Xanga and Livejournal were fun for the longest time. I’m going to give WordPress a shot and see if I like it, and we’ll go on from there.
Are we left here on our own?
Can you feel when your last breath is gone?
Night is weighing heavy now
Be quiet and wait for a voice that will say
Come awake, from sleep arise
You were dead, become alive
Wake up, wake up, open your eyes
Climb from your grave into the light
Bring us back to life
You are not the only one who feels like the only one
Night soon will be lifted, friend
Just be quiet and wait for a voice that will say
Rise, rise, to life, to life
Shine
Light will shine
Love will rise
Light will shine, shine, shine, shine
He’s shining on us now
Paul from my bible study recommended the album A Collision by David Crowder. Listening to it and looking at pictures in sequential order of where I was from the beginning of college and now, close to the end of my years in college is heartbreaking. Where did the time go? It passed too quickly. It seems like the closer we get to the end of a stage in life, I get emotional or become very reflective.
I am indeed looking forward to the transitional phase of leaving college and entering the so-called “real world.” However, I really hope the memories and emotions I feel now looking back at these pictures never fade. Never to forget who I was and how far I’ve come.
In this phase of uncertainty and desolation, I find God. I find God telling me to awake, rise, and look to Him. There is no one else I can turn to but Him. With that in mind, the future looks exciting as much as it looks frightening. And that’s a beautiful place to be.
My friends who are reading… it’s been quite the ride. There’s still two weeks left and I will still have summer quarter and be living in the University district, but things won’t be the same. Let’s make the best of the time we have left.
