    Deciding what to do with Life is hard...

    Deciding what to do with Life is hard...


    So being in Nashville, meeting all these amazing people, hearing awesome, God inspired bands lead worship and perform is therapeutic...it also makes me ache for something more in my own life. I know God is in control, and I know that the condition of my spiritual life is more important than the satisfaction of my earthly desires. But my mind says, "If God wants my desire for my physical life to change, then why does He take so much time?" And "if he wants my desire to stay the same, why doesn't he allow those desires to come to fruition. I'm torn between waiting on God and thinking that by just SITTING AROUND doing nothing I'm wasting His and my time. I'm a man of action, and I don't like to think that my actions are less important than my words. I feel like Tucson is a million miles from anything and everything, except for my family and friends, which relatively FEW are at all involved in the Christian music industry. So if my desire hasn't changed in 8 years, and I am open to His changing of my desires, but I still fail to truly advance in my art and resources are few and far between, what am I supposed to think??? I feel like I'm getting HUGE mixed signals and can't figure out ANYTHING of what God wants to tell me.

    So what do I do? Just sit and wait? I can't describe to you this ache in my heart to work in the area of my passion...meeting these people stirs that passion from a gentle stream to a raging river within me and I have no raft to ride the rapids... How do you channel a passion when you have no remote to make sure you're even ON the right channel???

    I feel lost, without a chisel to chip away the stone of my creativity; fighting the forest fire of my burning passion, but I have no firesuit to be protected from the flames; like I'm drowning in my own ocean of desire to serve God through the medium of the Christian music industry... I need help.

    Maybe it's patience, maybe it's initiative, maybe it's support, maybe it's a lifesytle change alltogether...



    Any suggestions???

  • That Feeling in the Pit of Your Stomach

    I've figured out why the bowels was the seat of the emotions in the old testament!
     
    Over the past few weeks I've had many opportunities to feel.....many things. 
    Before I get the point of my story, I will ask a few questions.
     
        How many people out there have recently begun a new romantic relationship?
    Any butterflies in the stomach?
        Have you just had that "meeting with the boss" where you got appropriately reemed for something you did wrong?  That tightness in your diaphragm testify to anything you may be feeling about how right or wrong he was? 
        How many of you are nervous before an audition, or performance, or meeting somebody important?  That feeling where it is like your intestines are playing tug of war with each other...you remember it? 
        Ever been so embarrassed that you wanted to crawl in a whole and die? 
        How about a fight with your wife or husband?  That feeling of, "How do I apologize?" 
        How about the feeling where God intensely, deeply convicts you of something incredibly important? 
     
            What do all these things have in common, besides being feelings?  If you were paying attention, you would know the answer is hidden within the first few questions. 
     
    THAT FEELING IN THE PIT OF YOUR STOMACH
        In the past couple weeks that feeling has been caused by almost every single one of the above situations.  (No I am not having a romantic relationship with my iMac :)

    So it's that feeling in the pit of your stomach that is the Holy Spirit speaking into your life...  Just don't eat Mexican food with bad jalapenos and then say that God hates you

  • Ok so I've started up a revelife page...and so I'm working on blogging on both.

    "WORKING on it"...I said.  I keep finding myself not giving any time to the computer in the evening after I get home from work.  So I will endeavor to eventually spend some time blogging, but for now, it is late and I am tired.

    So I plan to see you all sooner rather than later.
