best news in a long time...

| Josh Garrels | April 14th | Chicago |

You guys, I am so excited. My favorite artist IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD is coming to play in Chicago.
(course i am also excited because he hails all the way from the great state of Oregon!)
His music has literally been playing on repeat on my iPod for the last year and a half (you may think that I am exaggerating. I am not). I had the privilege of seeing him play in Corvallis about a year ago and I have never been so impressed by a live performance. Not only was I so impressed by the way his love for the Lord was so incredibly evident in his songs and his demeanor when he sang, but I was even more blown away by his humility on and off the stage.

So, to all of my Chicago friends: please join me for a night of fantastic music and fellowship. You won't be sorry! 
You can buy tickets HERE.

Here is a video of my favorite song of his. Let me know if you want recommendations of more songs :)

Beautiful Letdown.

It was a beautiful let down When I crashed and burned When I found myself alone, unknown and hurt It was a beautiful let down The day I knew That all the riches this world had to offer me Would never do. In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in, Until I found out I don't belong here . (Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot) Sometimes, I am so easily distracted. Have you ever noticed that it's when you are doing something important, like homework, chores, QUIET TIME WITH THE LORD, that all of a sudden your mind gets filled with all these "super important" (not really, though) things that just skip a million levels on the priority ladder? Since when was checking the weather more important than seeking the face of God early in the morning? The answer is never; it's never more important. I just get distracted from what is important. This past weekend, I heard something incredibly profound. A pastor said that as we grow in fa

It's ok to not be ok.

I’m not alright, I’m broken inside {broken insiiiiiiiide} If you grew up listening to positive, encouraging, K-LOVE, you likely recognized those words from a Sanctus Real song (and if you don’t, worry not, you aren’t really missing anything). While sometimes I’d like to think that I’ve evolved into this authentic, cool Christian who is obviously too cool for mainstream Christian music, sometimes the Lord chooses to humble you by making you cry with a cheesy Stephen Curtis Chapman ballad circa 1999! I can’t explain it, it just happens sometimes. At any rate, this song has been speaking so deeply to my heart, because it has been a rough season for me lately. I think that a lot of times as Christians, we equate living the “good Christian life” with having everything look good on the outside for people. For me personally, I think that my life probably looks pretty awesome from the outside, and for a while, I was okay with people thinking that it was an accurate portrayal of how I’m
