And then…

I’ve been waiting for some amazing event to transpire in my life in which to write about, but sadly life has been pretty mundane for me the past week or so.  I have been really consistent, actually somewhat obsessive, about riding my bike.  I’m up to 145ish miles in 14 days of riding.  I feel really good and I’m thankful to have an “exercise” that I enjoy and actually look forward to.  I can’t wait to keep it up and hopefully someday do a race of some sort.

I did get the new Paper Route ep which I’ve been waiting for for a very long time.  Paper Routes first ep, “Paper Route”, changed me.  It was as if someone stepped into my dreams, took a good long listen and then jumped out ran as quickly as possible to a studio and recorded what they just heard.  In other words, it was the music I always wished I could make. But sadly, I can’t sing or write songs, so that makes it a bit tricky and thats where Paper Route came in.  This newest recording is a bit of a departure from the things that endeared them to me originally, but I think it will grow on me…I hope.  More on this later.

I feel like many of the people I know and even people I come in contact with are in major transitional phases of life.  I see this proven true with family members, close friends and even the band(more on this later).  I don’t think Kristin and I are yet, but I do think we are in a sort of “calm before the storm” moment.  I’m overwhelmed by the Fathers goodness to my precious wife and I over the past year.  Columbia has been a surprisingly wonderful place for us to start our marriage.  Even when I don’t feel we deserve it and do nothing to earn it, He has shown His favor to us.  We try to share this amazing Love with others the best we know how.  I do feel we are being prepared for a change, we just don’t know what it will look like.  So we are now beginning to seek wisdom and guidance as we look to the horizon, waiting as patiently as we can to see what God wants of us.
