it's funny to me how i can be so much more fond of my doodles than the pieces that i actually spend a significant amount of time on.

I don't know. Everything, it's all just very interesting.

Like how we freak out.
How things turn around.
How years of mild frustration and confusion can be resolved in a single honest conversation.
How we come together.
How we drift apart.
And most notoriously, how we miscommunicate.

For me, there's been a lot to take in over the last month or so, and I'm fairly confident that, for the most part, I've been dealing with things well. But there might be people that will disagree with that. But that's okay.

When I get over my feelings and really think about it, change is amazing.
If not for any other reason than the fact that it's a great catalyst for new and good opportunities.

Anyway, I've been pretty excited recently because I've decided to dive back into this one certain art form that I sort of drifted away from since high school.

I won't deny that it could possibly be my own way of lashing out or something.
But it's a good outlet, I promise. I'm really excited about it.
ART IS VERY FUN.

yay k bye

i dont know what to title this

Today has been profound.
Though the events of today really just ended up bringing me back to sitting here at my desk, something amazing happened today.
Today is characterized in my mind as an incredible victory. The aftermath of an amazing night that will hopefully be repeated many times in the near future.

I feel so encouraged and affirmed. More than I have in quite a while.
I am completely wrapped up in God's infectious love, so much that I kind of don't even know what to do with myself.

Today has been spectacular.

something i remembered today:

never forget and continually remind yourself of the specific instances in your life when God displays his beautiful faithfulness.

keep going forward

for the most part, i think that what i'm waiting for is also something that i have complete control over.
but i don't know if this is true.



because if it were,
i would have gotten it by now.

A Musical Excerpt From My Head

i'm going to be posting more original music in the relatively near future. promise.

oh my...

i've found myself diving deep into a band.
a band that i should have dove into much earlier than now.

anyways,
this band is called the chariot, and they are absolutely rocking my world.

i've been listening to the chariot on and off since they came out with the fiancèe in 2007.

but i saw them last friday at the scream the prayer tour. it was so dang epic.
seeing a band live always changes everything.

with my recent purchase (of the physical copy) of their latest album titled wars and rumors of wars, it is with confidence that i have allowed josh scogin to have a secure place as my current all time musical hero.

the man who started one of my favorite bands (norma jean) then leaves and goes on to start the chariot. and, in my opinion, significantly trumps norma jean in both creativity and style.

this band is certainly a keeper.
not to mention wars is just so freaking badass.

it is 100% worth it to purchase the physical copy. so dew it. D:

Run, run farmer.
Screaming, "bloody murder".
The daughters of question have been murdered.
Deception is charming.
No, I don't think so.

These things, they harmonize and overthrow.
These things will cure;
but they will tear down.

We are not the ones who carry on.
We are not the ones who wear the shroud, tear down.

Liar.
Condescender.
Words born as bastards.
Our swords will rest, and a course in miracles will hail.

And killers will rise.
Where have we gone wrong?
Understanding laced the web.
I don't think so.
