Wish I could say it’s easy. But it’s not.
Thanks for the memories

I just typed up and deleted a post about typing up posts, then deleting them. Cool story, right? I do it all the time. I’ve been negligent of my tumblr lately, and that’s probably why.

It’s interesting to be dating someone who, within eight months, you will most likely be breaking up with and/or rarely ever seeing again. Guess that’s where faith comes into it all. But we can enjoy it now, right?
Did my first devotional with Chandler last night. Kind of turned into a quiet time for both of us. It got me really excited about how God is going to use our relationship for His glory and how we’re going to help each other grow spiritually. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what He has planned.
To be honest, I’m deathly scared of this all. Wondering if you are too…

Today I drummed in my free time for the first time in probably two or three months. And I hated it. I wanted to have a blast, but I just couldn’t. And I don’t know what to do about it.
96 on my anatomy final? How in the world did that happen? haha
It's nights like tonight that I will really miss.

Goal for this week: achieve lucid dreaming. Goal for next week: link dreams with Sarah and Robert. Goal for the weeks after: who knows (;
MY GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE LUCID DREAMING TOOOOOO
Set your alarm for like an hour before you wake up usually and then turn it off. And just think about stuff until you go back to sleep. Works for me sometimes.
I’ve been waiting since middle school for an opportunity like this. And now that it’s here, I don’t know what to do. I’m honestly a little scared. But we’ll see.

My parents
brought me into their room, asked me to sit down, and seemed really serious.
They said, “Because you have a good reputation, you’re growing into a godly man, you’re making good grades and being responsible, we’re proud of you.”
I’ll finish this story tomorrow.

My cousin is friends with a member of the band Alter Bridge, which just came out with its third album, so check ‘em out!
Whatt? Who’s friends with them??
So I went to the ford dealership today and did like a 45 minute long test drive on a grabber blue 2011 mustang. It was the funnest ride I’ve ever taken. I loved it. My dad loved it. Give it a few weeks…
Going to the Ford dealership tonight……
The theme of my life right now
It seems like there’s so many things going on right now that I’m just gonna have to be patient. Gods obviously trying to teach me to wait.
I see a lot of my friends starting to date. God says wait.
I really want a car. It’s becoming more of a need. But God says wait til December. Letter jacket? Wait til december. PSAT scores? December.
I’m ready to do something...

I would love to go a few hours without feeling or looking like a complete tool.
I get by
God brings us to points of mental, physical, and spiritual exhaustion, so that we, and everyone else, can no longer believe in what WE, ourselves, can produce, but what He can do through us.
Every Day:
Come home. Look at my planner. Ask myself: “What’s the least amount of homework I can do tonight?” Do as little as possible as late as possible.
Oh gosh. I think it’s happening again.
I think people have some kind of impression of me that I’ve got everything put together in my life.That’s definitely not true.
There are broken parts that I keep hidden from everyone. Even my closest friends. And I’m working on fixing them.
God answers prayers
Entered a contest to play onstage with my favorite band in London. It’s worth a shot… haha.
Posted a video of a drum cover of a song on facebook. A few minutes later, the drummer from that band posted my video on his facebook. Pretty cool.

Thoughts as of late
God totally answered my prayers from this week with the church service this morning.
New Hope is my church. Not Northpoint. Not Austin Stone. New Hope. We’re going through a time of transition now. And yeah, maybe we’re dropping numbers a little bit. But we’ve narrowed down our search for a pastor to four people. Out of 250 resumes. That’s crazy. I can’t wait to meet...
a date to homecoming? whaaa…?
Could it be....
a car? We’ll see…

“Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself...”
– Stephen Hawkings, on why creationism is obsolete now. Maybe I’m just misinterpreting this, but is this statement completely retarded? 1, he’s basically saying that because gravity exists, God doesn’t. 2, he’s breaking the scientific law that says SOMETHING can’t come...

So I talked to Philip after Stone today. He said I could definitely do an apprenticeship for him soon. If not within a month or so, later this year. So that was the awesome opportunity I was talking about a while ago. He’ll kind of me by mentor and teach me how to make drums and stuff. hah. And then I’m doing camp Electric and interning with Mark next summer… Life’s gonna...
I haven’t felt this distant from God in probably about a year and a half. I’m not satisfied, I’m not praying, not reading nearly as much as I should be. I need to find some way to get back to Him. Because right now, I’m finding it difficult to pretend everything’s okay. And I feel like my relationships with my friends are suffering because of this. I just need Sunday...
You know what I think is awesome?
God has a girl picked out for me that I’m gonna spend my whole life with. She’ll love me despite my imperfection. She’ll have an incredibly close relationship with Jesus. She’s more beautiful than I could imagine. She’ll be committed to helping me follow Gods calling on my life, and I, hers.
It’s just comforting to know that the Creator of the universe has...

Late night thoughts
I feel like earlier this summer, for the first time in my life, I really had a firm grip on my life. I finally realized what it meant to be satisfied in God alone. I was working out 5 times a week. I was super close to all my friends. Life was just good. But I feel like I’ve lost the “handle” I used to have on my life. And to be honest, I don’t know how to get it back. I...
Amazing opportunity in my drumming career… Let’s see if it happens… I’ll post more later.
That’s just who I am.
And if our God is for us,
Then who could ever...
Ahhh. Whatever. I kind of made an acoustic...
Free hillsong concert at shoreline tomorrow. Awesome.

Setting the scene
There’s a tv on, a portable DVD player on, 2 babies throwing a tantrum, and I’m sitting in a chair. And I’m supposed to go to sleep.
Night one of vacation. It’s great.
This post was inevitable...
I feel like I’m losing all my friends. I always try to make plans with people but they either can’t or don’t want to hang out. Only a few people ever text me lately. It sounds whiney, but it’s seriously been getting me down every day for a month or so. Is it so bad that I want to see my “best friends” every once in a while? I’ve tried to hold all this...
If I knew God’s plan for my life, I wouldn’t need to have faith. The unknown helps keep me hanging on to Him.
