rainy days and soul searching escapades

It always seems that rainy days (which are my favorite types of days second only to very cold, crisp, perfectly clear days), stir up kinds of thoughts that only damp weather can.

I want to listen to Sigur Ros or Hammock with a cup of coffee in my hand and just think. To take a few moments while the sky falls to the earth and be alone in my head.

The dominating thought today has been a realization that I am far more blessed than I can even fathom. The last couple of nights have been incredible. Between playing music with close friends, to building relationships with new ones, and finally seeing an athletic event that our school just might have some potential to be pretty good in, love has been poured into me and I have dished it right back out.

I see the joy of Christ in these things, simple as they may be. As some of us talk about frequently, it is never disheartening to see people doing the things that they love to do. Someone taking part in that thing that they are passionate about, that thing that stirs their affections, encourages me to do the same.

I want whatever I do to give glory to the Creator. Eating, drinking, singing, playing, writing, setting, blocking, cooking, fooseballing, all for the glory of Christ.

It's about time you post something again :) I totally feel ya man. I need to take more time to just relax and soak things in. God is so awesome and I don't think about that enough.
