Listen here. Life is good.

And that was before she decided she would date me...:) finally.
You are the best Kelsey Elaine Boone. ;)




How could I ever complain about life. I have got some great people in my life that pursue the Lord which in turn encourages me everyday! I go to a school that does it's best to nurture my needs. I could write forever about this, BUT I am able to spend everyday with the girl of my dreams! She is something else people. Man I do not deserve this (in a way) royal treatment that the Lord gives me. Unbelievably thankful.
I DO NOT love the caf, therefore I will not be living on campus next year. I will make my own food thank you very much.

So life is good, but what have I been up to?
Well, today was pretty dang interesting... I woke up around 10:30 to walk down to Ben Brown Plaza for Earth Day with my class. (That is my only class of the day :) ). But wait, it gets better, I held a python. For like 15 minutes... Strong little sucker. After having the easiest class ever I was a little worthless. I sat on the quad for a while getting my way into the social pipeline. haha. whatever. AND THEN, me and trevor rented those crazy green regions bikes and rode them everywhere. Off roading on the quad, down sweet hills in west campus, and through pittman circle. Childlike? I think so.
That is not it folks, then it was time for the weekly Harry's Coffeehouse. (Thursday's rock me.) The Suite C and Steve Moakler played. Both quality people. Both decided to rock faces with their angelic voices. You all are probably bored with this now. The rap up: Then I played a softball game. Then we went ahead and beat some sigma chi's. No biggie.

Ohhh SportsCenter I see you!


NEEDTOBREATHE is on Saturday. Am I excited?? You betcha!!!!!


If our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
-Tomlin you said it best.

Free Bowling Vs. Sleepyhead; Twitter.

College kids can not get enough free stuff. Last night was free bowling. Did I go? Yesssss. Come to find out, I would bowl a 194. Now, I am horrible at bowling. My highest score before 194 was 120. In the zone I guess. So we bowled and bowled until we were tired.
Tired. That is the name of the game today. Ole hump day has proven to be a hard one to fight. Lesson learned: Don't go to bed at 2 in the morning. Every morning... I'm still learning mom.
Now I am sitting in the fitness center occupying this mindless job that I do every monday and wednesday. You would think that this job is ideal, which it is sometimes, but more time than not I am left with nothing to do but sit here and explore many different profiles on facebook. That is just not healthy and not very "cool". On the flip side, I get to write, which brings some sense of worthiness to my self.
Lets go back a little. I was a big twitter hater some time ago. I had always thought that twitter was just some stupid site that did the same thing as a facebook status. Welp, I had to get an account for my JMC class. My thoughts were, though, to just get it to make the grade and never really update it. I have since started updating my account and it is satisfying. From knowing information before other people to just looking at funny pictures. AND following one of my idols, Joel Houston. It's all good. So, if you too are a twitter hater like I once was, I encourage you to set up an account, search for your favorite celeb or your best friend and go to town with it. Just do... Just try it.



Keep it real folks.

Playing in the dirt and fireworks

This past weekend proved to be nothing short of a relaxing, more than well spent weekend! I went to the Boone Manor in Louisville with Kelsey if you did not know. The ride down was a little on the long side and considering my frame is about 6'4 my back tends to hurt in the car for that long. Well it did not fail me this time, it hurt. Enough complaining though, cause the time spent with friends was WELL worth it.
So I played in the dirt. Not by myself but with a pretty cool kid named Joseph (Kelsey's kindergarden aged cousin). He was pretty cool. We dug up worms, crashed monster trucks into piles of dirt, and dug up worms and then showed them to Kelsey and her Grandma. Taking me back to my childhood, with not a care in the world. Not a care.
After a fun day at Mimi and Nee's house ( Kelsey's grandma and granddad) we went to the magical/overcrowded Thunder Over Louisville. It was pretty awesome I must say, but I only need to see it once. Those were the highlights of the weekend. I mean I can not tell you everything. This little blog here can not handle that... I mean come on.
Information about summer plans I may or may not have told you about:
I heard back from the man in charge of this Haiti trip. He sent me the job description and as much as I wanted to reply and say, "Oh yes! I am totally fit for this job!" I could not. I just do not have the experience yet. I understand that. No biggie. We may have a bit of a compromise in the making though. Maybe.
Summer job/internship leads have been very slim, which has been a little discouraging to say the least. So if you are reading this and thinking, "Hey, Matt Davidson may like doing this for the summer!" Then you let me know. :)

As always, you all are too kind.
Give thanks to the one who allows you to do anything.

2 am I must be lonely.

Who sings that song?
-Matchbox 20. you got it.
I am in fact not lonely. Just cannot sleep.
It is pretty amazing how the busyness of life cause us to forget about what we truly love to do. It has happened to me. I love writing. I have become way too busy and now I cannot write everyday. That is a problem people. So, this has got to change. I have got to take steps to relinquish some of this busyness and spend some time loving (writing).
What has been happening lately in my life?
Internships is the name of the game as of late. Do I have an internship yet? Nope. I know something is going to work out.
So these internships I have been talking about are so out of the ordinary for me, but that is exactly what I want/need. I may have the opportunity to live among the people in Haiti and write and photograph my time there. It gives me chills just dreaming about what could take place while I am there... The other is an opportunity in New York City to work with a ministry that ministers to homeless children in the city. If you are anything like me you are probably thinking,"Holy cow matt I have chills and you better get one of those jobs!!!" These opportunities are huge. Life changing. I ask you, if you are reading this and feel compelled to do so, just pray for me. Pray that if these opportunities are supposed to happen that the funds will be there, and if these are not what I am supposed to be doing that the Lord will put something in my life. Prayer is essential for living a life that honors Christ.
If I can pray for you in any way DO NOT hesitate to ask me. Message me, or whatever.
SO, expect to gradually be reading a little bit more in the coming days, months. I will do my very best.
It most likely will not be at 2 am though... That is just not healthy, and my mom reads this. She would not be happy at all...


If you know me, you know how huge this is.

Could Not Complain If I Wanted To

Easter weekend has come and gone. It was just a joy to see the parents and spend some time with friends. AND Kelsey came with.
Stuff that went down:
We went to Grace Fellowship's Good Friday service. POWERFUL.
Went to Mountain Park First Baptist Church on Easter morning. That pleasing to the ears. Didn't know ya had it in ya MPFBC.
AND THEN Sunday night we went to Midtown Church in downtown Atlanta. That just completely rocked my face off. Relentless praise was going down. Much needed.
That is actually not it...
Monday morning-ish we woke up and climbed Stone Mountain. What a feat we overcame! Stone Mountain is a staple attraction for those who live near it.
This message will be cut short due to a meeting.

WORD.

I Am Yours And You Are Mine

My alarm/ringtone is With Everything by Hillsong. I cannot think of a better way to wake up on Good Friday! I hear the astounding voices from a live version of With Everything, and I am up and out of bed ready for what the Lord has in store for me that day. Today has seemed somewhat ordinary. BUT I know it is different. My goal today is to take a step back from my busyness and think about what Jesus did for me. I have to turn around and LOVE people because that is what I am called to do, and I will do whatever HE says. My good friend Will Cohen said it perfectly, "There would be no Sunday without today." I love that.
I've got some fairly large expectations for this weekend. I mean I am bringing Kelsey home with me so it better be pretty awesome, right? Climb Stone Mountain? Yes.
Through all the busyness in your life I urge you or should I say plead with you to stop and give thanks for what you have! I know people say that all the time and it may seem repetitive, but seriously we are quite lucky people.

Nothing is too good to be true.
