-bands head to metalcore Christmas music-
Thank you ABR! :D
I live. I am human. I am a teenager. I am a guy. I live for something greater. I struggle with the basics. I groan at the usual. But I keep living to do what has been asked of me.
You can call me Speedy.
I'm here to reach out to the ones I love and care for. Once in a while I'll get sentimental, or deep, and probably blog something like it.
My life has simple aims, and a difficult path to them. I deal with it the best I can.
I am Speedy. I am Christian, but do not fear me, for I will love you regardless. I guess this is the chance for anyone who cares, to see the depths of my mind, and everything it holds, dark or bright. Happy or sad.
Read my thoughts or leave them, they are yours to criticize.

Is this idolatry?
What about this?
Is this idolatry?
Even this?
Honest question. Is it? O_O
I feel that sometimes (and I’m guilty of this as well) that we place a greater importance over the band than we do our own faith. I can sit there and pound my head to all the Christian metal I can… I can literally go all day… but then… it’s getting to a point now where it’s just music. Do I actually act on my faith like I should? Do I get into my God and his word?
No.
I have no problem getting into the band. Checking for new albums, downloading new songs, and seeing where they’re playing next.
But then… I rarely find myself checking out my God and where he is in my life and the lives of others…
So is this idolatry? Or just poor focus?

"Lord, show me the way
As I give myself to you
Never let me go
Hold me with Your everlasting love
Be my strength
Be my voice
My glory
Set me free"

"Here the strongest fall to their knees
A passion so powerful that walls crumble
To their foundations
Here the strongest fall to their knees
The lost find their way back home
Here the strongest fall to their knees
The lost find their way back home
But the masses buy what will make them rich
Feasting on lies
Chasing their tails
Truth be told
They’ll get what they were promised"

I’ve thrown away all of my outside distractions.
I’m diving headfirst to chase a dream that I won’t let go.
It’s worthless - a waste of time.
This goal is out of reach. You better fall back in line.
This is what I need. You are what I need.
I need motivation to prove you wrong, and I will prove you wrong.
What makes you think that you are different?
How can you chase these dreams? They’ve become a chore.
I know I’m close. I’m almost there.
Just a little more, and I will prevail through what you call “ignorance”.
I will prevail.
Now I’ve chased this dream to do what I love, and I wouldn’t trade it for a thing.
Now I’ve chased this dream and I made it out alive. I wouldn’t trade it for a thing.
I threw away what naysayers say,
and started on a race that I had to win for myself.
And you proved me wrong, you proved me wrong.
All I’ve learned is teaching me more. All I know is driving me on.
All I’ve learned is teaching me more. All I know is driving me on.

"
Sometimes I need to hit a little harder.
Sometimes I need to speak a little quieter.
I made you carry the casket of an innocent man
When it should have been me.
It should have been me.
Oh God, I’m speaking to you.
You said we are redeemed.
Oh God, I’m speaking to you.
You said we are set free. You said.

"I’ve feared the deepest darkest secrets that live inside of me.
Defeat and tragedy, walking in shame, finding nowhere to hide.
I’ve thrown my bottles of guilt into the sea,
hoping the waves carry them away from me."

"
You are the captor of originality. You are the thief of authenticity.
Respect is something that you’ll never see. Everything you write all sounds the same.
You’re forsaken. Forsaken on this mountain. The bridges have turned to ash.
This is your final hour. This is your great fall.
You won’t make it out alive, so say your dearest goodbyes.
- August Burns Red
