As I begin into this realm of blogging or online journaling, whatever it may be, I hope it may be an aid for myself and others to grow closer to Christ. If that is not its end result or even why I start this thing then it is in vain. I hope for this blog to be a place of growth for myself where I can pour out my thoughts, and pour out my heart.
I will be honest that I am broken and I am in need of Christ more desperately every day. If this is just a tool to fuel my own pride I hope that it is struck down and my words are not heard. I want to God to do great things with my life and whatever is a hindrance to me should rightly be cut out.
Those who know me to some degree, know that music fuels alot of my actions. I am often found guitar in hand almost pretending to have written some great song often belonging to Scott and Seth Avett or John Mark McMillan. I like them believe that music penetrates us as humans. That God made us in such a way that we can comunicate through notes played on a guitar or words carefully crafted to elicit a certain emotion. Although I love music and what it can do to our hearts, I know that there is something greater than music; that music is not the answer. It is easy to get lost in the music and let ourselves believe that the answer to our purpose may lie in music but once again we are looking at a sign of our creator and not actually looking to our Mighty God as we should. Our lives should be our worship and music should naturally flow out of that same source, in this light it makes sense. It is just an appropriate response to what has already been done and what God is doing currently in our lives; looking towards a future with Him.
In short, so begins my life of worship.
