Going home is easy... It's the goodbyes that are hard.

So I went home this weekend, and it was pretty awesome. Thank God for family and for fun. I love being around my siblings because they always show me what love really looks like. To be honest, we are the three most distinct personalities on the planet. Seriously, we have hardly anything in common except for the fact that we share chromosomes. Still, whenever we spend time together, we have a blast. We feed off the differences and make the best of the situations. It's so much fun. Love them.

Now, I am back in College Station, dreading the week that is coming. I have no motivation, but I hopefully will have some kind of motivation when my computer is not sitting right in front of me. We'll see. More info on that later.

Hello World

So I am super bored, and I have no motivation to focus on school or anything worthwhile at all. It could be that I am going home today, but that's a secret. So no one tell Steven. Oh wait! No one reads my blog, so no one will. :D

loving life (well the parts of it not related to school)

Well it's been a while

I know I haven't posted in a while. I've kind of been in a poetry funk. However, a blog you should check out is campoverdefamily.blogspot.com

That blog will provide updates on my father's condition. He had an aneurysm this past Friday and is in the hospital. Keep him in your prayers.

Thanks and Gig'em

Just a head's up

who knows.

Day by Day

As the week approaches

And I stare it in the face

I know that God has a plan

For this time, for this place

But as I stare it down

I feel the pressure fall

On my shoulders, oh so heavy

I can't handle it all

So I turn to my Father

And seek out his will

He takes off the load

With just a little left still

Take this day by day

He says to my heart

For if you take it all at once

It's going to fall apart

But trust that I have the future

And know that the present is yours

Don't worry about tomorrow

It is I who will open doors.

Habakkuk's Impact

My soul is weary

my heart broken

but i know that He is in control

I have no words

My feelings jumbled

No one around me to console

For words pierce deep

And emotions flare

But God is there in midst of it all

Dreams are crushed

Ideas destroyed

But in the end everything will fall

But God will not

His has won

And his victory ensures us life

So in this time

when my world seems dark

He is my escape from all the strife.

Extinguished

I looked in the mirror today

And was surprised by what I saw

But about this I should say

This is no ordinary mirror at all

For it reflected both outside and in

And inspected the depths of my soul

To expose to me my pride my sin

And how i've twisted my only role

For on the outside I show

Passion and desire

But on the inside I know

My pride burns higher

Every compliment fans the flame

That I started within my heart

As it burns, I am filled with shame

And from my friends I slowly depart

But He rushed in from on high

And throws His Spirit on my fire

And I fall on my knees, arms to the sky

For He has taken me from the mire

He has extinguished my pride

Given me humility instead

And I can do nothing to hide

The gift of the One who Bled.
