I haven’t posted in a long while, hey? I suppose I’ve been so busy ranting about the church in class that I haven’t had time to let the internet world know where my head space has been as of late. I also don’t work in an office anymore, so my free time is less.

I am in the process of trying to figure out what the next year will bring me. The Institute is coming to a close and my options are just beginning to come to the surface. I am however hoping for an internship under a worship pastor to gain even more hands on, practical worship experience.

Since I’ve been here in St. Stephen, I have written around eight new songs, and another one is in the works. Two of them are accessible worship songs, some are less accessible worship songs, and the others focus on relationships and family. Once I have better MP3 recordings I plan on posting some of them on my blog so you can have a listen.

In other news… God has really been impacting me with the churches call to take care of the poor, widow and orphan. I do not know what that is to look like in my life, however, my heart continues to grow in that area and I see aiding the poor in both poverty and poor in spirit in my future. I have also become antsy to travel. I have a deep desire to go and live in other places for around a year, just to have the experience under my belt and once I am ready to make roots, move back to Minnesota to remain close to family.

I suppose that is about all I’ve got for now. Check back later, and hopefully I will update you more!
