Speeding up, to slow down.

It has been a while, since I've updated, yes.. I said I was going to try and keep it updated. But at least I havent abandoned it!


Things going on- This week consists of moving, new job, attempt to find a car, and other crazy life choices/happenings/decisions. Funny how fast things can speed up.


Central Asia (that would be sawweet)


Mercy, Love, Understanding and the lack thereof. 


Obedience and Disobedience.


Stillness in the midst of busyness.






How overwhelming, yet exciting is it that one could meditate on ONE verse from the Bible, and constantly gain new knowledge from it. 


Words/Verses as of late:


Understanding-


Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.




Faith-
James 5:17
Elijah was a man just like us, he prayed earnestly that it would not rain and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.


Strength- 
Psalm 20: 7-8
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.





Freedom-

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
2 Corinthians 3:17

10 down, 2 to go.

I said before I was going to try and keep this blog up, so here I am, an attempt.
Its strange, I feel as if I do not have that much to update on, but yet more at the same time. So here is what has been happening lately:


Nicaragua.
Colorado
"the cowardly will not see heaven"
Arabic
2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2 (v 16)
forgiveness
new job
haircut
prepare
photography

staying/going, change, cycles, repeating, stopping, boys, feelings, fears and freedom. 

I remember before I moved from Murfreesboro I had this feeling whenever I would drive around, that my life was going to change drastically, that I wouldn't be there much longer. That feeling has made its way back while I'm here, as well. Its not discontentment, just, as if change is in the air. It reminds me of the fourh of july, in a way. Waiting around all that day for the "big event". Lazy times, sitting in plastic chairs, roasting marshmallows, and catching up with family. Slowww times, time passes by slow and easy. Then all of a sudden, HUGE explosions go off that you've been waiting for all day. And both are equally as exciting, its just that feeling of whenever it just starts to get dark, you know its coming. Just a very sudden feeling, overall right now.
I'm sure that didnt make much sense, but sometimes its hard to convey such feelings that are hard to even describe to your self, in a way. 

It reminds me of this verse that God shows me a lot. Isaiah 66:9
almost as if you can see the contractions happening in your life for events that are about to happen. 
Alright, I might getting a little to metaphor happy, but I think I'm expressing myself well enough.
