A Late Night Journal Post ~ Aug. 26th 1:34am


Several nights ago, I was sitting at my desk wondering what my life would become. It was quiet sad because life's greatest questions shouldn't come after ever other possible endeavor: I had watched all my favourite YouTube clips (which I must admit are few), my books didn't quiet hit the spot (which is rare), and nobody was on facebook (By now, I knew something was wrong). My brother was asleep and, as for all I know, the only sounds were him sawing logs and a weird cat screaming outside my bedroom window. It was a lonely night as I fiddled my hands and stared at the ceiling.
 
But then, this crazy idea stepped down into my room. So crazy, there's no way I'm writing it down. I jumped out of my chair and began piecing bits together. It was so true, but so unspeakable. So real, but so bizarre. All at once it explained, but all at once it shrouded. That night, I fell asleep wondering if my life could become something new.
 
A few weeks later, a friend skyped me late at night. We had our typical introductory remarks – jokes and what not. But suddenly, the conversation became serious. He said he had a business plan for me. And as I leaned back into my chair, my friend said, “I have this crazy idea.”


It's weird how God works.
