15 Rounds
I just wanna prove somethin' -- I ain't no bum... It don't matter if I lose... Don't matter if he opens my head... The only thing I wanna do is go the distance -- That's all. Nobody's ever gone fifteen rounds with Creed. If I go them fifteen rounds, an' that bell rings an' I'm still standin', I'm gonna know then I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood...
Tuesday Night
You know, sometimes a blog just isn't a great place to write what's really in my head and heart. I had one of the coolest and oddest experiences a couple of days ago, and it's something I don't really want to share with that many people. I hesitate to call it a miracle, but in some ways that's exactly what it was. I knew this past Tuesday would be a meaningful night, whatever happened. I knew I couldn't do anything on my own, so I sought God with a passion I've not seen in myself since January. Most of you that really know me already know essentially what I'm alluding to, and that's okay. I had tried to prepare myself for just about any outcome, but when it came down to it, I still don't know what happened. I've never had my emotions so out of my mind all at once. Things didn't turn out to be what I had most hoped for, but I really didn't mind. I really didn't at all. And that's what I mean by a miracle. It was only be the grace of God that I reacted the way I did.
Still processing that night.
New Photos
I've got some new photos I finally got around to processing, so here they are.
I took this shot along the Davis bike path in Somerville this past Wednesday morning. As of this moment, it's one of my favorite shots ever.
These shots were taken at the VW photo shoot from a couple of weeks ago. I was the stand-in for the hair and lighting. :)
I like this guy standing on the T. Just so token.
Walking Away
I spoke of walking away from God in my last post, and I've had a few comments and emails about it. So I'll clear things up a bit. By walking away, I don't mean that I turned my back on God or stopped going to church or anything. It was just a rough time at school. And as I've thought about it, I think it was really more that I felt further away from God than I did in January. Which is really no surprise, since that was coming back from the mission trip to Central Asia where I've never felt God so tangibly.
Thanks for the prayers, guys. They really are appreciated. If you have any of your own, really, please do send them along.
Million to one shot, but I think I might just have another 13 rounds left in me.
