first game, first loss. . .

so last night our first game of the season (soccer). it was a good game, but we still got beat, 5-1. we played really good, considering that they scored their last two goals on off-sides positions, and one from a pk. it was disappointing, but still a great game, next time, next time. . . our next game is saturday and i can't wait! any prayers would be welcome (they don't necessarily have to be for us to win, but maybe just that no one gets hurt.) i hope we win sometime this season! (pretty sure we will though.) hope y'all have a wonderful week! Ky

Psalm 144:3-4

3 LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?
4 Man is like a breath;
His days are like a passing shadow.


Ky, a passing shadow.

i'm not going to apologize. . .

kade told me that one of the secrets to blogging, is to never ask for forgiveness for not posting, so i won't. i just want you to know that i had a good reason.

and now i don't have anything to post on. nothing really excited has happened yet.

wait, yes! sunday night we made a movie! called, the fbi sellout, for those of y'all who follow kade's (my older brother) blog you might have seen the movie he put up, rainbo, or maybe even the fbi sellout, but i was in both. i was the hostage in rainbo and one of the Shrkill terrorist trying to stop the agents in the fbi sellout. both of the movies are really good, you can see them if you follow kade on facebook.

we are also working on airsoft III (for those of y'all who have seen the other two) and it's going to be awesome (i'm in that one too).

we love to make movies, and it is a lot of fun! you should try it out sometime!

background

i know that some of y'all probably don't like rap much, but this song by Lecrea has really stood out to me. it's an amazing song. he's basically giving his life over to Jesus, asking him just to be sovereign in his life. if you could bear it, look it up and make it the prayer of your life.

Background
Lecrae

I could play the background
I could play the background
'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead?
So won't You take the lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead

It's evident you run the show, so let me back down
You take the leading role, and I'll play the background
I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
I'm sticking to your script, and I'm reading all your signs (Aye)
I don't need my name in lights, (Aye) I don't need a starring role
Why gain the whole wide world, If I'm just going lose my soul?

And my ways ain't purified, don't live according to Your Word
I can't endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
So word to every dancer for a pop star
'Cause we all play the background, but mine's a rockstar
Yeah, so if you need me I'll be stage right
Praying the whole world would start embracing stage fright
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
'Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessin'
That I'm not that impressive, matter of fact
I'm who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar


I could play the background
I could play the background
'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead?
So won't You take the lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead


Yo, I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
I was master of my fate, lost control, and then I sank
So I don't want to take the lead, 'cause I'm prone to make mistakes
All these folks who follow me, goin' end up in the wrong place
So just let me shadow you, just let me trace your lines
Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, you create my rhymes
'Cause if I do this by myself, I'm scared that I'll succeed
And no longer trust in You, 'cause I only trust in me
And see, that's how you end up headed to destruction
Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothin'
You pulled my card, I'm bluffin', You know what's in my hand
Me, I just roll and trust you, You cause the dice to land
I'm in control of nothing, follow You at any cost
Some call it sovereign will, all I know is you the boss
And man, I'm so at ease, I'm so content
I'll play the background, like it's an instrument


I could play the background
I could play the background
'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead?
So won't You take the lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead


I know I'm safest when I'm in Your will, and trust Your Word
I know I'm dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
And I ain't got no time to play life's foolish games
Got plenty aims, but do they really Glorify Your name?
And it's a shame, the way I want to do these things for You, yeet
Don't even cling to you, take time to sit and glean from You
It seems like You were patient in my ignorance
If ignorance is bliss, it's 'cause she never heard of this

(i'll try to post on something other than a song next time).

stones under rushing water



Why don't we dance anymore?
I'm not ok with that.
Why don't we laugh anymore?
I'm not ok with that.

As the years roll by like stones under rushing water,
We only know ,we only know when it's gone.
Yeah the years go by like stones under rushing water.
We only know, we only know when it's gone.

Why don't we smile anymore?
I'm not ok with that.
Why don't we dance slowly?
I'm not ok with that.

As the years go by like stones under rushing water,
We only know we only know when it's gone.
Yeah the years go by like stones under rushing water.
We only know, we only know when it's gone.
Oh when it's gone.

As the years roll by like stones under rushing water,
We only know, we only know when it's gone.
Yeah the years roll by like stones under rushing water
We only know, we only know when it's gone.

Why don't we dance anymore?

------------

as most of y'all know, i've really been liking remedy drive, they have some really awesome lyrics:

"You came into a broken race, took my place."


