Not having the internet at home sucks. It means I cheat work out of their internet when on lunch and I never remember anything that I wanted to say. Most of my genius occurs when I'm out and about walking or coincidentally at home on my computer.
I'm struck with a sense of frustration but at the same time a sense of ease.
So I'm 21, In full time work, and living life. I live in a lovely house which I still havent completely moved into yet... but I'm on the way.
But it's the feeling of being on the way that is both comforting yet frustrating beyond belief.
Nothings changed. Besides the fact that I am comfortable with the fact that I'm 21, single, about to get the travelling bug, earning and playing music.
What more do you need?
What does the world tell you that you need?
What does God tell you that you need?
Who do we listen to more?

'When did it become ok to be comfortable with faith and Christianity?' You ask good questions! Christianity surely is a wierd balance of satisfaction and its antonym. Satisfaction in and with Christ and grace and His phenomenal love, and dissatisfaction with our inadequacies and total, absolute lack purity in every way. I don't know... can we ever be comfortable in that position? Good question indeed, I might right that down.
I like where you're at with art and sound and God. For people who don't know God, art is their expression of something supernatural and beyond them as much as it is from those who do know God, right? Christians don't HAVE to make art about God so why would non-Christians NOT have to make art about God? Hmm... I like it.
And as much as I think that dance doesn't 'make your spirits fly' as one of my teachers says... it does kind of... as does music. There's definitely an incalculable, inarticulate whelming feeling attached to art and its affect upon the body and spirit. Hmm... yeah, I like it. Keep investigating.
Basically I think we can't understand it until science fully accepts the supernatural and investigates it in a new way for us to understand or.... until heaven. But can we be satisfied with that answer?
Yeah I started reading Practicing the Presence of God and found it absolutely phenomenal but had to give it back to someone... or I lost it, i can't remember. I know that hearing God's voice is practice but... I also think that some people can easier than others like... Pete Grieg (is that his name? 24/7 etc) recognizes that more often than not he accidentally falls into God's plan rather than ever knowing what on earth is going on by having heard God's voice and I think I might be more like that...
I'm no sure though, that reading is my answer because i have infront of me 34 Christian books that have all been recommended to me as excellent. How many have I read? 10, worse than that, how many have I finished? 4.
4 out of 34. For whatever reason, I don't think that not reading books on it is my problem... I need to read the Bible and DO prayer more. THAT's my problem. Although I would love to try anything that's recommended.
Yeah I think so. They used a picture of me for the SS newsletter, guess they haven't got any more recent pics since then... do you think they're meant to ask my permission? Gutted, the scarf I'm wearing in that pic (which you can't see this time) is my favourite and recently lost :-(
