Well Kids, I'm 21.

It's true. As of 21 minutes ago........Ok now 34. In those 13 minutes of dots, I was watching Erwin McManus videos on YouTube. I am so exited to check out all of the awesome churches in Los Angeles. Oh, I suppose this would be LA's blog debut!

I'm moving to Los Angeles.

For a semester that is. Possibly more. I never really seem to know when it comes to this kind of thing. God really takes the wheel and then I follow, sometimes accelerating, sometimes braking, but usually just trying to figure out where I am in the road trip after waking up from a nap. Right now I'm moving quickly but cautiously towards LA. It's a lot less safe than Boston, for one, but secondly, 3 to 4 months is a pretty small amount of time, and after that, I really have no idea what I am going to do. I'm 99 percent sure I'm not going back to Berklee, but the one percent is there simply because I can't really be sure about anything. Penn State is an option for me, but I'm not entirely sure what I would major in. It's a blessing, and slight annoyance, when you're pretty sure you have grasped what God's calling is in your life. Going back to Penn State, when looking at where I really believe my life is headed, is sort of illogical. But then staying in Los Angeles with only a mediocre job that can't pay off my student loans isn't such a good option either.

I think, well actually I know, that my parents worry much more about my life than I do. They have a wider peripheral vision than I do. I guess it's also a way that I keep myself from stressing out too much. I have a task before me and I need to focus on that first. Then I'll allow myself to succumb to complete and total stress attacks.

Heh. Just kidding. I really do enjoy the way my God has led me so far. He knows that the more He tells me, the more I'll try to figure out, and what's the fun in that? It's God's way of shaping me, preparing me, for whatever it is I'm headed towards. I know it has to do with shining a light in a dark place, and creating a revolution through art, film, music, anything-popculture. People need to be inspired before they can even realize that there is something even deeper that they crave, and I think it's my job to inspire them.

I heard something in church today while someone was talking about the Avatar movie. He said that He was glad that we didn't worship creation, but the Creator. Why would we want to worship creation when we can worship the Creator? God has made us to live for so much more. Switchfoot is ahead of the game.
