Shadowfeet

So, I was thinking about what I wanted to post about next, and how nothing I write will be as eloquent or fun to read as Anna Bedsole's posts (alas, alack, but such is life). Sometimes I pretend to be Anna though, and life is merry. At least, my written words are. But not really. Oh well. We can't all be blessed with the gift of words. I suspect I was over-gifted in that area, which has really led to an impairment.

Anyway, then I decided maybe I should tell you where the title of my blog came from. So here's the story:

This summer I was searching around the itunes store trying to find some artist I found in a store in LA whose cd I wanted to buy. I never found that artist again, but in my search, I found this artist (maybe providentially? heh) Brooke Fraser, whose work I've really come to enjoy. What caught my eye first was her song called "C.S. Lewis Song" because of course I love C.S. Lewis. So I sampled a few of her songs. This first one starts immediately with walking, stumbling, on these shadowfeet toward home, a land I've never seen. Well, again, I was immediately drawn in, shadowfeet, shadow lands. All the sudden I'm thinking about going further in and further up! Later in the song she sings There's distractions, buzzing in my head, saying in the shadows its easier to stay, but I've heard rumors of true reality, whispers of a well-lit way. So, obviously, while thinking up names for my blogs, I went through songs I'm currently enjoying a lot. Because my life is basically defined by music. And the phrase 'rumors of true relaity' just sounded cool. We are not yet in true reality; nothing is yet in it's true form. What a beautiful truth that is. If this life was all the reality there was, that would be a depressing thought indeed.

Anyway... so I've enjoyed Brooke Fraser's cd Albertine a lot. From "Love is Waiting" reminding that love is waiting 'til we're ready, 'til it's right, to "Faithful" reminding us to reach out for God even when he's not there, because as I wait for you [God] maybe I'm made more faithful, to a simple hymn asking God to continually pursue us until we only dwell in him. It's good stuff. At least, I think so. Of course, I also think Harry Potter and the Pirate's soundtrack are good stuff. Maybe my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt? But I am a passionate believer of finding the gospel in everything.

Somehow I think I've digressed... not much of a surprise really. Maybe that should be the title of my blog "I digress" That would definitely be an accurate summary of most of my posts.

In other news, I have a test in an hour and a half, a date with Anna B. in 30 minutes (not to mention the date I have with Anna P. tomorrow night... I love dates with my girlfriends, but I hate that it's turning into the only way I'll know I'll see them that week), my second psych clinical tomorrow, a vocab test and sterile technique validation on thursday, and a foundations test on friday. life is moving along, that's for sure.

Now the real burning question in my mind is will I have time to watch Gossip Girl from last night sometime tonight or not?
