Misery Business
I love to watch people. People doing stupid things on YouTube, to the crazies in line at walmart, to people who walking around campus, etc.
People never stop amazing me.
What I find very interesting is which of these things people put their time into. People put alot of time and effort into different activities, events, sports, hobbies, etc. What I find even more interesting is why people are surprised when they don't feel fulfilled in those things. People think that we were just put on earth to hang out and wonder around until we find something that makes us feel good.
But what amazes me even more is the number of people who do it anyway? Why, when people realize that these things aren't working, do people keep on doing it? It doesn't make any sense. [But neither does making video's of Redneck Ninjas]
The way the human brain works is amazing. How little emphasis we put on life and how content people are just to get through life unscathed. People, people, people....

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
My mind has been going a million miles an hour recently.
Except for Thursday-Sunday of this past weekend. My mind was contained on those days by large amounts of sleep and ni quil. [The first resulting from the latter.]
There are so many good things going on. So many things that I'm seeing God put into motion. Some in my life and so much in the lives of those close to me. And while everything seems to be happening so fast, it seems like it will take so long for me to see the final product of His work. I'm ready to see what He's got in store. He's raising up some awesome people for this generations and I am so excited. It makes sleep (without the aid of ni quil) near impossible.
And through it all He keeps me. Everyday He shows me more of Him. Just when I think I understand it all, He comes in and blows my mind. And I've come to the astounding realization that He is jealous for me. Can you believe that? God that created every universe, every star, every blade of grass, every zebra, every cricket, drop of rain is jealous for ME. The God that made Tiger lilies and kiwi (two things I know He made with me in mind) desires me!
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
