Awake My Soul... revisited

People say be careful what you wish for...well I surely got what I wished for... my soul has been awoken in wonderful, amazing ways and really really hard ways. I learned so much about myself and continue to learn more every day. I can say that these past months have not been the easiest, but I am confident that they happened for a reason and that I am meant to be here and meant to be here now.

Things I have learned these past few months....
1. Perseverance is key.... Life gets hard, but keep pushing through.
2. I am part of this HUGE epic adventure that God is creating... Being in CO is part of that epic adventure... He is doing something GREAT
3. God does speak to you, you just have to ask and maybe ask alot, but you also have to be willing to listen.
4. I miss my family... I think I meant to be close to my family
5. I love working with youth... God has made this very clear to me these past few months and I am even more confident of that now then I was 8 months ago.
6. Trusting in God is ridiculously hard, but worth it. I have to remind myself to trust God everyday... every morning.
7. It is ok to be mad at God, I just have to remember to trust through that anger.
8. Love is the most important thing Jesus taught... Love people!
9. I have been learning to find my identity in Christ and learning to love me the way that He loves me.
10. Positivity and hope are what get me through life!

The Blood - The Middle East

This song is a new favorite right now. I just LOVE the sound of it. I love the instruments and the way the song flows. I especially love the end of it. The lyrics are a little odd, but is still so good! This song really does make my heart smile!

Music

Music makes my heart so happy. I don't know if it is the beat, or the way that music puts people on the same page, or the way that it communicates on so many levels. Music has a way of connecting people to places, events, experiences, memories and so much more. I want to share my love of music with everyone, so I am going to post videos and explain why I love that said song... I hope that you enjoy an insight into my life.

The Summer Caused a Hiatus from the Blog

I survived my summer at camp! It was AWESOME! This past summer has been beyond wonderful, but I have had little time to do much of anything other than play at camp! So, hopefully, I will be more keen on blogging in the next few months... Once the snows come, there might not be a whole lot else to do other than blog and watch movies and listen to music!

Florence and the Machine

I am enjoying this song right now! The band is great too!



I hope you enjoy it as well!
