so classes at fuller seminary start this monday. i'm kinda lying low before then, doing orientation stuff and just sorta chilling, reading a lot. i'll probably get a job after a week or two of classes, just so i can gauge the class load and spare time factor. i have three classes: intro to greek, new testament gospels, and empowering christians. this place seems pretty hip.
i'm reading a book right now called "passion and purity" by elizabeth elliot. (insert man card revocation joke here) i actually like it. it has given a context, a framework, to insert a lot of my impulses, feelings, and principles into. i really respect her idea of purity and her story thus far. it also makes me want to become a better man of God; i think it's working. at least i hope.
music has been put on the backburner temporarily. i'm still writing some stuff, prepping for the full length record (which will be recorded in december). however, i've taken a week or two off from really trying to get shows. i want to make sure i'm at the right place spiritually and personally before i start doing that again.
all in all, though, cali is good. i really miss chicago. i miss my friends, my church, my family, my dog buster, my job, etc... but i know this is where God wants me to be. if you can, please pray for contentment within me, as well as continued guidance from God regarding my personal faith. life is good, though! !viva la vida!

Hey Matt, You have my prayers. I know what it is like to move somewhere into the unknown. I did it 4 years ago and I am still good! (And staying in Holland for a while... weird)
But, alas you are in my prayers brother.
Matt! You have a blog! I catch your facebook status every now and then and knew you had moved to CA. Even saw the apartment pix! Glad you're still making music! Hope school is going well. Enjoy it - some days I wish I could go back to school! :)
