I Serve A King & One Year Later

This past weekend I spent time recording "I Serve A King" with a few of my friends! There is something about music that is therapy for me. It was long (8 hours to be exact) but fun! "I Serve A King" was the first song that I wrote, and is dear to my heart. For more, see below...

I'll be vague on purpose. "I Serve A King" was written about 1 year ago when I found myself in a heartwrenching situation at my church. There was dishonestly in the atmosphere, people were torn & some made hasty, uninformed decisions. I was one of them. A good friend of mine felt impressed of the Lord to tell me to write a song about everything that had been going on leading up to and during the event. The Lord drew me to His Word. "I Serve A King" was written out of the book of Nehemiah. Scripture speaks of the walls of Jerusalem, how after their repair, their latter glory was great than the former. The Lord put this song on my heart, and in 20 minutes, "I Serve A King" was born.

For me, it's a song of Hope. No matter what, the Lord is still Holy. He is still worthy. He mends broken walls and restores them better than before. Look to Him. Trust the Lord. He is so Good. So Faithful. At times, we're tempted to look and follow people. I encourage you to look to, and trust in the Lord alone.

Good things came in pairs...

Today was freaken rediculous. Re-di-cu-lous. There are busy days, and then there are days where I contemplate taking up drinking more than other days. I had, and still have, a relatively small mountain of stuff to do at work before Sunday, a huge move Saturday from my old house to my new home, recording, duties at home, and my super-cool blog to keep up with. I think it goes without saying that I will sleep well tonight. However, this truth didn't keep me from wanting to pull most of my hair out today. Then, on top of all of this, facebook gives me this:

Seriously? After the day I've had, I can barely spell my name, much less "pesticides sealants". 3 tries later, I entered it correctly. Success. It's a small victory, but I'll take it.

However, today wasn't all bad. I think that the Lord gives us hope if we'll look for it. For me, good things came in pairs. Lunch with Jacob today at Bistro Bironz (which I highly recommend), and Starbucks right now. I'll tell you, there's nothing quite like a Toffee Mocha Frappuccino to bring closure to one's day. 420 calories. 13g of fat. 270mg of sodium. 69g of sugar. AND IT'S ALL WORTH IT. Shoot, I may not finish it all after reading the nutrition fact, but I definitely deserve this!

To close, I leave you with this: everyday may not be a walk in the park, but we can walk every day with Jesus. Even at its worst, we still have hope in Him. I don't know where this blog finds you, but take heart!
