Not To Us, Lord, Not To Us, But To Your Name Be The Glory (Ps 115:1)

About Me

I'm originally from Canada, but I'm living in Sydney, Australia right now studying at HILLSONG COLLEGE! Loving it! Just being here blows my mind of how God can use a life... NEVER EVER did I think I would end up at the other end of the world studying music... Never did it cross my mind that I would be singing in the choir of a simple church band that has impacted literally the whole world... I never thought I would go out in the streets of another country and minister to people, loving them like Jesus would. Blows my mind. I'm overwhelmed. One day, I would like to write ONE song that will inspire the church worldwide.... Just one song that will bring MANY to turn their lives to Christ and to live a life worthy of His name... Living the dream... Let's see what comes out of this!
