Lost




Lost

sometimes we all just need a little direction.
heck I know I always do
and it seems that nature is always willing to point us in the direction of its imaginative creator, its divine artist.

and sometimes I just miss it, I drive by or walk by it in so much of a rush that I forget that I was born to live, not to do whatever it is is consuming my time and stressing me out.

so before we get too lost,
lets remember the stars
lets remember the smile of a baby
or the fire in the eyes of a loved one

May we see that we are only as lost
as we are unwilling to realize that we are not our own creators
but beautifully crafted pieces of art and that the entire world points us in the one direction, into our hearts where love resides, the greatest mark of God.

i just dont know.

i was pretty bummed out today,
the competitions i participated in didnt do very well at competition so I was kind of frustrated.

But honestly, whats been on my mind is that, a lady died in a car accident. She had a son, who went to school with Caroline’s 10 year old brother, and now shes dead. Shes gone and the family is without a mother to take care of her children smaller than that and the entire family.

And I dont really know what to say.
But that God tries, he cares, he loves and somehow just like the corny Disney movies, justice will be defined.

Somehow, someway, we will cross through these dark dank areas and see that the sunshine was always with us.

I mean I just cant imagine what this childs life will be like, but I know, the spark in his eyes must never go out. This tragedy cannot take away this little boys and his family’s joy and hope, for nothing else I know his mother would not want it.

And I know I am making a bold statement.

This is the magnitude of life meets the earthquake of death. But, heres the thing, that lady’s love, her kindness will never ever let go of that little boy and I hope that we will all remember that.

We can never escape from all of our demons, our fears, our antagonizers. Truly I feel we must make our peace with the world and look to the sky, towards the heavens for the response of the great artist. For this painting, this life is far from over and although a life has disappeared all is not lost.

thats whats in my head at the present moment.

so let us all right now pray for this little boy and his family. Whether or not you believe in it, please just try.

Christmas list.

I want to end this one saying thanks to katie and most likely lizzy for the bible verse in the door handle. very sweet.

Jesus was truly revolutionary because he actually followed the word of God. Even though he was sort of cheating since he was God.

everything is not lost

the girl in this photo gabby, if nothing else has this beautifully infectious smile, charming accent and awesome outlook on life.
Ever since Ive met her shes said that everything is beautiful, I mean she practically uses the word to describe everything, and honestly, the hope of the beauty in everything really helps right now as I try to keep my head above the water.

So friends,
everything is not lost
it is beautiful, purposeful, methodically made and most of all there for a reason beyond the typical.

the stars and their redemption

After I got home from school yesterday, I came home and took a nap, which consequently caused me to rush to get ready for the cappies show and forget my keys. So when it was over, Caroline and I left Taravella  and we got to my house only to realize that I couldn’t get in. So being a great girlfriend, she reclined her seat and we sat and talked for 40 minutes.

If you’ve never reclined your seat and sat inside of a semi-warm car that is turned off amidst Florida’s quasi-winter weather, I certainly recommend it. So we sat and talked and held hands, and honestly sitting there it occurred to me. This is why Jesus died.

This was it. Under the stars, deep in her eyes illuminated by a streetlight, I could see a work of God, the almighty artist, the divine dad left his mark on her. His love chiseled her into existence, and now my love is admiring it.

And you are no different.

Never forget the miracle you have inside of you. You are not a letdown.

The love God used to craft us and the love he has that is deep enough to take us as we are at any moment was something I saw tonight, and Ill never be the same.

“The greatest love that anyone could ever know, overcame the cross and grave to find my soul”
