| So before I finish doing what I need to do for tomorrow, I wanted to update. So i feel like I've almost come full circle w/ the whole moving thing. I went to the Bronx this past weekend for Thanksgiving. And although I didn't get to spend time w/ each person individually (which I would've loved) I felt like I never left. I played for my old church's Friday night service. The band and I played for 2 hours! Great experience. God was so there and so evident in that place. I wish I could've video taped it or took pictures or something. Very proud of the band that's taken shape over there and the people who've stepped up to lead those people in worship. I pray that they realize the responsibility entrusted to them and the commitment it takes.
And then I came home today. : ). We had a little young adults get together. We made some chicken fajitas/taco's and watched across the universe (I thought it was good but very trippy).
More than ever this Thanksgiving season I realized how faithful the Lord is. I was looking around on Thursday at my family and friends and seeing how God has taken us all through different trials and seasons and that we're still here! And He's so faithful. Even when we can't see it. And then seeing my new family here in VA tonight and realizing the gift that God has given me to be w/ these people and also be there for them.
I'm happy with everything. Can't see the end result...but I'm happy with everything. Look out for some new tunes before the new year.

| Well It's been some time now so I think I'll give an update.
So a few new things. I've been recording and writing quite a bit in recent days. Both on my own and on collaborations with Anthony Lugo himself. Looking forward to recording some acoustic renditions of these songs so I can at least copyright and put them on the internet.
Job wise, I'm looking at making a schedule change. I want to switch to graveyard shift so I can have a bit more time during the day to focus on other things. The sleep thing is going to be fun tho...So pray for me w/ that.
And also planning on moving in w/ some friends...(one way or the other) in the near future.
I also want to say that it is extremely evident that God is here and doing many great things in the midst of us. At church it seems like our worship services are going deeper and it's encouraging to see people who I never knew even a year ago pursuing the Lord so fervently. I am very excited about this.
So this is the part where I usually go on this 3 paragraph tangent about a random thought in my head...not this time. I will say this though.
Let's be found faithful.

| HEY! Life is good I'm happy with where I'm at. Um new things right? right.
I went from 10's to 12's in electric guitar strings. My guitar sounds like a shotgun right now. That's almost as heavy as my acoustic (13's...i'm looking at getting 15's for my acoustic...CRAZY!)
I lost 10 pounds!
And um...I learned how to crochet (Thanks Nadir)
So I've been on this tangent for a while in my mind, so I'd like to share it with you all. k?
I have a deep appreciation for things in the sky like stars, the moon, the sun, clouds, planets all that good stuff. Periodically I'll go out to my car to get something at night and I just look up and I have to stop and stare.
So I started thinking, how did all these rocks get into the universe? Even if there was a big bang, what caused it? Seriously?! What did it? Now I know every single person who's grown up in church has that saying in the back of their head, in their flair or on the tip of their tongue: "God spoke and BANG it happened"
That's not my point though. Then I started thinking what's to stop the earth from just falling...like through space? Yes I know there's no gravity to make it do that. But what the heck I can dream right?
And I came to the conclusion again that it's all by design...There's a Designer...an Artist...a Creator.
But that's not my point. Here it is.
I think there are so many things in life that are full of the evidence of God's glory and we pass them by. We take it for granted or we forget. Romans 1: 20 says
"For since the creation of
the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine
nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been
made, so that men are without excuse."
I just think when life is hard or annoying, we get so frustrated and maybe we freak out. But we just need to remember what's in front of us. That all of creation around us is full of the glory of God. All of it! For me that makes it so much easier to worship God. Some people see worship and this "Following of Christ" as a stab in the dark. While I see where this comes from, I wanna say that it's not such the case. God is as real as that piece of furniture you're sitting on. It's not a spooky, mystical thing. It's real life! It's reality!
So yea that's been my recent thought on God and life. Weird?
By the way pray for me. Life's good however.
1) I'm talking to my boss about being promoted/getting a raise tomorrow.
2) Right now I'm not feeling to good (physically)
3) Wisdom
Thanks I pray that each of you is seeking God in a totally new and fresh way that's spurring you on in Christ. It brings me so much joy to think of how many of you are growing in your faith and even though the world may throw every weapon it can at us, that we can still be encouraged and spurred on by our fellow believers.
Relentless,
David
