Burned out mind, Recharged Heart.

We hear the songs of the heavens
See the world come awake
The bonds start to loose so
Feel the earth shake
Blood of a Savior
Pushed back the fall
Love of a Healer
Have overcome

(David Crowder "The Nearness)

Hi :)

It's been a little while, eh? I have lots of thoughts swirling around up in the head right now, I'm just not sure how to relay the thoughts down to my fingers to type out. My thoughts will be sporadic, I feel it coming..

Let's see. Another best friend got married yesterday. It's such an odd thought that two of my friends from childhood are married now. I guess this is what growing up starts looking like. I was kind of bummed last night as I left the reception... there were love birds freaking everywhere. That didn't bother me too much. I just was like, "meh" because of it. I wasn't too thrilled to hang out with another friend and her visiting boyfriend for the rest of the night with the "meh" feeling going on, but I needed to suck up my bad attitude and just.. enjoy life. <-- That's something I could work on more, which is odd for me honestly. Lately, it's something Satan's been attacking.. 

So some friends called me and invited me to hang with them for the evening. YES. It turned into a really really incredible night. I laughed so hard... I cried. And after hours of movie watching, pie eating, playground playing, and chasing each other around a field, we sat down and talked for almost three hours about the randomest things. Naturally. It's crazy when I find other believers who.. just love loving God. 

Yeah. That's all I got right now. I think I'm going to head to my bed here in a bit for a long nap. Before I go, here's a lil bit of God's word I think is cool. It's talking about the freedom that comes from Jesus. Check it:

Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan- The people walking in darkness
       have seen a great light;
       on those living in the land of the shadow of death 
       a light has dawned.
You have enlarged the nation
       and increased their joy;
       they rejoice before you
       as people rejoice at the harvest,
       as men rejoice
       when dividing the plunder.
 For as in the day of Midian's defeat,
       you have shattered
       the yoke that burdens them,
       the bar across their shoulders,
       the rod of their oppressor.
 Every warrior's boot used in battle
       and every garment rolled in blood
       will be destined for burning,
       will be fuel for the fire.
 For to us a child is born,
       to us a son is given,
       and the government will be on his shoulders.
       And he will be called
       Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
       Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
 Of the increase of his government and peace
       there will be no end.
       He will reign on David's throne
       and over his kingdom,
       establishing and upholding it
       with justice and righteousness
       from that time on and forever.
       The zeal of the LORD Almighty
       will accomplish this.
Isaiah 9
