Thursday afternoon.

This week has been really odd - in a good way. Just how, I should be stressed, I was stressed - but I am not right now. I feel like God has sort of just lifted that from me so I can really focus on what I have to right now, school work. I don't know where I will be in a few months - but I know that right now I am here, and I am going to get everything out of it.

I don't know if I've really talked about it on here - I don't think I have yet, so maybe I will? Lately I've been pondering the thought of not staying for my second semester, and coming home to Canada to pursue my dreams. Thats sort of silly hey? Dreams are just dreams, things that will never come true. I've come to think about them differently lately though.

Think about this. So God has made us each differently right? We all are programed to think, work/function differently - God has given us each desires in out heart, things which bring us complete joy. Music is truly my passion, what I really enjoy doing, what I feel I can contribute to our world today - although it may just be simple songs, Its still me - my piece, my voice. From different messages and sermons lately, I've just been hearing this over and over: to chase the God given dreams that we've been given. I hope that I am not in some foolish state of mind and just interpreting this incorrectly, I truly believe thats what I've been hearing lately. I am not sure what to do about it, well - I mean lets be honest, I am sure what I am going to do about it - just when, is more the question. Thats been on my mind a lot lately, thankfully I am not as stressed about it this week though.

Just think about it though. God has given us those dreams - maybe not even for our good, but the benefit of others. For me personally - my music. Its not really for me, the music is cool - and the music itself can convey a message, but I've been realizing that thats not even the point. Being a musician who plays music gives me a plat form, it gives me opportunities to meet people that I would never have met if it was not for that. It gives me a platform to speak hope, life, love into peoples hearts, minds, lives. I don't know, Its just something I've been thinking about.

Who ever said that trying hurt?
And honestly - what is there to loose?

On a weekly note though: I've been doing real good lately. I'm really just digging into God. I am really starting to get God - really trying to get to know him at least. Its been good so far! School work can really creep up on a person easily, so I am making sure to spend lots of time working on it, trying to get it done before it needs to be done - thats always the better way to do it.

Taking life one day at a time!
I hope ya'll are doing well back home.
I miss you all -

Take care.
