Exciting times
We are really excited about what God has in store for us in the coming months, and this coming year. ( Philippians 4:6 states, "In all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking Him with a thankful heart.") Things are starting to come around for us, and all of our hard work is paying off. In reality we haven't even begun, but it has felt like a long journey so far. Thats just how God works I guess, when you read the Bible your reading about things that take years to unfold, but …
Refocus
Its been about a year since my last post, an a lot has happened since then. We opened up for some really awesome bands; Fireflight, Seventh Day Slumber, Satellites and Sirens, Burning Yesterday, and released our first official EP. (For those of you who have a copy of our earlier recordings thanks for not judging us too harshly LOL.) We have gone through some major set backs all throughout the year, but with God's help we made it. God has a way of continually making us humble, which is a good thing, …
Recording
Ok. On Friday (Oct. 2) I went to church @ 7 p.m. to try and record. The prblem was we dont have a sudio or even a recording room. Nonetheless I was absolutely determined that, no matter what it takes i was going to figure out how to use our new recorder, and the existing PA system. (I dont know much about sound engineering) First step I knew was I had to find some way to control the sound to get a good recording. I needed a wall, I started thinking about my resources. We had tables in the back so I …
Getting Hurt
Alright, well I've been hurt over a month and i missed a couple of shows; and to top it off I was fired because I couldn't work. If I would've continued working I would have injured myself even more and they would have still fired me. Where is the fairness of it all? who knows, and why should I care. Look at Jesus; he wasnt treated fairly at all, but he continued to follow his father's will, and look what happened in the end. If I am less than him, then I can be content with what God has given me. If someone has hurt you don't let them continue hurting you by letting anger and revenge take root in your heart. Sometimes forgiving someone is more for your benefit then for than person you're forgiving. Just let God fight your battles and continue to focus on him.
Being a Blessing
It's so awesome to see how God works. There have been times years ago when I would imagine the future and think about where I wanted to be. Of course I hoped and prayed, but I could never really see how it would be possible, I could never imagine how God would be able to make it all come together. If I could I guess I wouldnt build any faith. But God is making everything come together, and the greatest honor for me is being able to be a blessing to others because God is using me as a vessel. "How refreshing to know you dont need me, How amazing to know you still want me". The cool thing about being a blessing to others is that those same people that you bless can come back and be a blessing to you. How great is our God huh.
Dreaming
You know its wierd, when I was growing up I was always told that I could do anything that I wanted. We always hear "reach for your dreams.", but then we grow up. As we get closer and closer to our adult lives things start to change slightly. They change form, "follow your dreams" to "you need a good education, and make sure you have something to fall back on." I used to hear all the time "I want you to have a better life than I had", but what defines …
