/THE MELODY AND THE NOISE/

////////////////////////////////////////

There is hope
There is change
There is a joy in Your name
Won't You carry me
There is grace
There is love
And there is peace through Your blood
Won't You carry me
Won't You carry me

I find myself in one of the most interesting situations of my life...

Some days I'm really unsure of what's to come...

But today...

I'm totally at peace...

Totally stoked for whatever is coming my way...

And don't get me wrong... I still don't know what I'm doing... Like, literally at all...

But goodness, when was the last time you could say that?!

When was the last time you didn't know what tomorrow would bring?!

As of right now I don't have to set an alarm tomorrow morning...

But it's possible that before this day is over something may come up that changes that completely...

I may even have to wake up before dawn, heaven forbid...

But I revel in that fact right now...

So awesome...

And He is so faithful...

There really is hope and peace and love and change through Him...

How could I ever doubt how blessed I really am?!





So this is my latest endeavor...

Today I started a new song...

Tomorrow I'll do something else...

Or maybe not...

And it may keep raining...

Or maybe not...

Either way...

There is certainly hope...

So goodbye didn't exactly happen as expected...

To be honest, the moving out, nor the boxing things up, nor the process in general happened as expected...

But regardless, I find myself at the same desk with the same computer 100 miles from my previous blogging locale...

And at this all important crossroads in my life, you would think I would have huge, insightful words full of depth and truth...

Not so much.


You see, I thought I would spend the last week in my college hometown "livin' the dream", but by the time I realized what was happening, everyone was already gone...

Graduation takes so much energy and time that you don't even realize a lot of people you may never see again have already headed out...

And it makes me kinda sad...

Not like I'm gonna cry or anything... Just a little ache that life would change so quickly without so much as a chance to evaluate the correct way to do the goodbye thing...

If there is a correct way...



Do I sound devastated?

I'm not... Really, I'm not... Just early nostalgia, maybe...

I don't doubt that God has placed me on a path moving towards a goal both of which hard to see at this point...

But I still have my faith that there is something out there worth moving towards...

Longleaf Church is already a beautiful, wonderful thing...

My family has always been a beautiful, wonderful thing...

And me back in Middle Georgia may very easily prove to be a beautiful, wonderful thing...

It even excites me a little... The opportunity to get to relearn my old stomping grounds with 5 years of college behind me...

Things already look different...

They're not rose-colored, but they're certainly not bleak either...

They just look different...

And I'd say that five years ago, I probably looked a little different as well...

I'd like to think we're both a little prettier now...

And maybe I am seeing things through those rose-colored lenses after all...

Life changes...

My life changed...

Stick with me...

It's about to be an exciting ride...
