I chose this title because that's what I want you to do when you come here. This is a place to share my thoughts and experiences. A record of my journey. A place to share what I see about God, and I would be honored if you would come and watch with me.

Statue of Clay?
So why didn't I just put my name? Well, to answer that question I'll first tell you why I chose this name. I chose it because it's what I am. See, my goal is to be a statue that stands fixed pointing to heaven, and for now i'm just made of clay. When the rain comes I often melt and lose my form. But the more I stare at the sky, the more the Son will bake me, and the stronger I will become. One day I hope to be a statue of stone, that can stand the weather, unmovable, staring to the sky without blinking. Why didn't I just use my name? Because every time I write I don't want it to be "me" writing. I want to remember to keep my gaze fixed upon Him and so I chose a name that will remind me to do just that.

Music
SO! I realized something today, well perhaps it's just that I only fully realized it today. I've always wondered what causes my overwhelming attraction to music. And, I know that everyone likes music, but for me I try to have it on constantly. When I do school, when I'm cooking, when I'm doing chores, or even back-flips on the trampoline. And I often wondered why it was that I need, or rather greatly desire music (So have my parents, and it's caused some trouble) anyways, the conclusion that I came to was this. Music gives the illusion that there are people around me and with me. Now this is important because God made me to want to almost always be around people, I'm extroverted, it energizes me. But I think it's also more than that, not only does it give the illusion that there are people around me, but also WITH me. We're on the same page, doing the same thing, on the same thought, essentially one, singing together. That's one attraction I have to singing with people, at that time those singing are all coming together in one accord. I think this is the main reason I'm attracted to music, though I know that there are other reasons. OH! and I felt this song today, like you know the times when you hear a song, and your like "I was just thinking that!" and everything that they say your like "YES!" that's exactly how I feel (btw I absolutely love those moments) well that happened today, the song was "Smile" by Chris Rice. amazing song (as is "wonder") well anyway i'm done ranting...

I know why I like to sing with you now, too.
