Hallelujah
Hallelujah, a shout of joy, praise, or gratitude. Never until today did I truly understand this word. My life is falling apart around me. My parents are going through a terrible divorce that came out of nowhere, a relationship that I held dear to me ended recently out of necessity, my job is wonderfully unstable and I desperately need to leave this state. But for no earthy reason whatsoever I am truly the happiest I have been in years. Today I listened to Blister by Memento today and the chorus goes "Every mother is a whore, Every father is a war, Hallelujah, You take any port in a storm, You take any road that gets you home, Hallelujah" I'm not sure what the artist meant in this song but to me it just screams to praise God in this world that is so broken, so sick and dying around us. The lord does not promise us happiness, but he does promise us joy, Today I was showed this as fully as I can understand. My life may be full of depression and tragedy, but my joy does not come from this world, my joy is in the Lord. Hallelujah.

Meaning In This Chaos
I don't rightly know why I'm making a blog, or if anyone will ever read it, but I guess it will help me organize my thoughts... Maybe... In this I plan to jot down whats going on with my bike, music in my life and how God is currently working in and around me. So sit back, yell at me when I confuse you and enjoy the ride.
