Explanation.

So.

Here's the wind, watch it blow. What does that mean, dude?

Well. It's a part of some lyrics that I wrote:

Gently swinging, here we go.
Here's the wind, watch it blow.
Here's my life, watch it fall.
Here's the end, once and for all.

It's more or less that life goes by, and the drastic, life changing, extremely important things, well.... they sort of just happen. You can't really control them. You don't really have a say in those things, for example a death, or a disease, or someone lying to you, or people being fake about certain things. All you can do is just watch this thing go by you, and sometimes it sweeps you up and takes you with it. And it's just about dealing with shit. No one likes to do it, and everyone likes to avoid it. 

That's the basis of this. It's just a matter of being able to sit down and be like. Okay. 

Here.
It.
Is. 

Here's my problem, and here's the source of my depression/anger/etc. I need to deal with this, because whining and complaining and suffering isn't helping it go away. People don't like the idea of facing their problems, because, yes, it could get messy. But dealing with something worse for a short period of time is better than dealing with one bad thing forever. 

read that again it's a little tricky.

The point is that people do too much settling. They settle with how things are, when things could always be better than they are. Always. 

And so just accepting the fact that things are going downhill, you watch your life fall.
And you fall into this sadness or anger. 
And before you know it. You are going to die. 

I cannot fathom the idea of dying depressed. Dying angry at someone. Dying sad. 
These emotions don't have to control you. But they do. It's hard to take control of yourself.
And some things can't be controlled. So Do Not Try To. Just wait. He's got it controlled.
But serenity and peace come from a situation being controlled. 


As for the picture, you might ask, why a bird?

I have a thing about wings. They're incredible. Most of the time, 
wings = flight
Think about flying. wow. 
okay, so the biggest thing about flight for me is Isaiah 40:31.

Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. 
They will soar on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary, 
they will walk and not be faint.

This is just incredible to me. Just having that strength is unbelievable, and no one seems to accept this power. It deals with every situation. It simply means this. If you don't have it under control....He does. He's got it.




He's Got It.

Hey dude! I missed you last night at small group! I was hoping you would be there to give me some insight into a persuasive piece I need to write for a class. I need to pick a topic....anything that I want to see changed. Since you were so good at Halloween costume ideas, I figured you were the best candidate to help me with my academics as well.

PS. Welcome to the blogging world!
