New Sense of Responsibility

Well, as you know i have been attending the bible study that Eric has been heading up and things have been going so great. I've gotten to see new people come to Christ, like my good friend Micheal Collins which is so awesome and his girl Roxanne. And recently I've gotten the opportunity within the last week to see this girl Miriah and her friend Bryan come to know the Lord. It has been so awesome.

Though through all of this it has been a weird experience for me because i found myself struggling with the same things as i did before and still in the same old habits that i was into before. Now things have changed. God has blessed me with the new responsibility of Leading and being in charge of the worship part of our group, and i cant tell you how amazing that makes me feel and how much of an impact it has already had on me. Things i did before i cant think of doing now because of this place of responsibility that I'm in, in fact they seem petty and just stupid.

The first night we did worship i was totally un-prepared and caught of guard so i went and just wung it and within the first half hour a young girl walked up and had accepted the Lord. AWESOME!!!! Then the next study we had she shows up with a friend and HE ACCEPTS CHRIST!!!! what a testimony this is that the Lord of all is in control.

if you want to join us we are gonna do it every Saturday night probably sometime between 7 and 8pm call me if you want to come and ill tell you where

The Process

its awesome when a random tune pops up in my head
then i put words to the song according to how i feel and how the song makes me feel, or how the song makes me look at the world around me or inside my own head.

like tonight a tune popped up in my head and i was excited because it has a jazzy bluesy feel to it, but i didn't expect write the blues.

but ill say this, looking deep inside myself i feel like a failure. i guess every song cant be a happy one.

Jet Plane (Happy Song )

So I'm sitting in my place of dwelling a couple nights ago and thinking i feel like writing a song, and just i say that this tune just pops up in my head. At this point I'm just in awe, so instantly i pick up my guitar and start trying to feel out this tune. as my fingers start gently sliding down the strings the melody starts stringing together and this turns out to be that happiest tune that i have ever written. (I cant even really say that this tune is completely mine, like God just gifted this to me.) So i start thinking this needs some lyrics and i don't know what i want to write about yet. As i think to myself about making words it dawns on me when i hear this song i just feel happy, so i decided to write about happy things and this is what i came up with:

Raindrops
for the first time on a babies forehead,
singing songs and melodies of hapiness,
Photoes,
of you and your grandpa while your walkin,
never lose such a memory,


As your life flies by you like a jet plane
please remember its not about the bad days
and for the future always pay attention to the little things

Air is,
Flowing through your fingers
while riding in a car thats going nowhere
The First Kiss,
after the best date you've ever had
leaves its mark upon your lips forever

As your life flies by you like a jet plane
please remember its not about the bad days
and for the future always pay attention to the little things

letting go,
moving forward,
starting over,
getting older,
all these things to come and many things to go
and all the while just seeing it in slow mo-

Now you and me
watching the sunset below the horizon
never felt as sweet as such a memory


So yea that was this little gift that was given to me and i just thought i would share it with you I'm so excited about it. I love you God so much and i thank you so much everyday for the gift of music and the outlet that it gives me.
