You Are Not Alone

Wow... It's been forever since I've posted on here. Things have just been so crazy and I have had like no time to do anything. Anyway...

I've been feeling really down lately, and I'm not really sure why. Some of it is just because I'm a little homesick, but the rest I just don't know. I think one thing is that I've been feeling really far from God lately. I just feel like I've gone off the path He has for me and gone down my own. I'm really trying to get back on track. I was reminded by looking at someone's Facebook about Misty Edwards and her music. I started looking up the lyrics to her songs, and they are so incredibly beautiful... I can't even explain how amazing they are. They are so simple and some only are made up of 3 or 4 phrases, but they are the most eloquent and powerful lyrics I have ever read. They just impacted me so much and made me want to write again. I stopped for a while because I was just getting frustrated because I couldn't figure out things on my guitar, but then it was like God put something in front of me and was like "Here you are!" It was wonderful. I just found something that helped me understand the notes on my guitar and it was just perfect. So now I'm playing my guitar a little bit every day and learning new songs and chords and things and it's wonderful. Now I'm back to the plan that I'm pretty God wants me to follow. I just feel Him calling me to be in the Christian music industry, and honestly, I'm pretty sure that's exactly where I want to be.

So all in all it's been a sad few weeks, but the past few days have been enlightening and hopefully things will start to get better. I want to end this post with the simple lyrics of Misty Edwards. I hope they inspire you the way they inspired me. :)

Light of Your Face by Misty Edwards


O Lord bless me and keep me cause Your face to shine on me

Lord be gracious lift the light of Your countenance give me peace

I live only to see your face so shine on me

Let the light of Your face shine down on my heart and let me feel it
