Interception ?

I am naming this post " interception?" because I feel as though my heart has been intercepted by the words from a story about a God searching man. I just finished this book called " Blue Like Jazz" and I don't think I've ever been as blown away by a book as I am right now. It all makes sense to me, in parts of that book its as if this guy was reading about me, about what I have inside of me. Its crazy...I'm not sure what else to say but that You (whoever you are) must find this book and read it, it will help you. And Mad Props to Donut for lending it to me.




Well now that I've said that I don't really think I have much to say. Umm...YC was this past weekend and I will say it was really good GRITZ was flippin unreal and for that I would like to thank God for making black people...yes I am extremely thankful for that. I did a lot of thinking while at YC, I was doing this because my job was to babysit a camera man...a good man...but one with a boring job. I thought about the things on my heart, not whatever is floating around in my head, but the things that really matter, like any issues I have with people, the burden that work puts down on me, my spraned foot, and girls. I think I am getting to into myself, to into walking around by myself, I enjoy it but I feel its time to really challenge myself, to step out of my box a bit more and smile at someone when they were not expecting one from me. I am excited about trying this out, daring myself to be better then what I am right now, its fun, and I think Jesus fully supports me on this, infact he's the dude backing me up on this. I know I'm noticed, although I'm quiet and shy and mostly always have been I've always wanted to be noticed, we all have that want to be a rockstar, or at least to maybe once in a while attain that type of attention...I don't think there is anything wrong with it...I believe there is something in all humans that want to entertain the world with something unique and highly original, something only God has put in them, something that you will never see twice...we want to jump off our asses and let it out in one massive PiRo TeChNik LiGHt ShOw, but a lot of us won't be able to do that, because we firmly believe we can't, we were told that "it won't put dinner on the table" Now I know most parents have said that one time or another but I'm thinkin that we should stop listening to that, how are we truly supposed to know that we are even worthy of something AMAZING when we won't dare ourselves to do something cool ? Drastic action needs to take place, a new mindset needs to be grasped. I am convinced that as long as you love Jesus purely and simply with passion and that you believe that Jesus loves you the same way but a KaGillion times more then you will do UNBELIEVEABLE things. Now it may not be a "Crazy Light Show" infront of thousands of people...but it might be to the one person to whom God lead you to....

Hey. I found your blog from Kristy-Anne's (from Brock's)... I read it and I think you need to write a book!!! I think it would come out a lot like BLUE LIKE JAZZ, interesting, compelling, honest... Oh and my brown friend read this blog as well, and she thinks your profile is hilarious! Although, we doubt the part about you being brown. Keep up the great blogging, it will give me something to read at work!! :-)

I totally agree with what you said about a part of everyone wanting to be seen as amazing and unique. We ARE but we want someone else to agree and validate us (tho God is the one for that - why can't i just believe him?). and about putting on a crazy light show but afraid it won't put bread on the table. all that is me too. i like your honesty. cuz now i know someone else is similar to me. keep on.
