Random thoughts of my head from the past month

It's been a month since I've posted a blog, I think that's my record. Well basically, I use this blog to keep people updated and to reflect on my own life and thoughts. These last couple months I haven't been able to reflect though, I've been making a lot of decisions and evolving into this 'grown-up responsibility' thing...truly, it's the stupidest thing ever. There is logic to it, but it's just so bothersome. There are people like me, who just want to be creative, and there are people the opposite of me, that want to just do everything for everybody. Why can't they do the stuff I don't want to do for me? The world would be at peace and so much more balanced that way :)

I will not lie, it's been awhile since I've really read the Word. It's not like I just took a break, I've been growing in other ways, but reading the Word is the most important. Tonight I came across this part of 1st Timothy 5:24-25: "The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not cannot be hidden" It really irks me, annoys me, really pisses me off, that some people get away with so much, and can flaunt it, wear it like a badge in front of everyone, and it's alright, sometimes followed. Yet, people that strive to be pure and avoid sin and make a true effort to do the right thing the right way, aren't given their due. Sometimes even shunned.

I met a man in Livermore yesterday, and he was going through some incredible hard times, like a lot of people across the world are because of the effects of the economy. I listened to him, and I was sad for him, but I was incredibly happy that he shared this with me. And the moment he was done, I prayed for him. PRAYER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND POWERFUL TOOL YOU COULD POSSIBLY HAVE. Prayer is the direct line to the Creator of the universe, what could possibly be a better way to fix a problem? Why are people scared of praying? I'm personally self conscious of how many times I say um in my prayers when I'm in front of people, but ultimately it's inconsequential. Nobody should ever be afraid to pray, or think that it's not effective. Next to a belief in Christ being your Savior, it is THE most important fundamental in a true Christian walk.

I started school today. Before that, I couldn't find my keys, and my belt for the AC in my car finally snapped off. No more AC yaaaaaaaaaay.

My new CD is on schedule. Coming out either October or November hopefully. Definitely an evolution from the last three CDs I've made. Actually this is my first REAL CD, the first three were EPs (EP=extended play/30 minutes). No official name for it...yet. The hard work/foundational stuff is done, now I get to have fun and start tweaking to as close to perfection as I can get it :)

I pray that all your hopes, desires, futures and dreams belong to Christ. Be blessed.
