In light of the end of the year, I thought it’d be nice to reflect on what I’ve learned this past year.
This year has truly been a roller coaster of ups and downs. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried and I’ve cried some more but no matter how much my mood changed, no matter how much the people around me changed, and no matter how much my life changed, the one and only...

God is beautiful and everything around us is proof of that. From the sunset to the sunrise, the bees to the birds, the ocean to the desert, and the humans to the dust, His beauty is evident in every possible way. How can you witness something so magnificent and not believe in the Almighty God who created it? Life is beautiful because God is beautiful.

I hate disappointing people: my friends, peers, colleagues, teachers. Disappointment brings a cruel monster behind my shoulder to lurk.
If this is specific to what we were talking about early, you haven’t disappointed anyone, my friend. Well, not me at least :3 you are an amazing leader, Kev. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Love ya, bro.

Love is waiting.
Why is it so hard to keep my promises?
Why is it so hard to be selfless?
Why is it so hard to trust?
Why is it so hard to wait?
Why is it so easy to break Your heart?
Why is it so easy to be selfish?
Why is it so easy to do things in my own time?
Why is it so easy to forget that You have a perfect and pleasing plan for me?
Let the pace of my footsteps be in sync with Yours. When I walk...
Waiting.
Driving in the car today with one of my best friends who's smitten with a beautiful Christian lady. He believes that the Lord is calling him to love and lay his life down for her. It was so profound.
Me: I mean, you're called to be her friend right now?
Friend: Yeah.
Me: How do you know this is God asking?
Friend: I have perfect peace about it. Yes. I want nothing more than to pursue her, and to let her know my intentions and feelings and how much she means to me, but this is flesh. All flesh. It's my desires. The Lord has shown me that I must learn to be a faithful friend first, and lay my life down for her in the light of friendship.
Me: Right. You wouldn't want to cut this season short, and ruin things with her.
Friend: Exactly. It could take time... A lot of time for her and I.
Me: And you're okay with that? You're okay with years?
Friend: Absolutely. I keep thinking that this waiting season is for a purpose. And you know what? Even if I have to wait five, or ten years, it will produce a testimony. By God, it will produce a mighty and powerful testimony.
Me: ...Wow.
I just want people to see Christ in me. I don't...

My life feels inadequate right now. Maybe it’s just because I’ve been listening to The Fray so much lately or maybe it’s because I’m through with mediocre. Who knows? All I know is that there has to be more to life than this. I can feel my soul crying out for something more. I just don’t quite know what that is yet.

I have this yearning in my soul to talk about what’s on my heart right now. I love this feeling. It’s unavoidable. It’s all-consuming. It’s the Spirit stirring within me.
It’s a funny thing to see someone you were once in a deep and intimate relationship moving on. It’s an even funnier thing to see someone you were once in a deep and intimate relationship with...
