Today...
Today I just want to love everyone as hard as I can, and I want to pray all day. I want to keep God at the forefront of my mind, even while I make omelettes at work. Heres to a difficult day, but the best things in life are the things we have to fight for.
Anyone care to join me? Let’s BE the difference today.

Hey you,
Yes you, the one reading this.I want you to know that You’re beautiful, you’re worth it, you’re amazing, and someone loves you.
And this is how I will forever "like" Facebook...
To over analyze
A “bro night” with the guys made it’s way into the week as a complete success. Full of pizza, video games, heavy sarcasm, and no girls. As I drive home at 2 in the morning, feeling relaxed and most certainly at my wit’s end of sanity concerning lack of rest, when thoughts loom into my mind. Knowing these thoughts wouldn’t go away on their own I decide to drive out to...

1189
There are 1189 chapters in the bible. If you were to divide that in half then that would make psalms 118:9 the very center of the bible (same number, coincidence or divinity?). Psalms 118:9 says “It is better to trust and take shelter in God than in princes (man).” I have been having an awful time trusting in people recently. I trust in God though, and quite a bit I may add. This...

To whom it may concern
“Slowly counting down the days til I finally know your name. Oh I’ve missed you, but I haven’t met you, but I want to, oh how I do.”
The Civil Wars know the language of a romantic such as myself. In that simplicity a heart like mine finds strength.

Reluctance, but faith...
You know those times where you feel like Christ is most certainly asking you to do something, but you really don’t want to? For whatever reason it may be: appearances, fear of judgment and or embarassment, lack of motivation- just do what he asks…it’s worth it. It’s not always instant gratification, it certainly isn’t for me tonight, but I look back and know...
The music
The music I write is an extension of myself. If you were to put your ear to my chest you wound’t hear a complex organ pumping beats of blood to the outer reaches of my body, you would hear melodies, harmonies, plucked strings making their way through the farthest reaches of my soul. My songs put a incoherent mess into understandable coherent sentences. The notes I play express the sincerity,...

My Valentine's Day
I worked, came home right into my pajamas. I then wrote a letter to my future wife assuring her that I’m praying for her, and expressing confidently how proud she should be of me for being patient (yes, I’m single and don’t have a love interest…what of it?). I later laid on my couch staring at the ceiling listening to love songs, and now I’m watching romantic...

Valentine's Encouragement
16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope...

Patience, patience, patience.
Here I am sitting in my bed after a good worship session, pondering on my thoughts, and listening to Ellie Goulding because it pleases my ears. I don’t really even know what exactly I want to expound upon, but I think it’s this: being single sucks on occasion. Just saying. On the other hand…sometimes it doesn’t. You know what I really want? Someone to share my faith with....

Tomorrow I turn 19..
idahope:
I know everyone thinks it’s not an important age because it doesn’t give me any new freedoms, but to be honest, I’m kind of freaking out. When someone says they are 18 you think, “they’re still young, they don’t have anything figured out.” Turning 19 means I actually have to grow up, I’m not a kid anymore. I was thinking, “I’ll be getting married here soon, you know 26 or so,” and I...

My favorite thing to do...
I love that my life has gotten to the point where my favorite thing to do is love people. I believe the most powerful thing on earth is Love, so why not share it with everyone?
Synonym for Love? God.

Dear Female Population, Saying “Seriously, you are great! It’s not you…it’s me.” Will only make a guy think “So I’m great, you just want nothing to do with me? What the heck?” -Sincerely, a very distraught and unappreciative guy P.s. you are insane.
It's so encouraging
When parents of the students in the ministry I work for write me an email stating everything they think I need to do (which is substantial…according to them) but they are completely unwilling to assist in making these things a reality.
Dear Parent,
I work 30hrs a week
I’m pursuing a music career
I’m unpaid staff
I’m a 20yr old Worship leader
& I don’t have but...

Neat Thought
A girl falling in love with me because I’m so in love with God…and vice versa. The End

Book of life
Want to know why it’s the book of life? Because while reading it today my mind was so blown by the wisdom being poured into me that I was literally completely rejuvenated and invigorated! I’m so full of life right now, I’m so excited about my faith, and I’m so in love with this God I serve. Go ahead, ask me sometime what I learned today and have your mind blown too.

Some nights...
On some cold, winter, nights I need a really good conversation and some tea to share with someone close to me. Reading a book by C.S. Lewis (No, not just The Chronicles of Narnia) called “The Great Divorce” evokes this want in me. Tonight is most certainly one of those nights. C.S. Lewis, I love you, but why do you have to make my mind go crazy with all these ideas that I want to...

Realization of the day
I don’t talk about what I would like in a relationship because it makes me want a relationship all the more. Though, on days like today when I allow myself to day dream, I think about what kind of date would make me absolutely melt. My ideal date? A picnic in the woods, followed by reading our Bibles under a tree, then to end the day we would just hold hands watching the sun be swallowed up...

Love.
I love it when people like to judge a certain style of people or group of people. Oh wait…did I say “love”? I meant “strongly dislike”. The narrow mindedness and intolerance of this generation drives me nuts. Love one another because there are most certainly bigger enemies to fight than one another over what clothes you wear or what interests you.

Winter Camp
I’m here at Winter Camp for the third year as a counselor and I couldn’t express to you with words from my mouth, mind, or even my heart the honor I feel to be apart of these young men’s lives. God is so big, I’m so small. I’m so glad that God uses little me in such big ways. Heres to God, winter camp, and bigger things.
