I think last weekend confirmed for me some special things that have made me who i am. My home away from home through college was this beautiful place of love, laughter, faith, redemption, family and more on a deep level. this place and the people that filled its indoor space time and time again are amazing. It was so refreshing to see so many beautiful and wonderful people together again. i will miss that.

however it confirmed for me that two things always and forever make me come alive:

1. Music -- it is the glue of the world. music that makes you truely feel something other than some sweet beats. and i adore when people i know and love get on that stage to express their gifts thus coming alive through a medium that brings the life out of them.

...which brings me to #2....

2. People -- i love to see people come alive, to be raw and real --no matter the emotion. deep honesty is a beautiful thing.

i was standing next to many friends listening to the incredible sounds performed with instruments that genuinely bring out the life in the people i love. it was indescribable. and while standing there singing along to their old tunes...i remembered why this was apart of my life so much and why it will forever be apart of my life in some way. ...such peace...

there's still more that makes me come alive and i'm desiring to learn how to live from this.

what makes you come alive?
