Inspiration

I seriously just sat down and wrote this, how about a chorus peeps...

Randomness...within the world...and madness...in the streets...how about some peace...how about it...nobody knows how i feel...yet the whole world feels the same...happiness is lost...joy cannot be found...help me help me...i'm beginning to drown...life is a joke...why not end it...iv'e been to the brink and back...and happened to live to tell about it...whoa...whoa...(chorus)

Things been goin on...

There are a lot of things that have happened around here lately and i thought id fill you in...
First off, SUMMA!!!!! yes!!! its finally here and it will go by so fast that i won't be able to do anything... Next i guess im srry to say that i lost my sunglasses somewhere en route to a party...im also going to be doing a nice workout plan this summer in preparation for soccer this fall...my band changed its name, Faultry, pro. (fall-tree), its a twist from the word faultering, which in a sense is exactly what man kind is doing right this second, in our sin, the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, matter is constantly going from a state of order to disorder, so we thought it was appropriate...there has been a lot of rain lately in these parts, idk how much but it was quite a bit of downpouringness...drums are starting to get complicated, which was expected, but nothing a little practice can overcome...now to important stuff...God has been showing me plenty of things in the past months, like my pride issue, yes rachael gier im admitting it, i have a pride issue, but who doesn't, theres that part of me that wants to lash out when there is injustice or a chance for me to be noticed by others, its a struggle and im looking to Jesus for the resolution...I read this morning that we who are not constantly reminding ourselves of the Gospel to ourselves everyday all the time, have this longing in our hearts that needs to be filled; the world promises us something to fill that longing with, whether its the approval of others, a relationship, money, status, being apathetic, whatever it is, the world wants you to fill your heart with the thing that will only leave you wanting more, but if we "preach" the gospel to ourselves, THAT will fill our hearts and there will be no room for the things of this world to come between you and your maker, the one who loves and cares for you, rains down blessing after blessing on your life, and the least thing we can do for him is to look to the blessing as a place of rest and satisfaction, not the one that produced it, we praise the "thing", we have turned away from our lover, Jesus' words in Luke 13:34,"O, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!" Christ is calling for the rebelious people of Jerusalem to himself because he loves them, but don't you see, he is speaking about all of mankind, including you, the person who has countless times, run away from God even while his call was on your ears, I urge you, run to Christ! he is the only thing that can satisfy, that can fill your heart, he gives peace like no other, but we need to accept Him as a perfect, loving, and graceous God, who forgives those who repent with sinceer hearts. God is calling, he always is, but the question is will you listen...there it is, the truth, that has been stored in my heart for months, do with it what you want, but remember this isn't because i have it figured out, i'm struggling with this too so take it from me, review the Gospel and start "preaching" it to yourself and see what happens...
