Beginnings are always hard. So are endings. I’ve never been too good at either, really. I prefer the middle; most say that it’s the middle that counts the most anyway. “Beginnings are scary, endings are sad…it’s the middle that counts the most”. Isn’t that how the saying goes ( Read more... )

Someone paid for my rent this week. I don’t know who, but there was an envelope on the kitchen counter addressed to “Chancy” so I opened it and four 50 dollar bills fell out. Whoever it was doesn’t know me very well because they spelled my name wrong, but this stranger just blessed me more than they’ll ever know ( Read more... )

I just updated but I already feel a need to update again. I don't know what to make of it but it's on my mind and so I must get it down so I can sleep peacefully ( Read more... )

I haven't felt very inspired to write anything in here anymore. I don't know why not or even what it is that typically inspires me. I've journaled everyday for the past four years and here I am in Australia "in search of myself" yet with a constant loss of words. I'm not too busy.

I'd like to think people read ( Read more... )

Australia has been pretty unreal thus far. It's crazy to think I am actually here but at the same time it feels so right. I absolutely love the girls I am living with, the house is incredible (amazing backyard, can't wait for springtime to roll around so I can play outside). Everyone I have met so far is just so friendly, Australians as a whole are ( Read more... )

Well, today's the day. It came quickly, what happened to May? I don't think it's hit me yet, I've done a pretty good job convincing myself that I'm not leaving the country for 6 months. It helps with the anxiety; separation from friends and family, not knowing what to expect, money issues etc. I'm excited and can't wait to get there, which is a new ( Read more... )

I saw Him in Ryan Frack's smile. I smelled Him in the leather scent of the BB. I felt Him in Sam Putnam's humor and free spirit of laughter. I heard Him in Doug's voice as he sang sweet songs of Charlie Hall and David Crowder. And I saw Him in Kristen's concern for her sick camper ( Read more... )
