switch

Jump to Comments

From the words of my dear friend Will Smith, I think its time to “switch”.

I have a blog already set up on Xanga, but I have a lot more friends on wordpress and this site is pretty sweet and will allow me to do more. I hope that this blog will be a clear reflection of my raw thoughts and feelings as well as cool things that I see in my travels.

I have been reading the book of Job and have resonated a lot with Job himself and this song by an awesome band (Anathallo) captures a bit of how I have been feeling. This site will be a great place for me to open up despite my human tendency to lock things away. I hope you enjoy my blog and please blog often.

“I resisted coming here, to open the harbors that guard my heart (Jeremiah 23:24). Abide with me, fast falls the even tide. This darkness deepens, Lord with me abide. And what does not flow freely from You? Am I convicted of what I say? Forgive me of this pride that knows Your redemption yet shamelessly walks away. And now my life ebbs away. Night pierces my bones, and these gnawing pains never rest. And how I long for that day (when I will return to ashes and dust)(Job 30:17-19). If my steps turn from the path, or if my heart has been led by my eyes, or if my hands have been defiled, then may others reap what I have sown (Job 31:7-8). Better that I dwell in the house of the Lord who upholds all those who fall than reap this harvest of a life waged in the flesh. And what do I gain but the exchange of the truth for a lie? And a heart conditioned not to feel, callused by the nature of my pride? And now my life ebbs away.”