"King of failures(talking about himself), took my place, now i stand upright before your face somehow"


"All along I was looking for something else, You’re something else. All along I was looking for something more, You’re so much more."


"You’re like a tune I’ve only heard about, let me hear that song hear it loud and strong."


"I crossed the line it's true, when I left my throne behind for you, I gave it all for you, you’re so valuable."



"Come away I'll separate my people, come away I'll separate my own."

Real Thing

soooooooooooo. . . today is sunday. . . and they guy who usually does the lesson in the sunday school was out of town. and since my older brother didn't want to do the lesson, it fell on me. yep, i got to do sunday school with the kiddo's. things were running a little late and so we started five minutes after the appointed time, and just as we got done with the lesson and music, kole came in and told me that dad had just started the parenting class (which means that we had 45 minutes left), so i was pretty bummed because we had used up most of our material. the kids didn't mind, we got to play extra games.

and tonight we get to go to our youth's crazy love series at a friends house, it's going to be awesome.

Real Thing
Remedy Drive

It's taking larger doses now
to make us feel alive
while we’re on the edge
of something much more real

don’t leave me to my emptiness
this grayscale silhouette
this senseless repetition of our days
this counterfeit

give me the real thing not this
watered down or in between
I want the real thing not this middle ground
I want the sight unseen

addicted to this present tense
these dollars make no sense
we chase the wind this gold can’t validate our existence

give me the real thing not this
watered down or in between
I want the real thing not this middle ground
I want the sight unseen

shadow, shadow, where's
your substance
where’s your shine
shadow, shadow, i want the
substance of this time

Minions Assemble!!








despicable me is one of my all-time favorites! i can't seem to get over how cute agnes and the minions are! if you haven't seen this you definately should.

Two reasons I'd last long in a Zombie attack. . .

yeah i know kade just did one like this but i had to steal his thunder.

1: i am known as the Ultimate Killer, and Ky, the All-American American.
2: if things go wrong i can call kade's red phone.

okay fine i'll give you some more.

3: my choice of weapons would be a desert eagle and a K-bar (really big marine knife).
4: i'm a very good shot.
5: a guy who was a world champion kick-boxer showed me some of his sweet moves.
6: if the gun doesn't take it out, and neither does my knife, or my kick boxing moves, i can run fast, (faster than a zombie at least).
7: i can always switch to a mini-gun if the battle gets too hot.

i would love to know why y'all would last long(er) in a zombie attack if y'all won't mind braggin' a bit.

if you post it on your blog leave me a comment to tell me, cause i might not see it if you don't.

more than your average every-day guy. . .

American Dream
Switchfoot

When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
When top of the mind becomes the bottom line
When success is equated with excess

If you’re time ain’t be nothing for money
I start to feel really bad for you honey
Maybe honey put you’re money where your mouth’s been running
If you’re time ain’t be nothing but money

I want out of this machine
It doesn’t feel like freedom

This ain’t my American dream
I want to live and die for bigger things
I’m tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream

When success is equated with excess
When we’re fighting for the beamer, the lexus
As the heart and soul breathing the company goals
Where success is equated with excess

I want out of this machine
It doesn’t feel like freedom

This ain’t my American dream
I want to live and die for bigger things
I’m tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream

Cause baby’s always talkin ‘bout a ring
And talk has always been the cheapest thing
Is it true would you do what I want you to
If I show up with the right amount of bling?

Like a puppet on a monetary string
Maybe we’ve been caught singing
red, white, blue, and green
But that ain’t my America,
That ain’t my American dream

i don't know about y'all, but i want to make my life worth something, i want to get married, have as many kids as the Lord will give us, i want to have a house that's just the rights size to bless others, and my family. not really sure about the dog or the white picket fence, those would be nice but not necessary. like switchfoot says, "i wanna live and die for bigger things." when i die, i want people to say "man. . . that guy was totally sold-out, on-fiya, CRAZY for his Savior!" not "man. . . that guy had a really nice house." i want to be a great daddy, husband, leader, follower, christian, servant, brother, son, friend. i want to go the opposite way, and be willing to loose it all for God.

this is too awesome!!

Plans?

this is the last day i'm going to do this:

28: Hopes, Dreams and plans you have for the next 365 days

Hopes, too many to number. Dreams, way to many. Plans? i wanta go to national convention, score a few goals in this spring season (for all y'all who don't know me, i am an avid soccer player), love my family, serve as much as possible, go to venture, and much more. it would take way too long to list all my hopes and dreams, so i'll keep it simple and just do plans.
