T-Shirt Design

I have been working on a T-Shirt design for an upcoming youth retreat at Capernwray, so I thought I would share it:

Seattle

In less than a week (next Thursday) I will be leaving on a trip to Seattle with some staff and students. We are there for 18 days, and we will be helping out at some shelters (primarily a women and children's shelter). I have not thought about this forthcoming experience a whole lot, nor have I prayed about it as much as I likely should have. Despite these things though: I am still nervous. Lately I have been feeling overwhelmed without quite understanding where the stress has been coming from. I am beginning to think that I am subconsciously scared about this. I do think that this will be a worthwhile trip, and that we could share light in dark places ... but I'm scared, and socializing in general is something that is quite difficult for me. I am not sure what this is going to look like; but even when I AM frightened, HE IS God and He will not let me down (if I am honoring Him).

October Eyes

My mind is numb
and my eyes are red
October read my notebook where the pages bled
Cursed glance, so she fled
and I did the same, giving up the ghost
and I almost choked when June asked me to the dance
Never knowing that this dance would be my last steps
Last breath, last chance, and God you were in a closed drawer
I should have searched more, I should have searched more

Life and death have seemed to form a correlation
based around elation
making contemplation
Patient waiting for death to take me by the hand
or lack thereof
hand me over to God
there was more to this life but I never chose to look above
held captive by the sun
but not the Son of Man
a nihilistic misconception that led to sinking sand
and Jesus Christ may we please embrace
my Streetcar Named Desire just took its last race
