What's up? My name is Noel and I think a lot... Too much actually. I write whatever's on my mind at that moment. So expect to be in awe of how random my posts will be.

 

I’ve spent the past year questioning all I’ve ever learned. Whether it be philosophical or physical. Through this time I’ve made some regretful decisions and some that I will be glad I made for the rest of my life. To most outside people I know I appear crazy for living like this WILLINGLY. In fact if I’m completely transparent I’ve had more than a few days where I’ve questioned my motives and my direction. As another year goes by I’ve come to terms that life is unfair and can be downright cold. Every day consists of work that is needed to be done and running away from problems only make them worse. A lot has changed since I last attended a class in college, and plenty more will change within these next few months. In everything though, the one thing that keeps me going is this: Hope.

Hope is what keeps me focused and driven. The hope that this broken world can only be fixed by it’s creator. Many a night, I’ve laid on a couch, on the floor, in my car crushed from that days obstacles and every time I find myself finding peace in the hope of my eternity with my savior. Now I don’t want to seem overly dramatic. I know others have had worse circumstances. I’m just sharing what’s currently on my heart because I feel led to.

To all my friends who are either in or about to be in a season of uncertainty, I can assure you that in Christ, no matter the circumstance, our future is secure. Our hope will one day become reality, and because of that, you can survive another day in this world.

No greater treasure can be conceived than the Son of God.

John Piper

Life ends…
Or does it?
Is this all we see,
Or will we wake up in eternity?

Are there oceans in heaven,
Or do we stay buried…
in a cold and lifeless coffin?

Will I always be loved?
Or is it over when you die?
The sky could either be so blue
Or it could be so black…

If you and I ever make it to heaven,
And I happen to see you again,
Do you think we’ll remember one-another?
And maybe just maybe,
I could take you back?
