the why’s

so a while back i said i was gonna have this blog and i was gonna update it a lot and stuff… and i didn’t. go figure. this time i’m for real (famous last words). this is something i’ve wanted to do for a really long time and tonight i finally sat down, thought hard, and figured this blog thing out and i think i got it down, maybe:/ anyway, i don’t just want this to be another blog about my life where i tell you what’s going on and you say, “wow, cool, look what he’s doing!” i would love for this to be a place where you can come read and maybe just maybe learn something or hear from the Lord in the midst of what He is doing in my life.  i can’t believe that the Lord has taught me the things that He has just so i can hold it in and keep it for myself, i really think He wants me/i need a place to pour it out.  so this is it… you will very quickly realize that i don’t have it all together and i’m pretty broken but i hope, as i pour out, you are filled up.  so everyone… hi.

05/12/09 – So i just wanted to explain the new title and everything so i don’t leave you wondering, “Hmm, what’s that title mean? I guess it’s just some creative musician metaphor thing that NO ONE will ever understand cause the meaning is buried deep in the depths of the mind of a musician!!” It’s actually not that deep. It’s quite simple actually. Now i’m going to try to explain…

I have observed in my 19 years of living an underlying theme in my life and others.  This is especially true when comes to those who follow Jesus.  It’s backwards though. It goes against everything the world screams at us.  Everything that Jesus taught and was about can be summed up in this one word. I’m talking about a MOVEMENT.  A movement from one extreme to the other.  A movement from pride to humility, from brokenness to beauty, from self help to dependency, from serve me to who can i serve?, from first to last, from greatest to least, from hate to love, from death to life, and the list goes on and on.  The minute we surrender our lives to Jesus we MOVE first of all from death to life, and then comes the rest.  We MOVE from a selfish heart to a servants heart, from self sufficiency to dependency on the Holy Spirit, from pride to brokenness and a humility that says the last will be first.  We are all called and part of a MOVEMENT.  Join us won’t you?

  1. i’m pretty broken myself.. and writting IS the best way to pour it all out. i’ve found that writting is God’s way of speaking to me and through me. some of the stuff i write (mostly poems) i would never be able to say if it were’nt for God. A downfall for me is talking, its hard for me to talk to anyone about whats going on inside me.. i believe God has givin me this gift for a purpose. what i write witnesses to other people.

    and its a way for me to speak because i cant talk…
