for rest.
Time for rest always ends up being a needle in a haystack
I’ve been wanting to write a million things. a million posts. about a million things this week, BUT I just can’t find the time to sit, actually concentrate, and write out my thoughts. funny enough.. one of the posts I want to write is about Rest. the irony is killing me. or is it the lack of rest/breaks? either way. I’m...

Take all of me
The lyrics of this song came out of a very honest point I had in my relationship with God. I knew I had lost trust in Him. I knew I had been planning my own plans and they weren’t with Him. I knew He still loved me. He still loves me and I am His. I had to give up who I was and hand it over to God. His control at times seems chaotic, but trust me it’s still good. He’s still...

Hurry up and wait.
“Hurry up and wait.”
Story of my life… But its an important step that is leading me, and has been leading me, towards the exact place that God wants me to be.
It’s funny because sometimes we can (and when I say “we can” I mainly mean myself) tend to wonder why things are going a certain way, usually negative. I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever really...

Two kids.
Met these two kids today.
I couldn’t help but snap these shots of them.
Writing.
From the moment I wrote my first poem/song/whatever it was, back in 2002, I wrote in secret. I wrote so openly and so honest that I was terrified at even the tiniest chance of someone stumbling upon what i wrote. I hid all of my notebooks and sheets of paper with scribbles on them. I haven’t really changed much from then. I still hold my notebook close to me and never leave it out of my sight as...

Forgotten Promises.
So far, 2011 has been a year of misunderstanding, confusion, deflating pride, crushing stubbornness, tough decisions, rebuilding, and relaying foundation. It’s been a rather tough year already. With things that I didn’t expect would happen, but definitely ended up needing to the fullest degree. Its not over either. I’m right in the middle of what feels like the worst of it. It...

It’s nice when God shows up big time! It’s like a kick in the face. I don’t know what to do with myself right now.

Love or Destruction
So… a thought came to my head as I was driving home this evening.
If God is in control of everything, if Gods plan is being worked out in everything, if God is the conductor, the architect of this magnificent, ethereal, beautifully orchestrated design to be glorified…
then…
The moment we begin to try to take “control” we’re only hurting ourselves. Right?
I...

truth=thinking=emotions. not the other way around....
So, Lately..
I havent posted anything to Tumblr, Ive been lazy when it comes to blogs, and I honestly just forgot I even had a tumblr. But thats not the point.
Sooo..Back to my point.
Lately. I have been in a rut. In my mind, in my heart, in my actions. Definitely underestimating God’s work in me and through me. Not trusting and confident enough to remember that God is always working and...

Strange Thing..
Love is such a strange thing. I’m even afraid to call it an emotion, because when you think emotions you think feelings, and when I think feelings I think momentary, and when I think momentary I think unsteady and and not constant. For me, love is not and shouldn’t be any of those words. Its the strongest and hardest word for me to say what is happening in my very being. In all...

Things change you like it... Things change you...
So recently, things have been changing. It all started 24 years ago. I knew things would come to where they are now at some point. Life has been great, is great, and will be great.
anyways.. all of that out of the way..
My little sister, Brenda, is getting married in 8 days. It’s a surreal feeling. Actually, I don’t think it has, or anything has, really hit me yet. Her and her fiance...

Just a thought before bed..
I am truly impressed by God right now..
He likes to show up in situations when I least expect them.
For the past few months I have had my trust in Him, or have at least tried my hardest to keep it in Him. I know God works things out for His good. So now that He has rearranged things in my life I can’t help but be impressed by Him. Things and situations that all but looked grim, now have a...
