Rising Against the February Tide

The month of February and I have come to peaceful terms after two years of listening to overly emotional tunes just to make it through the villainous month.

February 2008 came with new adventures, people, and perspectives and along with all that came a new soundtrack. A soundtrack of upbeat electronic pop. Different scenes in our lives are always accompanied by different musical scores and this month is no exception. This is why our taste in music often changes as life goes on. It’s not because we are getting older and we need to stop listening to music that is too loud. It’s because people come and go, we bend and break, perspectives change, we are faced with challenges and are called to RISE AGAINST THE TIDES.

This month has had its share of confusion and prayers for clarity but I also have been elated and overcome with joy. I have seen God shine through loved ones and through strangers. I have been shown hope through bright eyes. I will continue to pray for clarity and seek God’s will for my life. I am relearning how to BELIEVE in things SO IMPOSSIBLE.



"High rise, veins of the avenue

Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue
Everywhere is balanced there like a rainbow above you
Street lights glisten on the boulevard
And cold nights make staying alert so hard
For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off guard
Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to stay
Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away? "
