Dan in real life.

You know how sometimes you come to the chapter in the book that has the same title as the book itself? I guess thats what this is. You can say this blog is a book. A book about my life, and this chapter can be the one to catch you up on this life of mine.

Life keeps going and I cant stop it.

Things get thrown at you. You might catch them, you might not. But thats life I suppose. "You cant win 'em all" grandma says...actually she says "prune juice and fish sticks," but the other quote sounds like something grandma would say.

Opportunities arise and all I can say is you better snatch them while you can.

I just recently got a job at the Well Bred bakery and I couldnt be more thankful. It was one of those times. the unexpected times. I applied everywhere else in the world and didnt get a call back and after multiple prayers and conversations with God, this job just happened. I shall not complain.

This summer is hard for me. I really want to be back at school. Not that being home is a bad thing, but I just wanna go back.

God has decided to really test me this summer.

God consume me from the inside out.

in progress.

Hes still workin on me.

To make me what I ought to be.

It took him just a week to make the moon and the stars,

the sun and the earth and jupiter and mars.

How loving and patient he must be,

Hes still working on me.

only opinions.

Love.

Its such a strong word.

I cant even grasp its meaning.

I have this idea of what I think Love is, but my opinions are not fact. Only opinions.

For the last couple of months Ive been dealing alot with relationships. They are everywhere. Friends, family, tv, books....I just cant seem to escape the reality of living in this world full of people being in great relationships. Its tough, cause I really want to be in a relationship. I get so focused on the idea of being with the "perfect girl" and being able to have someone, that I forget about the most important relationship.

That being between God and me.

Getting back to love.

Love is so much deeper than we make it out to be. The word is loosely thrown around. We dont get it.

I dont get it.

There are the forms of love that the Bible mentions.

Ill be looking those up.

sun's gone for a while.

Ive never really liked rain.

But I like it when God speaks through thunder. His voice proclaiming that this world is his, not ours. It reminds me that Im not in control.

God take this sinking ship and point it home.
