I was sitting in the ORU worship office the other day... when some boys started jamming out with their own version of "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room." Then I was reminded of the new John Mayer album which I had listened to briefly, but hadn't been completely moved by. So i was inspired to listen to the Continuum album again... and i definitely fell in LOVE with it... i have never liked John Mayer THIS much. So many of the songs just hit me, this is an album for where i'm at in life/how i feel right now.

I especially can't stop listening to "Stop This Train"... so amazing. Almost everyday i am asked what i am doing after i graduate from college in the spring... and of course i have no clue! i know i am praying and hoping i get a job with teen mania/acquire the fire, but i have NO plans! so i don't really like the fact that time is moving on and i have to grow up and become an adult who lives on her own and pays bills and has a real job where she can't go back to her room and nap whenever she wants. plus, friends will be split up, move away, and won't be kept in touch with or seen as often as well as i would hope.it's a huge change.stop this train is all about time and being scared of the future...everything he says is like wow... that's me... yep.and now, i will share some of the wonderfully heart-piercing lyrics with you."don't want to see my parents go...""so scared of getting older. i'm only good at being young. so i play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun.""don't for a minute change the place you're in""once in a while when it's good, it'll feel like it should, and they're all still around, and you're still safe and sound, and you don't miss a thing, till you cry when you're driving away in the dark..."i agree:::::::::stop this train, i want to get off and go home again. i can't take the speed it's moving in... i know i can but honestly, won't someone stop this train?
