he's making all things new

i can't explain it really, the change 61 days make. i could start with the obvious i guess. a new city. a new job, ect. but it is much more than that really. i cant describe it as accurately as i would like but it is like laurie v 2.0. for starters, i have become a vegetarian , and quite by accident at that. i began with a fast....i was going for a while so i was just on juice and water and then moved back up to vegetables . but then i just kinda decided to stay with that for the most part. sure ill eat your occasional dairy and bread but in all honesty i am quite content with the no meat thing. and it seems to be suiting me well. secondly, i am becoming far more adventurous than the city limits of columbus proper had allowed me to be. i have begun longboarding. it is a blast. let me start by saying this is a stretch for me. i was never a skater, or very athletic, or had an balance, so this is quite a feat for me. now i by no means am very graceful at this. my skinned knee and bruised ankles can attest to that, but thats kinda the fun in it all. another change: my temperament . i wouldn't say that it has changed all that huge as much as it has evolved. i have lived my life as a pretty easy going person, but has taken a different route. one of more integrity and less give a damn. not working a nine to five and wholly relying on the Lord's provision scared the hell out of me at 21, at 25 it is something so out of my hands that it is freeing. either this is going to end with me falling on my face or proving God's hand in my life and either way i will continue to do this. i know this is the right path. that is the truly liberating part. it leaves me with a new outlook on my years ahead. in the mean time i am having the time of my life v2.0. he is making all things new. again.
