12:16 PM - Christmas Cheer... Or not
If I have to listen to "feliz Navidad" on the radio one more time, I'm gonna go postal, and it will not be pretty.

4:06 PM - Sheer Amazement
I was looking through a journal that I had written in extensively from about the beginning of february to the end of March. I found this poem that I had written about how God had changed me.
It is with sheer amazement
I sit beneath a dull gray sky
The clouds scatter above me
the sky shows through, blue, timidly
Timidly was how I sat here last time
But who is in control now?
It is coincidence against confidence
I stare across a dry horizon
A landscape that was
Trees of bitter pain whither
All that has come is fresh, new
A gold aura resonates from a distant pond
All is permanently refreshed
It is with sheer amazement
I am taken through the atmosphere
I arrive at an undiscovered planet
Curiosity pilots my vessel
I see a being, resembling myself
It is with sheer amazement
A tear falls down a warm cheek
Faceless, the being turns my way
An imploding force is come to me
Change is the energy, freedom the wave
It is with sheer amazement
I sit beneath a dull, grey sky
I've sat here before
The clouds scatter
My God has rearranged
It is with sheer amazement
I am complete
I sit beneath a dull gray sky
The clouds scatter above me
the sky shows through, blue, timidly
Timidly was how I sat here last time
But who is in control now?
It is coincidence against confidence
I stare across a dry horizon
A landscape that was
Trees of bitter pain whither
All that has come is fresh, new
A gold aura resonates from a distant pond
All is permanently refreshed
It is with sheer amazement
I am taken through the atmosphere
I arrive at an undiscovered planet
Curiosity pilots my vessel
I see a being, resembling myself
It is with sheer amazement
A tear falls down a warm cheek
Faceless, the being turns my way
An imploding force is come to me
Change is the energy, freedom the wave
It is with sheer amazement
I sit beneath a dull, grey sky
I've sat here before
The clouds scatter
My God has rearranged
It is with sheer amazement
I am complete

10:54 PM - New Beginnings
Hey there everyone. I know its been a little while, but I wanted to wait to find a moment that I was too bored to even sit and stare at a wall, to fill you in on my ever so exciting life. So with that said, here it goes:
- First and foremost, i am no longer a member of the band Jade. For so long in my life I have wanted to just take that first step in the direction I know God is calling me in. I've known the whole time I was in Jade that eventually I would do worship, but as time went on, I found that I would only be fulfilled leading worship. So thats what I'm doing, and that is the ONLY reason I stepped away from Jade. It was not at all a bad break-up. I just have to follow God, which brings me to my next part:
- I decided, for sure this time, to get my butt into the school of worship at New Life Church .
There was an "epic battle" in my head for about 6 months on whether or not I should go there. So finally I realized that I just need to step out in faith and get on it. I was so afraid that every move I made would be the wrong one, so for a long time, I just did what I was doing at that time, and didn't try to make progress in my life. I've heard it said before "It's easy to steer a ship back on course if it gets off while moving, but steering a shipped when its docked doesn't matter, because it's not going anywhere anyway." Well I'm on the move now, and honestly loving God more than I ever have in my entire life.
- Oh, and also for the school of worship, I needed to record 2 demo songs, so they could hear me sing. I wanted them to be high quality, so I could use them for other things, not sounding like they came from an 8-track recorded in my bathroom in the middle of a hurricane. I've posted them online HERE , so check them out, and let me know what you think in the comments section on this site, or at the myspace site.
- Continuing on worship matters, I went to the Desperation Conference the 28-30 of July. It freaking rocked. I've come out feeling unstoppable for God. I also learned that God cares alot more about who we are than what we are doing. So I know I will take alot of time this next 10 months developing who I am, more than what I'm doing.
- Things with my girlfriend are going better than I ever thought they could have (not because of you sweetie, but because I'm a retarted dude). I love her more and more every day. August 14th will mark the 11th month of our official "dating" relationship, though we've liked each other much longer than that. I hear about these relationship dramas that alot of people my age are going through, and I consider myself lucky to have found someone.
Anyway, I haven't had much sleep the last few days, so i'm going to hit the sack. If you stop by, leave me a comment, please, so I know you were here. Love to you all....

I think that heaven will be awesome because not only will God wipe away every tear, but he will wipe away every "why did...?"

I'm the kind of guy that wakes up in the morning, walks into the bathroom, sees my hair, and says "Man, I wish it could stay like this all day"...

9:15 AM - Teeth Cleaning
So today I'm heading up to Castle Rock to get my teeth cleaned at the dentist office where my girlfriend works. I'm somewhat nervous as to what they might find, seeing as how I haven't been to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned for about..... 6-7 years..... (ok, I know, just breathe) . Now, I've never had any cavities, well, I'm not totally sure about that. Anyway, I'm just hoping they don't find some kind of ancient civilization living in my mouth, like all the whos of whooville living on a snowflake.
