"Waiting For Elijah"

So I'm listening to some hippie looking/sounding band called Seatrain (album cover above) and I think I'm in love. The first song is called "Waiting For Elijah" and it's just fitting my mood right now. I love that about buying cheap and used vinyl in Pittsburgh. This record was a dollar and I didn't even know what they're about. It's sick that I can just go on a limb and pick up some random peace of beautiful music. I'm amassing a pretty nice collection of vinyl also which is pretty nice.

Shout out to Biggame for getting me two records for xmas! Thanks brother.

Anyhows, I always get inspired to blog as soon as I get home because I realize just how much I miss home every single time. Don't get me wrong, Pitt is cool, but nothing beats home and comfort. Nothing beats my friends. Nothing beats family.

It's interesting because there's nothing like youth group back here. The funny thing about Christmas and all the sermons that come around that time is that you usually don't learn anything new. But the fact is that sometimes all you need is to re-hear what you've already heard. I know about God's grace, I've felt it and experienced it. But I fall into sin and heartache and destruction all the time. I'm a human. But I still find comfort in the same God and the same saviour that the likes of Abraham, Jacob, David, Paul, and Moses found comfort in. That's incredible. I just wish I could live the way I should be living all the time.

Jesus was so strong. I believe that should never be forgotten.

He was able to do what I never could do. I could never lay down my life for a bunch of people that hated me willingly, let alone live a life so humbly with the titles of "Saviour", "Messiah", "Prince of Peace",and "Emmanuel". How extraordinary was Him.

Anyways I'm just glad I got to be around such lovely people tonight. It's awesome to be back and remember what life is really about. It's about love. It's about the people. Every single time.

God Bless

"Waiting for Elijah. (he's been gone so long now)
Waiting for Elijah. I hope he's comin' soon.
Here I've gone and set a place for you. I've even filled your glass.
I remember every word you said, and how they've come to pass.

Even, even, eventually. Even, even, eventually.

And these bleeding wounds that just won't mend. (and neither will the wind)
White geese in the northern sky release the rainbow's end.
How brightly shines the moon tonight. Our words lay where they fell.
Here we listen, watch, and wait. I lift mine ear to tell you,

Even, even, eventually. I say, even, even, eventually.

And I'm waiting for Elijah. (he's been gone so long now)
I'm waiting for Elijah. I hope he's comin' soon.
I hope he's comin' soon"
