And for my first post! ... Some explanation

I suppose this being the first time I've posted on my blog, I should explain the title of the blog in case you have no idea what it's from or what it means.

twentyone pilots has truly changed my life. I discovered them during my first semester of my freshman year at college. The song "Guns For Hands" was the first song I had ever heard by them and I fell in love with it immediately. Being the person I am, I couldn't stay away from their other music so of course I listened to the rest of the album Vessel. Needless to say, I was in love with this band. I listened to the self-titled album and the rest of their music from then on. 

Late the next semester, my friend Josh and I found out that they were releasing a new album within the next few months. So we waited anxiously in excitement for the album to drop. As they released singles from the album leading up to the drop, the songs seemed to get better and better when finally the album released. We were more than happy.

Blurryface. What is it? Well it's the sinful side of Tyler Joseph, the leader singer in twentyone pilots. It is his evil nature. It's the man his human-natured self wants to be. Blurryface is all the sin that he wants to commit and the selfish desires of his heart. It represents the devil inside him. 

This is something I relate to directly. Being a Christian is hard. One of the most difficult parts of being a Christian is hypocrisy and not acting in it. 

See, it's easy to sin. It's easy to give in to selfish desires. We are born with a desire to fulfill what we want in any way. But God commands us to do the opposite of what we desire so badly. God's plan for us to not be Blurryface. He commands for us to be set apart from our sinful selves and to drink from the cup of his truth instead of the cup of the world. And the cup of the world is made of gold and laced with diamonds and boy does the liquid inside taste good.

I've got two faces. Blurry's the one I'm not. 

Those lines are taken from Goner, the last song on twentyone pilots newest album. Frankly, I have to face it. Blurry really is not the person I am. I am a child of the one true God. I am a follower of the most high, and the desires of this world aren't meant for me. The sin that I continue to be moved by is NOT what God wants for me, and not what I want for myself. God's plan for my life does not include my Blurryface.

Everyone has their Blurryface. Your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides. Which path will you choose? Because Blurryface wants you dead.
