Quote of the moment:

Two reminders for myself for when I'm convinced life sucks and there's no point in trying anymore.

::::......
"I think the thing that really had the most effect on me was early on in my career, when I kind of not really sure what I was in for - I knew I was doing 'the singing thing' and the concerts, and all that stuff. When I really realized that it was way bigger than me, I was doing this show and there were a lot of young girls there - screaming, and all that kind of stuff - and there was this one girl who you could totally tell that she didn't want to be there. She had her head down the whole time - rolling her eyes, and stuff like that. I saw her and I just, kind of, kept looking at her. While I was singing I just started praying, "Help me to say something to really get her attention." So, I just started talking about just a little more personal things for me - about insecurities and trying to find yourself, and stuff like that. And she picked up her head, and she started nodding her head. Then I saw her cry a tear. I was just like, "That's awesome." That's what helps me to put everything into perspective and reminds me of what I'm in this for. "

......

"I've only been in this for five years, but it's so easy to get jaded - in Nashville. Not just musically, but also personally with people. You're like, "Oh, everybody's in it for the same reason. Everybody is stuck in the same mindset." No! Let's lift each other up. Let's talk about real things and be honest and talk about things that aren't so great in your life. Let's help each other out. Let's grow. For a long time, I just kind of cut myself off because I was like, "Oh, nobody really wants to know the real me" and stuff like that. Just recently, God's been like, "You have a lot of work to do on yourself - so let's not be talking about who everybody else is. Just be open, be honest...talk to me." Talk to God, and talk to each other. I think everybody will benefit from being a little more real with each other. "

Word Count: 105

This poem has a prequel but I haven't finished it yet. I need to read through a few more Switchfoot songs first. But this one I needed to complete for my second assignment, thus, to be confusing and back-to-front, this is the end before the beginning.

2) In fewer than 150 words of prose or poetry, describe your heart’s desire for your inner spiritual life.

Consume Me

I’d like to be blinded by Your glory
Lost in the sound of Your voice
I’d like to be filled with Your wonder
Dancing in the land of Your choice

I’d like to be dusty and dirty
Broken and true
I’d like to watch the sunrise
See only You

Lord, you’re all powerful, you’re everything

Take everything I could be
This is my surrender
Won’t you consume me

And I see the sunshine
And I hear the wind
And I feel the heartbeat
Here where you have been

Won’t you take me under, fill me through
This is my surrender
To be consumed by you
