Lately, I've been learning a lot through the people around me. Through the things they say to me, or the way that they react to their surroundings. Mostly, I just am thankful for 'em. I look around myself when I'm in a big circle and think- holy cow- I got lucky. But here's the coolest part- I didn't get lucky. It's not a matter of luck, you see. It's about Jesus. And how he knows exactly who I need and the exact time I need them. How he orchestrates these incredibly beautiful thing called relationships, and speaks to me through those around me.

I know what you're thinking- Holland, what's with the picture of the banana? Great, I'm glad you asked. The other day was not my favorite day. I think I might have woken up on the wrong side of the bed, felt pretty crabby, and basically had just been off all day. And that afternoon, my lovely friend Devyn came to my door with this lil' nanner. She said, "I brought you this. And thought you should listen to this band." I said, "Bananas are my favorite food!" And she nodded, explaining to me that she thought it would cheer me up. So you know what I did? I opened my computer and put on The Dust of Men, and ate my banana. And I sat there, feeling loved, after a day where I really hadn't. All because Devyn remembered. So I'm just thinking about that, and being thankful. Here's some music that I think you should listen to, because it's great. May you be renewed as I was.
