About Me

acoustic diary... is just that. My mom gave me a guitar in the darkest point of my life. music became my outlet. and now here it is, my audible journal... The reason we (I) are not playing many shows right now is: i am a fulltime High School Youth Pastor at Ventura Missionary Church (VMC). Crazy!!! My Dad is a pastor... something i respect but never wanted to be. i do NOT have it all figured out, never will, but i do know I need Jesus! And if He has made my life worth living again, maybe He can help others too. i believe it. And as we all know High School can be ruthless. That's why i do what i do: i love God and i love these students! ....i hesitate to call myself a Christian (only because of all of the negative conotations it now carries) but i guess you could say i am. i completely believe in Jesus. And that He is the Messiah. i believe God intended to have a relationship with people from the beginning of time. We just get too busy for Him. i really believe i can tell Him everything... whether i'm happy, sad, or pissed off, we just need to communicate somehow.... acoustic diary...
