control

Are you a control freak? Do you have to know every little detail about something, just because?

While being a control freak may be a bad thing, there is something that you should know all the little details of and have complete control of: your body.

Your tongue for example is extremely dangerous simply because words can tear things down in an instance, not mater how long they've been standing.

You CAN control what comes out of your mouth...but do you choose to control it?

But I don't mean just physical, tangible parts of you, emotions are also in need of control.

Anger, sadnesss, opinions, ideas, and many others all have their place, but it's up to use to use your brain and common sense to determine when these should be let loose.

new year new changes

Change is good.

Believe it or not, it's also needed.

To get stuck in a routine of the way it 'used to be' or 'because it works' or 'because its always been this way' is a dangerous viewpoint.

If you're not open to change, how can you draw closer to God? If you're not open to change how can God use you? Wouldn't you actually be limiting God if you never allow Him to do anything different than the norm through you?

Its only 7 days into the new year, and I'm already feeling and seeing changes. The XLR8 worship for instance, will be traveling and leading worship with P. Cornell. I'm going to be playing the synthesizer in addition to keys, which isn't something I have a lot of experience in, but I'm willing to learn.

Brendan and I have have scrapped out FAF short film in favor of a new topic, which if we can pull it off should be AMAZING.

I challenge you, make a resolution for this new year to simply be open to change
