That's one of my favorite Switchfoot songs. Great lyrics that for the most part have no denotative value to me...but it sounds encouraging! Turns out the whole song only uses two chords. D and G. So now I like it even more!
I don't understand why people don't use punctuation when they're writing out song lyrics...
I went to church all by myself today. Those bums Jake and Matt. Going home to see they're families. Pffft. Why don't they just have they're families come visit them, like mine? Obviously they're not as loved as me.
At least I had Aaron and Laura to make me feel slightly less lonely at church. It's Aaron's birthday. We went to this place called Rocket Donuts. Aaron indulged in some gluten free goodness. I abstained. It was a financial victory, if not a nutritional one; I came home and Lodrick had filled the house with the aroma of chocolate cake and heart shaped cookies. I was not so victorious there.
If I'm working at Quiznos, or wind up practicing law, what does it matter if I'm not...living for Jesus. Gah. w/e happens. That's where the real lasting Joy is. Because of that, these don't have to be unproductive, or merely transitional years. God's work is there to be done always. Work to be done, work to be done, work to be done. Everywhere, all the time.
It's not just a comfort though. It is. Oh yes it is...but if that's all it is. Well then I'm on the wrong side of this line walking, where I'm just. Hiding out and getting fat on the couch. "For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him..." (Philippians 1:29) [I got that from my head Sara -_^) So don't worry Mom. I know I still don't have a job. I know I didn't get the 4.0 I should've last year. Those are definitely goals that I think God'd have me have. I'm just trying to...keep my perspective right. Not just perspective...Set my goals right. Make them goals based around advancing His kingdom. All of my days. 21 to 121 (Although my goal is really just to reach 119). Anyone's. God's glory. First and only aim. Whatever that is for me. That is better than. Having everything the world could bring. Whatever all those folks say. Quiznos or corporate office. If I'm making sandwiches for Jesus that's better than conquering the world for myself.
That being said...I do have quit a bit of reading still to do today for East Asia. A lot of shape getting into still to do.
Oh yeah. So. My parents (and grandparents!) visited me, (with Sara?). We went to Costco. Which was just. Super fun. I toured the campus with Sara. She apparently was not too impressed with the campus. The inside of most of the buildings reminds her of elementary school apparently. Also the smell. Something about the smell. Ahh well! I'm so excited to have one of my sisters come and go to school with me for whatever short period of time.
Goodness. This "Glory to God" song is just. so good. I can't believe I didn't like it when I first heard it at that Rock & Worship Road show (which is going to be awesome this year, on Saturday the 5th. The day before my birthday. Flipping sweet. Everyone should go.)
I've decided I really like my guitar after all. (it took some reading of positive reviews online to settle my fickle, nonsensical heart.) So books will do for this next birthday ; )
Anyway's. I've found myself. Extremely encouraged this past few days. Got out of midterms with solid (certainly improvable) grades. and 1 on 1 (on 1) with Joey and Josh was pretty good. CCF all by myself was even alright (oh just joshing you fools -_^ [maybe]), and then Church was great. and this awesome song. Pfft. and of course my awesome Grandparents (and parents) (and no kara?).
Anyways. I have got another 4 weeks to barrel through. Then it's fun having time.
I want to. Be the happy person I know I am inside. All over everyone's collective face. I don't know how on earth I have a "I-want-to-kill-myself face" as my default expression (according to Jake at least.) It is just simply not true!
Oh Happy day! Happy day! You washed my sin away!
Currently Listening: Switchfoot: "C'mon C'mon," Fee: Hope Rising,
