Sometimes when we aren't feeling God's presence...
kenleigh:
it is because we are not practicing his ways. Are our intentions ones that are commanding the attention of others or are they commanding the attention of people? Even attitudes that are selfish, cynical, or uncaring are still intentions that demand the attention of people-we want to be validated, noticed, made happy by some human means. Those feelings and attitudes are not ones of...
Forgiveness
Why is it that, in general, we are so quick to forgive others, yet so slow to forgive ourselves? I have a friend, an absolutely amazing individual who cannot let go of some of the things he did in his past. He refuses to see the beauty in his character or the worth he actually has in this world because he is blinded by the guilt and shame of this previous mistake. He is not alone in this thought...

This break so far has been amazing. My last final was last Wednesday. Thursday I went snowboarding all day. Friday I spent the entire day rock climbing at Pinnacle Peak. Saturday I went snowboarding again. Sunday I had Church in the morning, Holy Ground (which was amazing) at night and then after longboarded until ridiculous hours of the night. Today I ran around...
And now that your here, everything is different, everything’s so different.
I know I’m not the same. My life you’ve changed.
I want to be with you. I need to be with you.
So why am I running away? Why am I not taking the time I know I need?
I hear noises in the other room. Random. I need to go to bed. Fuck…

So I just got the most amazingest and coolest idea ever! I am actually more excited about this idea that came into my head than I am to go boarding in 6 hours! Now thats saying something! I just hope I can make the time to follow through with this idea! AHHHHH! So STOKED!
I AM SO PROUD OF MY SISTER! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!
Fear
Fear is a unique thing. It leads people to do insanely crazy things to escape it. It controls people. It manipulates people. And it completely baffles me. I get fear, but I do not understand it. I guess this is because in general, I am a pretty crazy, thrill seeking, fearless kinda guy who doesn’t let fear control what I do. I try to never miss an opportunity to do anything because I am...
The Beezie
So Steven came over tonight for what I thought was going to be just a few hours of hanging out. But when he showed up he had his night bag so I knew what was up. He then proceeded to tell me “oh by the way, I’m sleeping over.” I freaking love this kid! Even when he cracks my computer screen and proceeds to snore as loud as all get out after he falls asleep! Sometimes I wish I...
I am missing something.

Exodus 32
25 Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock to their enemies. 26 So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” And all the Levites rallied to him.
27 Then he said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each...
A song of the last year of my life...
Who am I to know Your glory?
Who am I to recognize your voice calling out?
How could I be in Your story?
God who was and is and is to come
Who is One
I was dead in my sin
You came in
You made a way when there was no way
You covered heaviness with garments of praise
You wrote a song and You’re singing it over me
I feel a dead heart beating now
This revelation makes me want to...
oh man
I’ve got a lot going on up in my head right now. It’s driving me crazy.
Today was good. Hung with Olsen, Chris, family, and Carly. But the whole day I was distant. I was with them but I was in my deep thought mode. I came up with a lot of stuff. I realized a lot, including that when I get overloaded I run from my emotions. Today has been my unintentional approach to plug back into...
Genuinely real and honest friendships are extremely difficult…
Out of despair rises a prayer…
Can we take in your light?
So we can shine like you?
With all this weariness can we shine like you?
We are loved…
I can’t define Your love but I need it I need it yeah I can’t give enough of me but You want it so I’ll give I don’t deserve Your love but I have it, I have it now
Show me love, show me life, give me time Because I want to shine in spite of who I am Sow me love, give me time Because I want to shine in spite of who I am

I believe you I believe you! I love you so much God it’s something that drives me insane because I can’t even begin to form it into any physical way of expression! I find myself longing to be in your presence! I listen to songs all day long of how much I crave your overwhelming love! God...
There is nothing better than walking into your room and being greeted by christmas lights! =)
