I am here for Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

Let's start with the formalities. My name is Matt and I'm a second year at UC Riverside. I play the guitar and drums, and love to lead worship. I'm a big car and motorcycle guy and I can tell you the make, model, and year by its taillights in the dark. Don't be afraid. I don't bite. However, all this stuff fails in comparison to my relationship with Jesus Christ. He is my Lord and Savior and I try my best to live for Him. I fail at this because I'm not perfect, but God forgives me every time I fall. He picks me up, dusts me off, and sets me back on the way He has planned for me. He died for me to save me from myself. Now that's absolutely awesome.If you're a follower of Christ, I challenge you to give God everything you have. Give him complete control of your life; not just 95%, but 100%. I can guarantee it will be the best decision you've ever made. He will mold you and shape you into in something far more than you could ever imagine. Take the initiative. Make the leap. God will catch you and take you to heights greater than the stars."Vices like Vipers" by Oh SleeperYour scarlet soaked and bold and the sheep's eyes locked to mine, sink to my bones. Though your lips still drip, intentions, they keep me wanting more... It's rising against all the walls we built for falling. All the walls we built just stand in vain to draw you near. It's the wool to hide the wolves. And under these toes from where we last spoke, Your words laid so firm. But I did not shed that skin like You said. When the mason neglects the mortar, looks become deceiving and when the bricks start to fall, I'll be the one crawling down this road so dark. Vices like vipers Speak in whispers. My heel's the meat to sink their teeth, Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!" This is what it took for me to see. When I am God this church is unsound. Slithering in the shade of a sinking church, Surprise is no excuse for the traps that you left in the wake of warning. So this is the warning, You fall to learn. And to the girls, You're worth more than the cheap words. You see your body as beauty, but your pulse is worth more. Hear me, it's not what it seems, though the feeding tastes of honesty. This is the warning, you're just a hit to coax my urgency. Why do we keep what holds us? Why do I keep what holds me down? Lose the weight of defeat. It's time to stand your ground! Vices like vipers Speak in whispers. My heel's the meat to sink their teeth, Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!" Since all the alibis of ignorance are void... This, my lust, the pornos and the sluts. Take, my lust, this world's Love. Great Counselor, take what's left. Great Counselor, take what's left of me
