Nothing gets easier!!
I think it is funny how life seems to always throw you down the difficult paths. I know I often wish things would just get easier and worries would leave me for good. But it never happens. I guess that is the curse of living in a fallen world. It is just so hard sometimes. It seems like your trying so hard to love those around you and be content with who you are and move forward in what you believe is right and the more you try and do that, the more shit falls in your way. It can get pretty madening at times. But at the same time, I must say I think the challenges we face can be good for us. After all, it keeps us alive and aware at all times of life and what it means to genuinly live it. I guess you just get tired and want a break sometimes, that's all. I'm rambling, I'm sorry. I am happy where God has me right now. Although, it sucks not yet meeting the girl I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. Aside from that, I do feel blessed and I think because I feel blessed, it makes it easier to wait. On a more fun, random note, John Knight and I went down to San Francisco yesterday to see Counting Crows at the Apple Store for free. Besides, not being able to see them while they were playing, it was good and we had fun. I did get to briefly, and I mean very briefly, meet Adam Duritz which was cool. He is after all a huge musical influence of mine. He was giving an autograph to a little kid and as I walked by, I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your music inspires me". He said, "Thanks". Hopefully, it wasn't too creepy for him. I wish I could have talked to him more, but the situation wouldn't allow it. I think John shook his hand, too, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it was cool to see all of the guys just out mingling with everybody there. Adam talked alot too about the songs and he answered some questions as well. Sometimes, he talked too long, way too long. But I still think it was worth it. If anything, just for the personal factor that it had. You felt like he actually cared about his fans and their questions. So that was fun. And life rolls on. Thanks to anyone who is still reading this scattered piece of bloggery. Just know that life never gets easier, but as long as we try to really love one another, it can get better. Peace.

I definately have been experiencing some of what you have, although in different ways. The things that we are closest to, and invest the most in are the areas where we can be hurt the most, and where we are vulnerable to attack. I feel like the most important thing is to not get bogged down in it (easier said than done) - I have wasted many a day recently stewing in frustration, rather than accepting that I can't do anything about it and doing something else productive. Thanks for the words.

Yes, we still read your blog. Being someone who has seen a lot of pain in life, the joy of seeing God turn it around and make it all worth it is amazing. When things get crazy I always hang on what Jesus has shown me. Its all i have, and its alot. Thanks for your ramblings!,
agape,
