Yo.

Today has been really good. Dave and I did a bit of shopping, met Jon for lunch, then got some stuff ready for the Youth Event we were involved with tonight.

Tonight totally rocked. It was part organized by Dave's team and was all about Worship. I played Guitar and sung, along with Dave, Heather (Dave's team leader) and a couple of other guys playing bass and drums. It was really cool, we never played together before, I flew a few duff notes in for good measure (hehe) but it rocked.

The whole evening was rock. Heather spoke about how worship isn't just singing, that it's out lives, lived every day, offered up to God. I really want my life to be pleasing to God. I know sometimes I do and say stuff that isn't. I want to throw off that stuff and live for Jesus. Right now I'm so ready to go for it. There's stuff God's working out in me, I know that He's doing good things in my life and I feel like I'm sort of pointing in the right direction. I need to seek Him about my future, and I am, but I'm also really wanting to enjoy now, to live for Him now. God is so amazing, it blows my mind how much He loves me, how much He's done for me and how faithful and full of grace He is toward me.

So tonight was good. I feel good. I feel happy and I feel like I'm breaking through lots of stuff in my life which has been holding me back, wrong attitudes, all kinds of stuff, and it's good.

I want to keep typing to tell you how I feel and how excited I am about all kinds of stuff and how good tonight was but I'm limited by words. Some things are heart felt, not easily rendered my words.

Here are some good words.

I Was Lost (Like a Child)

I was lost without a trace,
All except for the eyes of heaven.
Now my Savior’s love has found me,
And His love has brought me home.

I can sleep in peace tonight,
I won’t worry about tomorrow,
Now I know my Daddy loves me,
And His perfect love will conquer all.

I’m like a child in His eyes,
And He will meet my needs
With all the riches of heaven;
And he loves me much too much
To let me go,
He will keep me in His love.

Heaven and earth may pass away,
And mountains fall into the ocean;
But His word is everlasting,
And His love goes on and on.
