Music with Motive

The other day Jake and I decided to go out to dinner and while we were driving down the traffic jammed Hwy 394 I realized he drove right past the restaurant. He told me we were going to get a new CD. 
Not that we have any money i thought but it better be a good one. I was happy we stopped. 
We ended up getting a cd by a band called Flobots, strange name but real good. For once listening to rap makes me feel good. They believe in something not just sex, drugs and well you know what *rap is about. I suggest everyone takes a moment to check them out. I have been enjoying the CD a whole bunch. 


* I know that not all rap is the same.

Moving Sale!


Well its almost official, Jake and I will be moving to Pine Ride South Dakota. 
There are so many emotions going through me at this point its even hard to describe one. Mostly i am looking forward to the pre-move purging process. There is nothing better than going through all your stuff and realizing i have been living a life of over abundance. Opening old bins, with no idea of what you will find is like your birthday or Christmas just getting your own stuff back. I love seeing things i forgot about and then realizing I do not need this to live, to become who i want to become or even who i think i am. Material purging is one of my many forms of spiritual rejuvenation. Sometime i freely step up to the plate, other times its life's twists and turns that makes me purge. How ever it comes about, it never leaves me disappointed.

Weddings...

July 11th, 2008

The start of something wonderful! I had the pleasure of being in two of my great friends wedding. It was a beautiful evening. Two people becoming one is always a wonderful sight. Everything went wonderfully and now they are relaxing in the sunshine of Jamaica. I sure wish i was there.

Strange how such great friends can all get married on thee same date without even knowing. We must be REALLY good friends.

Time to take a risk.

I am ready to hit the open road! To see where life takes me. I am ready to be challenged, motivated and moved to tears. Life is full or risks. I am willing to jump right in and take that risk. 
I know that my life will 
NEVER 
be the same!
I desire to be different. To live a radical life. 
To know that materials do not make me who I am.
 Money is not where I will find joy.
I am no better than the next.
God does NOT love me more than the 
homeless the prostitutes the lier.
For God Loved the WHOLE world...
My Joy is found in Him.
I will serve Him, follow Him and Love those He loves.
