Passion.

Sometimes things change that you never ever thought would. Suddenly what once was normal, isn't. Suddenly you have to redefine what was a life time of normal.

It's funny how God prepares you for things, but what's more funny, is when you start realising, or thinking... "I think God is preparing me for something." That happened to me. I recently lost something big in my life, someone really important to me. But the day before it all happened, I had coffee with a dear friend and mentor and told her that I believed God was preparing me for something. 2 days before that, I wrote a new song called "Reasons" (go figure). It's funny how God works it all out.

Its been a little over a month, but today was the first day I managed to pick up my guitar and play that song Reasons. I had really struggled to even open the case to my guitar, and for those who know me well, know that I love my guitar. But when big things like this happen, suddenly those things don't matter like they used to. Perspective is given. I then proceeded to play Paradox, then Trust Me Now. I then got angry, sad then passionate. It was a really weird couple of hours! I was angry that God had written how I was going to handle this situation into songs I had written as far back as a year ago. Passion. A emotion I hadn't felt for a while. It suddenly become real. All of it. I have always known God placed a gift of music on me, but this was more. I have been talking about getting the songs out there, heck this whole blog is about that journey, but this feeling, this was different. If I can help one person through a situation like mine, then my music has made a difference. That is what it is about for me.

So here begins my little pledge, if you will. I have the equipment to record at home. That stuff of perspective I was talking about earlier, here is where it really comes in. I don't care about getting the best quality recording available, I care about getting the message God gave me when I needed it, to the people that need it in their moment of "being on the ground". I'm going to try and get my songs down into an E.P. as quickly as possible with some help from my amazing and trusty handy dandy techno-wiz friends! I will put all the lyrics on my Facebook page in PDF form so that anyone can get the words and give them to someone.

It's amazing how God works in your time of need.

Hebrews 13:5

Grace and Peace Everyone!
