Oh come, thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And deaths dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Rejoice,
Rejoice,
Rejoice.

Sometimes

Life is so strange...

My friend and I had a conversation last night until about 5:00 am, just trying to figure life out.
Talking and thinking about all these things that are so unclear that it almost seems pointless to talk about them at all.
Thinking about everything that makes up everything else.
About all the things that people learn, and the unexpected things that people need to go through in order to learn them.
It blows my mind. Trying to figure out what is positive and what is negative, and trying to figure out what I should be angry, or sad about... And what I should think of as just a bump in the road that will bring something good in the end.
How much of what is in our life has been placed there by God for a purpose, and how much has just happened because of sin, and all the corruption that envelops so many things around us.

WHAT IS REAL? What has meaning. And WHY WHY WHY do things happen the way they do?
Why do things seem to come in horrible little clusters,
clumps of negativity that overwhelm you emotionally and physically...
That frustrate every bone in your very being, so that you feel like you can't possibly accomplish anything without SCREAMING and wondering hhhhoooowwwww in the world do I escape from this body of mine?
And how do you know things you can't feel? WHY are there some things that you know whole heartedly, and yet you have yet to experience them in a real and tangible way? And why do some people get to feel things, when no matter how hard some other people try, they just can't. feel. anything... It's exhausting.
GUH... Things suck sometimes.
But then there are little things that God blesses you with. Little ways to let go of everything, just for a minute or two.
And sometimes that's enough. A few minutes of pure wonder and beauty that momentarily erase everything else...
Yeah...
Yeah.

That's another thing we talked about.
Changing your mindset to a thankful one.
Thanking God for all the little blessings he gives rather then constantly questioning the things you wish weren't going on. It's hard though.
It's really really hard.
BUT, what really good thing comes from something easy?

I'm going to see Wildlife play a free show in Toronto.
