the end.

It's time to move on.

Thanks for reading.

just not worth saying anymore

rev 21:3-5a

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.' And he who was seated on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'"

This... This is what we have to look forward to. I'm excited.

lost in wonder

i hold nothing.
He holds everything.

i break promises.
He never has, nor ever will-- since the day he gave his promises to Abram.

i am flawed.
He is everything i would ever imagine to hope for; He is perfect.

i am a simple nobody.
He is everything.

and i am lost in wonder at why a God as perfect as He is would ever come to lay down his life for one like me.

a thank you note

Dear friends,

Thank you. Thanks for allowing me to share my life and thoughts with you (not just on this blog). Thanks for listening to what I have to say, though it's not much.

Thank you for keeping me alive. Thank you for letting me see hope.
Thank you:
-for pointing me back to Christ constantly.
-for the support you've given me through thick and thin.
-for laughing with and at me.
-for letting me see the good in people after all.
-for smiling.
-for reaching out to me.
-for your troubles.

I could go on and on, but this will have to do.

Thank you for being my friends. I greatly appreciate it.

This, however, is just another place I don't belong.

wake up

this is our chance.
let's take it.

take it or watch others take it from you. opportunities often come only once.
we are, like it or not, the future of our country. this is our moment, this is ours.
the future lies in our hands.
don't miss it.

don't be caught unaware, wondering what happened. reality happens. reality is real. wake up, shake up, bring yourself to realize that time isn't forever. we're made for a purpose. look around with an eternal perspective, for 70 years is nothing compared to eternity.

join me. wake up our generation. let's do things. things that matter-- not only for our futures, but especially to God.
live, love, laugh, and above all, give Him the glory of everything we do.
