In the darkest hour,that's where I found true love

About Me

There are 3 things that are consistent in my life my love for Jesus Christ and His love for me, My love for people, and my love affair with Diet Pepsi. Yep, that's about it. Everything else is a beautiful abstract painting that shifts day to day. That's because of salvation. I don't believe in getting saved, but rather surrendering yourself to the salvation of Jesus moment by moment. And this is uncontainable, indescribable, a consistent paradigm shift. He doesn't change, but I do. More of His love and beauty is poured into me every day and through so many different ways. I don't believe that just because I am a Christian things will go just as I want them to and nothing bad will ever happen. This is called ignorance. I do believe that if I want something, I can have it, if it's according to His will AND I'm willing to fight for it. If it's not willing to fight for, it's not worth anything. I do believe I am in a war...against myself, the lustful influences of the world, and the enemy of my soul, Satan. I used to not believe in Jesus. I thought he hated me and didn't care if I died. Oh contraire. See the enemy of my soul had convinced me through a horrid series events starting at age 2 and ending at 18 that this was the truth. It wasn't. It was the exact opposite. One day I met Jesus. And as soon as I said that you pictured me walking down the aisle toward the altar at church, but that's not what happened. I prayed outside, alone, without a "repeat after me," not in a church, and probably with all the wrong words, but I was desperate and willing to admit it, and that's all Jesus needed. The rest, as they say, is history. I can't leave Him, and He just won't leave me. And hey guess what, even after I got "saved" I still went through some hell, but He's always been there and that's the promise. The promise of His presence. I love Him too much for words. My weaknesses include being brutally honest, overly optimistic, and being somewhat unpredictable. My strengths include being unafraid of truth, seeing beauty in everything, and being intrigueingly spontaneous and adventurous. My favorite things to do are create things, love, and laugh out loud. It's what my Father does. He taught me well. Please check out the following video. Myspace Backgrounds

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/14/2006
Band Members: Yours truly
Influences: This organization right here: The beauty found in the simplicty of every day life inspires me to write. The heart of God, of course. Really I write whatever I hear Him speaking. I've found that I can't write unless God breathes it into my spirit. If I try to write an "I'm angry at the world song," it totally sucks, so I only have songwriting abilities when God sees the need for it, I guess. Other influences...my beautiful sisters, well my beautiful family really, laughter, my pastors, tears, unanswered prayers, broken trust, restored trust, healing from betrayl, being rescued from suicide, being a victim, becoming victorious, abuse, drugs, being given beauty for ashes, the gentle whisper of Jesus, tragedy, death, abandonment, redemption, being fatherless, being adopted, rejection, approval, secrets, seeing art in everything, knowing my Creator is the most phenomenal artist ever, captivation, frustration of not understanding what God's plan is, knowing God's sovereignity, ministerting to teenage girls, seeing a teenage girl not abort her baby because of something I said, feeling like I'm going to die from heartache, curling up in a ball and praying I was dead, trembling in that moment as God wraps His arms around me, the call of God on my life, all concepts abstract, realizing that opposites produce each other (ex: pain/joy, light/dark, which births the other?), For me God brithed joy from pain and light from darkness, I have a happy ending that way, Reformation, revolution and knowing I am a part of one....the list goes on and on...I know what you're thinking, "these aren't artists or musicians," and no they aren't, but what inspires me the most to write and sing and well, live, is life itself. Beauty is beheld is brokeness. I am broken, therefore I am beautiful. This is what I long to communicate in my music. If you're broken that's ok, true beauty will eventually surface, and once it does, there is no denying its existance. If you need someone to talk to about anything, please message me.
