So i don't know why i post these kind of things on my blog, but so be it. Alot has been happening recently and alot going through my mind. Mostly that of school, friends and some other major decisions that have come up. I've decided to move out of my parents house and step into another realm of life and do what i can to meet new people and in a way step out of the social circle that i find myself in. Now if any of my friends are reading this, no im not abandoning, i've just got to move forward in life. However, i've had some great opportunities happen in the last two weeks that at one point were only a dream and a fantasy that couldn't have possibly come true. But one of them did, and created one of the funnest things that has happened in the last year.
"I feel my mind, start to float. I feel my mind start to... I float the Minnesota, this is where i float, and now i know it won't be long... before my ship does come along. I can only see this water for mile and miles, i'll float the Minnesota, this is where i float... and now i know it won't be long, before my ship does come along, and now i know it won't be long..."

Life's a changin...
So here it is once again, Christmas Eve.
It's pretty crazy to think that a year ago this day i was walking the streets of Burlington, Vermont. If it was possible to describe how amazing a year ago today was i would make it a point to describe the events of that night. But simply words don't do justice for how incredible it was; simply consisting of singing Christmas hymns to passer by's on church street for several hours, people yelling at us, others stopping to enjoy what little we had to offer, yet so much, to remind them of the Lord and his gift to us. Followed by what could possible be credited as one of the most spiritual nights of my life. I miss New England and it's amazing that it's already come to this point in my life.
This coming week i finally will start school and begin the journey towards my dream of having my eye behind a camera, creating images for people that causes them joy and to help people with what i love to do, and to get paid to do it! I quit working at Kohls today, which in reality was kinda bitter sweet, i won't miss going to work and being bombarded by negativity and colorful conversations... But it was a great learning experience and definatly don't want to work retail again. No Thanks!
Priorities have become TRUE priorities for me, between work, school and the gospel i find myself attempting to live my own love song, thinking about her alot, however not knowing whether to try and move forward or not, much detail to the situation, but learning much patience from it and letting it take its course in the way that it's supposed to, not letting impatience get in the way by pushing or forcing the situation.
Life is changing that's really all, but it's great!

Idiots come is small packages... hmmmmm
So i just had a little reality check and a swift kick in the face and why i decided to put it on here i don't know, because this idiot sure has come in a small package. So here i am trying to figure out how i am going to be able to afford to buy me a Macbook for school, don't try to tell me the are too expensive cause they aren't and it's not the name, it's 100 percent quality you pay for. anyway so i decided to look into ways i could save some money and get extra cash into my pockets. well then it hit me what am i spending my money on. Now here is where the idiot appears in this. Yes i am the idiot and oh boy could i save alot of money through simple dicipline. I went through this month and added up all of the transactions from food places from eating out... well guess how much money i have spent on food? FOOD! for crying out loud, im embarrased to even think about putting the amount here, well........ $220 bucks! im an idiot! so my goal this next month is no fast food, now i know there is no way to not eat out, but im gonna give myself a 50 dollar limit and see how it works, maybe even less. but come on Devin! you're an idiot, you could have so much more saved if you just ate at home. so there it is my stupidity of the day.

Never Stops... It Never Stops...
Now the title of this entry really has nothing to do with what i am going to write, because honestly i have no idea what it is im about to write here. One of the things i used to have to do in one of my writing classes was just write for ten minutes at the first of class and just write whatever it was i thinking, and it made for some pretty interesting thought processes. In a way im gonna kinda do that here, but try to make some kind of point and sounds important. It's amazing to me how life is the way that it is. It'f fasinating to me why god does what he does and how much his love is shown through what he does... now that could be debated upon depending on who you are, say you are from the little town of Epping, NH who goes to the little white community church on the corner of elm street and they are teaching that god is a vengeful god, he tries and works to make life miserable, trials aren't for us to learn from, they are only there to burden us and if god was a merciful god he wouldn't give us such trials. Coming from my point of view and from what i have been taught from a very young age, life if a beautiful thing! trials are to help us grow and understand who we are as children of god. It fasinates me! We meet people in our lives that in someway will either be a great benefit to us or will hinder our spiritual growth in many different ways. Lucky for me i count myself very lucky to have the people in my life that i do. One of which at this point in my life is becoming very important to me and it tends to be difficult to make myself kinda sit back and not do too much at once. i am happier, i want to continually be a better person, i want to make goals and meet them simply from the way that this one person is living thier life and it's a big example to me and it's something i want to have in my life. Looking at this situation makes me step out of any kind of mentality the little white church has and be very grateful that Heavenly Father would put such individuals in my life. Im happier than i've been in a long time, excluding the incredible joy felt while living in the New England states, cause it's hard to get much happier than that. Life is good!
"Im grateful for this day i have to live, for my health and for each breath i have to take in, im grateful, im thankful. Some days are not so great, when nothing seems to go my way, then i remember that i have no right to complain, it'd be a foolish thing to say, cause im blessed. Im grateful for these worn out shoes, im grateful cause at least i have a pair. Im grateful for the struggles in my life that i've had, cause its times like these that make me who i' am."
