I forgot

I forgot I have a blog.
I actually forgot.
I actually realize too that really no one is reading this except for me so that is fine too. I just have had a busy few weeks. I have some new things brewing in my mind, i have been busy enjoying the weather and I have been playing my guitar and writing songs and praying to the LORD. I have decided that I need to pray more. I LOVE GOD I love talking to God and i have this recent fire to just scream at the top of my lungs that I love JESUS and i want everyone to know him and His awesome love. I am super excited too becuase i just read the coolest book by Brian Head Welch. I LOVED him (or a least his guitar playing because well I dont know him personally although in his book i have to say he sounds like a really amazing person) but i loved his guitar playing in Korn and I loved Korn when i was younger, I used to feel like Korn could play what i felt inside if that makes sense. Anyway I partied and was wild and was lost and crazy and did things my way and went the wrong way and messed up my life until 2001 ish when i met Jesus personally, anyway Head wrote a book that was awesome it BLESSED me to read it. It is called Save me From Myself (I like the title because I believe God is with us calling us to him we just ignore him and thus go on our own way, we literally have to be saved from destroying oursleves and God wants you to be saved! Saved from what you say? okay that will be a next topic in the meantime John 3:16) well, it meant alot to me that he would share his story that is so personal but @ the same time he shared it to glorify God and i know many people will be reached for God through Head's story which is really a story about God's aweomse power love and saving grace becauase God gets the glory from all of our stories. If anyone besides myself happens to read this than please walk, no run and buy his book it is a good read, especially if you were/are a Korn fan. It is honest. I think alot of people who dont know God feel like Christians are not honest. Well alot of times we people are not the best representatives of who God is. This is different because it is honest and open. It was just really inspiring and reminds me of the power of God.

Head said something interesting in his book, that many Christians today dont appreciate or understand the power of God. It is true! what dos it truly mean to be a christian? i do not believe that going to church makes you a Christian., Just like i told someone the other day, it is not going to church, it is having a PERSONAL relationship. that is something that has recently only recently become a truth in my life where it moved from head knowledge to heart knowledge in my life and i love it. I love Jesus and what he did for me! Like i was telling my friend, Jesus is better than punk rock. he is no milk toast wimp, he is hardcore radical awesome lover of my soul. he fought for what is right and unpopular, yet forgives and loves too. How can i put Him in a box with my words? We have to do the same in our walks! He is God in the flesh, like Collossians 1:15-16 says, (to paraphrase) that He is the visible representative of the invisible God. God in the flesh.

God come down. He rescued me. He pulled me out of the muck and the mire that i had made my life. i PRAY that my life will be able to glorify him.

I praise him for saving me, and others. I praise him for the work he does. i love him with all my being and want to grow closer to him every day.

On a side note went hiking today through the desert and there is this one particular area i come to on this dirt road as it winds up the hill and I just think of when in the bible it says if we didnt worship God even the rocks would cry out,

Amen to that.
