"I've given my soul to the One who's had the courage to find me and free me."

I view my life as more of a pursuit of things than of a constant realm of consistency and a lack of change... my life is characterized, in many ways, by my chase of knowledge, in any way possible, and in new original ways to speak truth into such a broken world. I think of Christ and the role He played here on earth; He wasn't really ever sitting still or simply letting time pass... there was a mission, a passion, and something irreversible written onto His heart that He was seeking after. When He prayed, even, in such silence and humility, there was still a passion and promise that He was after.

It was for us.

So how can I more so develop that passion, that promise - that's something I'm seeking for daily, discovering, developing, drawing, creating... in more ways than one. David Crowder talks about art colliding with divinity, saying "When it happens it is a moment of the divine stepping into our human experience. It is our ascending. It is his descending. It is a collision of the earthly with the heavenly. It is what often happens in moments of the corporate worship experience that in some mysterious way seems to transcend our common everyday experience. It is the divine and the depraved interacting and it seems our feet lift from the ground for a second. We rise from our condition. When our depravity meets his divinity it is a beautiful collision."

I think that sums it up pretty well. How I can see that happen continually is what I seek for.
