The title to my very first blog on my brand new Blogger account(can I get a woop, woop??) seems fitting only so I can explain why I have deemed it proper for my ENTIRE blog to be named after. I won't lie- I sat here on my bed contemplating for what felt like many minutes what I should give my blog as an official title. Something that EVERYONE will read no matter how in depth they look into this thing I've created that will certainly become an outlet for random emotions, wonderful memories to be retained and yes, of course, heartfelt lyrics to songs that I will one day become famous for. (Ah, the confidence, it's wonderful, really :) )
Anyhow, I racked my brain and the two words that kept creeping into it are from a song that I have loved for many years. Its quite an emo song, that I actually don't identify much with beyond the wonderful music and a few random stanza's in the lyrics. The band is Mae and the song is Sun. If you already haven't jumped out of your seat and rushed to get their album all because I mentioned it then I suggest you do so in the very near future. I believe every single person will find something to connect to in their music. If it isn't the fantastic lyrics that move you it will most definitely be the incredible musicality behind each and every song. (Disclaimer: they are, at times, emo. But who isn't these days?) The combination of knock-your-socks-off vocals, rock piano, guitar, drums, and often times orchestra, sheesh- I get goosebumps just thinking about it. They are who I aspire to sound like. No joke. A mix of that minus the sometimes emo status lyrics and Coldplay and you get ME! Yay!
WOW, anyways, I am easily distracted... The point of the ever so carefully chosen title is that I believe that no matter where my God is taking me, no matter where He sends me- it is always going to be a BEAUTIFUL location. By beautiful I'm not saying that I happened to luck out to be God's #1 all time favorite child. No, the joke is not on all of you and I will not only be sent to live in places like Hawaii and Cozumel. No. It's the state of mind I have chosen to have about wherever He is taking me. Wherever I go- He is always with me. So how could it not be beautiful??
Example: I recently went to visit my soon to be new school in Kansas City, MO. The Forerunner Music Academy is FAR from glamorous. It is actually almost a 180 from what I had envisioned in my head for it to be. But it doesn't matter to me at all- I know that this is where God wants me to be. I know for a fact that this is where I need to spend the next 4 years of my life. It is beyond perfect for what I need to do with my life. For what God has placed a passion and a desire in my heart for, MUSIC. Talk about answer to my prayers!
So, if there is anything one must take from this increasingly long blog it is that I believe in my heart that my Father God has a perfect plan and a perfect will for my life and it is my duty to listen to His voice and follow it as closely as possible in order to always wind up in my Beautiful Destination. I may be a mess and completely ridiculous at times but He will always bring me back. I may not always hear Him loud and clear and may take a few, or hundreds of wrong turns but He will always take me back. So what if I whine and complain? I am an imperfect human and HE loves my unconditionally.
And so this love affair with blogger begins...
Destination: Beautiful
