Freeing My Mind

Today has been insanely busy. We’re trying to put the final touches on a new adventure that we’ve decided to take. Stay tuned to awake.org and this blog for more information on The Cover Project. Hopefully we’ll have more details and the website up sometime next week.

I’m super stoked about tonight. The Awake family is having a homemade pizza party. One of my good friends from Charlotte is coming up and I don’t get to see him very often. You know, no matter how hectic the world around you gets, one constant for me is my family. Not just my blood family, but all the amazing people around me that keep me in check and support every crazy idea that I have. You guys are definitely “my people”.

Now for more updates on the ongoing world of change around me. Lately, I’ve been walking through a lot of cob/spider webs. At least 5 times a day for the past week I’ve found myself pulling webs out of my hair and mountain man beard. Usually every morning I pull at least 3 fairly lengthy strands of wife’s hair our of my beard. This morning I actually pulled a cob web out of my beard. It’s getting out of control. I’m not the type of person that finds prophetic significance in every detail of my life, but there are times when I know that God is getting my attention amongst everyday circumstances. It all makes sense really. Cobwebs are traditionally thought of as representing that which has grown old. Things around me are growing old and stale. I feel like I’m walking around in an old house. I’ve been through some stuff and I’m different, but here I am walking around in an old house that no longer has any life left in it. It doesn’t know you and you know longer know it. So the question remains. Do you restore the house or look for a new one? I think I already know the answer.

Over the past few days, I’ve had more and more of a soberness in my spirit concerning our current state as a nation. I believe that the shaking we’ve been experiencing in the United States and around the world is not over. In fact I believe that certain things will get worse. Recently a trusted friend of mine, Bobby Conner, mentioned that he felt like now was a time to reposition your life and listen to the voice of God more intently than ever before. I feel like this is true. Things are changing all around us. Who we are in God and who God is in us will never change, but our lives will. When you’ve tried to clean out the cobwebs and they keep coming back, maybe it times to get a new house.

Today, your my inspiration
