I apologize to all of you for not updating my journal recently. I have been super busy with work, school, church, and I just recently got myself into recording so I have been writing a lot more music lately. I am supposed to be speaking at my college group for my church November the 6th if anyone would like to come out to that. I am going to be ( Read more... )

It really breaks my heart each day to see so many of my friends or people I know who are trying to find happiness and joy in what will not completely fulfill them. When I think about it, the analogy comes to my mind of imagining that we have this amazing lasagna that is going into the oven but we have to wait an hour for it to come out. We decide, ( Read more... )

I am happy to report that my Savior has set me free of something that I should have released long ago. I have had many struggles with self. Thinking that I have to be a perfect vessel when God calls us to be willing vessels. We fool ourselves so many times when we say " I know what God likes so I am going to do that" or "I am going to do what I ( Read more... )

Please pray before you begin to read this. I want you to receive this the way God wants you to receive it ( Read more... )

I feel so crappy over all this hurricane stuff. I have been taking it lightly until it really sunk in that people have had their lives ruined by these events. Families are separated, people are walking around with their clothes on their back, and all of their possessions have been taken out to sea. It is so easy for us to forget the harsh reality ( Read more... )

Yesterday, my house was out of power and my parents and I were sitting on the backporch. I watched as the trees would sway from side to side. I was anticipating the fall of many trees, but they were resiliant(sp?) to the power of the wind. As I layed back and watched nature take its course, I understand that God was trying to speak to me. Whether ( Read more... )

When we become dependent upon ourselves, we ultimately limit God and His abilities. When we face our trials and tribulations, the enemy wants us to say "I can do this on my own" when the entire time, God is saying "Let me fight this battle for you ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! I have been going through such a crazy time right now with my relationship with God. I desire the Lord more than anything. When you desire the Lord, you do crazy things. You tend to sacrifice things you really care about for a closer relationship with God. I decided to sacrifice secular music. Secular music is what I thought was an ( Read more... )

Today, I decided to give away all of my secular CDs. Some of you will probably think I am crazy because you either know how much music means to mean or think I am insane for giving away close to 200 dollars in CDs. Either way, I have gathered much peace and comfort over it all. I am trying to listen to only Christian/Praise and Worship music ( Read more... )

I have been constantly battling with this whole "the one" thing. You know, the whole "Will God bring me a quality girl?". The whole "Will I find the girl that I fall in love with and spend the rest of my life holding in my arms?". I know it sounds sappy but I truly believe that everyone longs for someone to love them and to love somebody. I am not ( Read more... )
