A quick breath during an arduous semester

Sorry that I've gone missing for awhile. My goal this year was to write a new post at least once a week, but things have been pretty crazy with school lately.

I've been trying really hard not to worry myself about what will happen after May 9th. It's getting really close and I have nothing lined up job-wise or other. I'm trying to just remember that it's not all under my control and that things will happen as they're supposed to. Right now, I'm just focusing on finishing this semester and doing well. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open for opportunities and getting my resume out there.

I went to a benefit show for To Write Love On Her Arms at Ward Church over the weekend. It had a few local bands, including The Dry Leaf Project who were really awesome, and also Stephen Christian from Anberlin. He played a few songs from his side project, Anchor and Braille, which I have always been a fan of. After playing some songs, he took a good amount of time to talk to the crowd about what it means to help people. He didn't just talk about depression and drug abuse, but also about just expressing love for everyone. It was really awesome to hear him speak so candidly and so passionately. This is obviously something he really feels strongly about, and rightfully so. He said the thing that initially made him fall in love with Jesus was Jesus' compassion and love for everyone, even those that society had cast aside. I thought his message was really inspiring and very heartfelt.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that a bit. It doesn't appear like school stuff will be slowing down anytime soon, but hopefully I'll be able to make some time to write a full post soon. If not, I've only got six more weeks of class!
