Etched Well, I'm leaving tomorrow morning bright and early to head out to Columbus, OH for the Dare2Share conference. I'm really excited and nervous at the same time. God's really been working on my heart recently, and I am very excited to grow more in my relationship with God. He's been revealing himself in some pretty mighty ways lately and especially through music. Obviousely, I'm a musician, so I love music, but recently, it's been even more. Like, it's not always just about lyrics. I mean, those are a magnificent part of the song, but sometimes just chords or something extra added in to a song that you don't usually focus on. I don't know... maybe I'm just weird, but God has been real to me lately. I love it, and I can't wait for this month of February. Starting tomorrow, my life gets crazy. From Dare2Share, to Belize, to Florida, finally back to Corning, it's going to be so hectic but amazing! I would certainly appreciate some prayer as I know that I will need some extra supernatural physical strength to get me through this month.

And by the way, one of the way God's been working on me is in the area of prayer, so just to let all of you know... I'm praying for you (and by all of you, I specifically mean people who I know/am close to/semi-close to.... I try, if I can, to pray for specific needs, but I remember you guys, and I love you.....

God bless you this coming month. Obviousely, I don't know how much I'll be able to update. I'll try to do one between Monday and Wednesday, so you can get an update on the conference, but if not... I'm sorry.

Anyways, I hope you all are doing GREAT. Be you. Hear God. Be open to him. Let him change your lives. Listen and obey. Pray. Study. Grow. I love you all.

I just know that i've never felt like this
and i know it's because
you exist in my life
like hope shining bright
through the stormy skies
and that's why i could
never turn away from you
i'd be some kind of fool
to think i could lose your love
you know that's
something i can't do

'Cause your the answer to the question
the reason to the rhyme
you're the rhythm to my heart
when it beats out of time
i'm so thankful,
Lordthat you are mine
it's true that you
are my soul tattoo

Lord, you know
all that i want to do
is to spend my life loving you
it's your love time and again
that pulls me through
and i want to say thank you

'Cause your the answer to the question
the reason to the rhyme
you're the rhythm to my heart
when it beats out of time
i'm so thankful, Lord
that you are mine
it's true that you
are my soul tattoo

Etched on my soul
your love is so true
always in my heart
in your arms forever
stamped forever
here in my soul

'Cause your the answer to the question
the reason to the rhyme
you're the rhythm to my heart
when it beats out of time
i'm so thankful, Lord
that you are mine
it's true that you
are my soul tattoo  ¶ 10:08:00 PM
