It's been over 7 months since I last wrote on here. I guess I haven't felt like anything important enough has happened for me to put down into words. Oh well, here's a summary of my last few months:
1) Work is still crappy, but I am very happy that they afford me the opportunity to indulge in all my church/outreach/youth/music times.
2) Sunday mornings are still a bit of a challenge sometimes, as I feel I am at my best when I am leading a full band. It has definitely helped me expand my song base and expectations, and I have grown to love being a part of the things going on in the church. Sunday nights have been going outstandingly well. I can honestly say that I have never had this much fun playing music for church before. Heck, we even rocked an amazing version of "Open The Eyes Of My Heart" last night, which had heretofore been one of those songs that I kind of don't look forward to playing. Many nights I finish playing and my hands are shaking because it was just so... powerful. Thank you God!
3) I had an amazing summer of hiking. EJ and I had a few hikes together, and it was great. I was pretty sad to have him leave to go back to SLO after summer. I was able to do Half Dome at night, Hetch Hetchy, and Berry Creek Falls.
4) I saw my parents in October, I will see them again in a couple days, and I am flying to Idaho for Christmas. That's a wonderful thing! I miss them like crazy.
5) This last weekend I was in Mr. Drew and Stephanie's wedding, and it was an honor to be a part of it. They are not only cool individuals, but easily one of the most fun couples to be around. I had a great time with the rest of the wedding party, and all my friends that were there for the wedding and reception.
So those are the big things I guess. I still feel like I am in limbo for the most part, though I am thankful that I am not going through any hardships. Music has definitely been my saving grace, as well as spending time outdoors. Aaaaand I am out!
