I just want to finish the songs I've been working on. But I'm probably painting a picture thats just in my mind. Cause really, reality doesn't match with the words on the page. Its like I've been writing a history book and you know what they say that it repeats itself but I never thought it'd be this way. But im also digging up the past and looking at it through a different lense. Maybe because I didnt have the words to write about it then. But I mean im a writer looking for material. And its just love. But how can it be JUST love? Because even love changed its lenses and became more than it seemed to be before. This is all just a freaking metaphor that will repeat itself tomorrow. And tomorrow. And tomorrow.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,  And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

Catch me in your eyes and I'm yours forever.

Tonight was the last Gethsemane prayer night and was my last time leading worship for the year. Tonight was so beautiful. One thing I've always envisioned as a praise leader was to have the congregation sing without fear and just worship and tonight that happened. In every song we quieted down and just had our voices singing stepping away from the microphone to have all voices heard singing praises to our God. Wow. That was so beautiful. Such a blessing

P.S

I’m starting to think I’m writing love songs to no one.

Thankfulness

Today in training we went over the topic of praise and thanksgiving. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 is a life verse that really stuck with me since winter quarter and in every struggle or event I always ask myself or God, “aight God what’re yoi tryna teach me or how are you using this event for your glory?” Cause in the end I do believe that because we were created for his glory then everything that happens in our lives “good or bad” in our eyes is always his glory and for our good i.e Romans 8:28. But I digress

Anyway we were asked to think about things that are hard to give thanks for. For example, you failed a midterm, you lost your wallet, or even deeper things like loss of family. And it’s not to sound so evil like “hahaha thanks God for that death” but instead it’s more of a faith thing. Like “God thank you for who you are that you do things for my good despite the circumstances I will give thanks to you because of who you are etc” and it’s not to invalidate your circumstance and your emotions. Again I digress.

But what I really struggled with was to give thanks that some of my friends and family don’t know who God is and maybe follow a different path that’s leading them down somewhere dangerous. You know? Like it’s hard for me to say thanks for drug abuse and alcohol abuse within some people I love. Cause that stuff freaking sucks. And it makes sense to find it hard to give thanks for that. But as I have been learning more I do have faith that in all circumstances one way or another all things are for our good and for his glory.

This week, I’m glad and give thanks that through a dry couple of weeks I was reminded of just the beauty and power of the gospel. Anyway thanks for reading even if this doesn’t make sense to ya, I hope that one day it will.

Not innocent

But forgiven. Not innocent, but gifted freedom. Not innocent but the one who loved paid the penalty. Endured it. Because of love. Because of redemption. Dang. Not for our glory but for his. Daaaang.

Its really amazing to hear and see people turn to Christ. Like I would have never expected so and so to become a believer and wow its cool to see the power of the gospel working.
