this was a great show. i was a little worried when eisley came on and had some sound issues. thankfully these were sorted out before mute math took the stage. and owned it...
speaking of eisley, let me first say that i was never as into them as alot of my friends, especially some bryan folk. but recently i've enjoyed a song or two of theirs and was curious to see what they'd be like live...
they were pretty good, but their set was a lot longer than i expected. i was really only familiar with their latest single, invasion, and enjoyed their performance of that at the end...
mute math was fantastic, of course. the crowd was HUGE and so into it. ingrid and i were stuck in the middle of a sea of people, where i was able to catch glimpses of the stage, enough to know that this was a great show.
i was especially jazzed that they performed peculiar people. i love that song.
control was as wonderful as ever. i loved this particular version too... i think at this point there have been several live versions i've heard, but this was my favorite.
one day i'd love to hear progress live... :)
i'm no musical expert, but i have to say that i thought this particular show was exceptional. they were definitely on last night.
after the show... was surreal. i've never seen caution tape separate those guys from all the people hoping to just get a glimpse of them. we waited outside for a few minutes as well though, even just to exchanged hellos, which we did as they were heading off in a car to the airport. thanks for taking a couple minutes, roy! really good to see them...
they're playing in new orleans today. wow. praying for those guys...

frustrated
tapering off prednisone...
pros:
swelling finally going down, little by little
insomnia gone
ravenous appetite gone
cons:
more pain
don't feel as upbeat and gung ho
constantly feeling in need of a nap again
weird appetite- only wanting certain things now and then
nutrition down according to dr.
iron levels are low again according to the dr.
platelet count high again... means disease is active.
emotional
SIGH. i can't wait till this is over. i'm already over it. no more prednisone. i don't care how amazing i felt on it... it's not worth it.
going to see the dr. next week. both my doc and the surgeon, just for a consultation. who knows what they'll say, but i appreciate prayers.
at church yesterday, someone in my church family expressed very genuinely how excited she was to get to Heaven, to see the glory of God realized. how exciting is that.... PLUS, the whole glorified body thing is something to look forward to as well.
just like the title of my blog, THIS is just for now. our lives on earth, all of our trials are so miniscule in the great plan He has, and that just makes me want to make the most of it. my job is to take that and use it to bring Him honor. humbling.
hmm, this blog has quickly turned into one that is primarily keeping track of my health, which is unexpected. but there's that.
on a different note, i'll be seeing mute math this weekend and that is definitely something i've been looking forward to ever since the tour dates were posted months ago. :)
