"How many of you believe in God?
How many of you have met God?"

silence.


a quote from a lecture I sat through this afternoon.

a friend who sticks like peanut butter... classy song

Psalm 46
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song.

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see the works of the LORD, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire.
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."


The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.


This was brought to my attention by a friend (and cousin) of mine. It's been sticking with me for a while now.

today is never just any day.

• sometimes things aren't what I expect them to be
• sometimes I am disappointed
• sometimes I don't appreciate you as much as you deserve
• sometimes things go exactly as I want them to, but I choose to be angry about them anyways
• sometimes what God tells me is hard to hear
• sometimes I have to change
• sometimes things are meant to be ignored
• sometimes things happen to change me, or to make me see that I need to change
• sometimes I require adjustments to my thinking
• sometimes things are different and I don't notice
• sometimes people around me change
• sometimes my relationships morph
• sometimes I miss how people used to be
• sometimes my idea of beauty is different than yours
• sometimes God wants things to be different than I do
• sometimes my attitude needs adjustment
• sometimes I miss people and I am full of elation when I see them
• sometimes I think change has to happen more than it does
• sometimes I like to listen to everything instead of just what one person is saying to me, their voice sounds more beautiful when accompanied with other peoples' soft, muffled words that I can't quite comprehend, with crickets, with people walking on gravel, with fires burning, with chairs squeaking, with guitar, with background noises
• sometimes I let background noises speak too loudly and I can't hear what that one person is saying anymore
• sometimes changes are hard to do
• sometimes I think I hear someone calling me, but it's not true, and I turn around and I see something beautiful
• sometimes things don't go according to plan
• sometimes I think a lot
• sometimes I miss people, but when I see them I would have much rather not seen them and kept missing them
• sometimes I hope that people need me
• sometimes I think too much about me
• sometimes I need to just stop talking now

school

Sometimes, I think that I see certain people too much, and other people not enough.
But, I wish I could bring the people I don't see enough up to the stage where I see them as much as the people I think I see too much. Without losing any time spent with the people whom I think I see too much.

Sometimes, I think that things make more sense in my head and they are hard to write down.
