| Freshman year in college was a piece of cake. I flew by without really doing much reading or studying, and had really good grades... This year stinks. I have more work than I can possibly do in the hours that I have. I have no idea what happened. Last year I participated in around 6 intramural sports a semester. This year I have done 3... I think people should just relax a little, ya know? It's just life! Why are we taking it so seriously? I mean, I am all for education, but not at the expense of life itself... BTW, the Buccaneers are amazing. Go team. And I am just rambling here... | | |
| Sooo... I am now fully aware of the fact that you don't know how much you value something until you lose it. If you don't believe that is a fact, try taking a fast from something you spend a lot of time on. I know there are so many things I daily take for granted. I know I should be falling face first on the floor thanking God for the many blessings he has given to me. But for some reason I tend to forget that the joys of life are none of my doing. That my very ability to walk is by the grace of God. I remember when I went to Peru on a missions trip a few years ago. About 4 weeks in to the trip I could not wait to come home. I loved the impact we were having on the poverty stricken people in that region, but I really wanted real food and A/C! Going without certain amenities really made me understand how much I value those things. Moving from Florida to Texas made me realize how much I valued the relationships I had, but it also made me understand how much I allowed those relationships to dictate how my life would work instead of letting God have the reigns. I also love sports. If you have spent any time around me you know I love any form of competition, especially if it involves a football, basketball, or Frisbee. At school I have been on a ton of different intramural teams in order to appease this obsession. Then today I split the skin on my knee open and had to get 7 stitches to bring the displaced skin back together. No more sports for at least 6 weeks. I am dying here! But what little time I have had to reflect on the lesson I have once again learned has allowed me to reset my priorities. It is very easy to say that God is #1 in your life, it is different to actually act on that statement. None of the things I value are inherently bad, but I really have learned that when God is not first in your life, something needs to change. Hopefully I can use this time to strengthen my relationship with God (and get caught up on some school work), and I hope the next time I need to learn a lesson it doesn’t involve an injury. But if that is what it takes to get my attention, then God... Have at me! | | |
| Yup, I'm already working on songs for the second CD... here is the first Beautiful Illusion Just a dream Just a dream Just a dream My beautiful illusion Wait for this dream to become my reality See the sunrise as it breaks my darkness Unveil the beauty of a perfect moment Never fear Looking past the beliefs of actuality Clinging to the distant dreams of my emotions Hoping still that the impossible will happen, Never fear Are you real? Are you real? Are you real? My beautiful illusion Surrounded by the constant doubts of my anxiety Living in a helpless state of insecurity Is my faith only a dream I have created? Are you real? The outside world is often crippled by the broken heart The truth being veiled by the longing for something your not I close my eyes to protect your flawless innocence Are you real? Never fear Never fear Near fear My beautiful Illusion Watch how life plays out before me Watch how time never waits till I see Wait for the day when I’ll be set free Never fear Stand and wait till you draw closer This testing journey I can now call over Trust in the one who holds my future Never fear We are free We are free We are free My beautiful illusion | | |

Today we salute a great man who was lost. Steve Irwin, you will be missed. For those of you who did not know, The Crocodile Hunter was lost just a few days ago while filming a documentary film off the Australian coast. He was stabbed in the heart by a stingray and died moments later. This man was an inspiration to so many, including myself. He taught me to conquer my fears, because if you don't, how will you have any fun? Because of him I am not afraid to skydive... because of him I am not afraid to jump off a 15 foot ledge with the hopes that a tree branch will lower me to the ground (a bad idea, by the way)... Because of him, I am not afraid. It is so sad to see him go. I will miss his movies, specials, and interviews on late night TV. I will miss his nonchalance in dealing with life and death situations. But most of all, I will miss his accent. So on behalf of all your fans, farewell, Mr. Irwin... Farewell. | | |
| May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays. For I know that waiting is painful. But forgetting is also painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering...
Waiting and hoping are much of life, for as soon as a dream is realized, it ceases to become a dream. One must realize that we can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have not first waited in the darkness. It is here we find true hope. Hope is a state of mind that is not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is believed to be good. If it were not for hopes, the heart would break. For it seems the dream is always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that will be the miracle. Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Is not dreaming, after all, an ethereal form of planning? So I dream so we don't have to be apart for so long. For if we're in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time. So I dream because dreams are like the paints of a great artist. My dreams are my paints; the world is my canvas. Believing is the brush that will convert my dreams into a masterpiece of reality.
So I dream of the joys and sorrows that are to come.
I wait for that perfect sun to rise.
And I believe that things will one day never be the same.
