Its A Sure Thing.

So I've set a date. Two weeks. Moving into Josh's basement on the 23rd of November. Exciting, isn't it?

Life. (PRE-move)

So I'm not even sure when I should make the move. Its pretty much up to me. -Kinda just waiting to hear back about one last landscape job... whether they want it done this fall, or in the spring. It could be a decent "last job" money-maker before I move. Other than that, I have no obligations or anything holding me back here in Ohio. For the time being, I'm keeping busy with a couple lawn-care jobs, but mostly, printing and filling out job applications! -And when I'm not doing that, I'm continually updating the song database with chord charts and song files on Evident's account at Planning Center Online. So I'm staying pretty busy actually. I feel like I'm going to get carpal tunnel syndrome from all the typing I've been doing lately-not to mention all the constant texting I do! LOL!

Anyway, I'm just praying a lot about my move, and jobs, and Evident... God, I ask that everything works out according to your plan. I'm really nervous about all of this, I would even go as far as to say that I'm pretty scared! But its all under control. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

There's a song that has really been speaking to me lately, which I happen to be singing this Sunday; its called The Motions, by Matthew West...

This might hurt, its not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just OK is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't want to go through the motions
I don't want to go one more day
Without Your all-consuming passion inside of me
I don't want to spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything
Instead of going through the motions

No regrets, not this time
I'm going to let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just OK is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

Its such a good song, and its a lot of what I'm feeling right about now. I keep listening to it. Its a good reminder to myself to stop just going through the motions! I even made it a ringtone on my mobile, so now whenever someone calls, I'm reminded to let go, and let God fill me and move me. I don't care if I break, right? At least I'll be feeling something. Let YOUR love make me whole, Lord. Guide me (or push me, maybe even kick me!) to where I need to be. I'm ready to start being the man you want me to be, God. -Its about time, huh?

Anyway, I need to go to bed.

Me, blogging?

Here we go! I figure since I'm moving to Detroit, getting my very own blog will help keep my close friends and family updated with my life. We'll see how it goes!
