Since the advent of photobox, this may be the first time I've gotten on here and not had new friend photos.

I sometimes get on my Xanga to update and let that little part of the world know that I exist. However, I think my entry really summed up last semester well, so I decided to share it with you.

I love Jesus. AO has taught me so much, and there is yet so much that I need to apply from it. I was very happy to have served in the Sun. morning praise band for AO this last semester. Nathan Mace is an incredible musician. Trever in these last few weeks has been stellar on Wed. nights, though I do miss the all out corporate worship of the semester, but there is a season to everything. I got to help Damascus Road by playing bass for them this past friday, though I still have no band of my own, except Sun. morning praise band. I will serve wherever it will glorify God the most, but if I had my choice I think that I would prefer doing Wed. night praise band again, though I am not sure. I think Casting Crowns had a great start, that's what I'd choose, but it's not my choice. I have learned so much in AO that I wish that I could have applied in high school, but I cannot look back now, I have to learn to do it now in college. All those nights I did praise band for BAY, how awesome that opportunity was, but how much did I miss. We were singing "May the Words" last night at AO, I think it comes from a passage in Psalm, though I could be wrong. We played that many times in Youth, but it took untill last night for me to really be hit by the words. "May the words of my mouth/ And the meditations of my heart/ Be pleasing to you my Lord." Those words almost hurt they were so convicting. I am trying to concentrate more on what the songs are saying, than just singing them with passion. Oh, how I have learned to worship this last semester, and how awesome it was, and to know that it can only grow, I cannot wait. In the rest of my life, not really anything has changed. I'm glad for summer and I look foward to my cruise at the end of this month. I have had this thing for 1461 days. Wow.
