do re me fa so la ti do

Most of you know I haven't worked in over a week. SUCK FEST. Although I have thorough distaste for my job, rather my job conditions, and I would prefer not to go back there. So please pray that I find a new position asap. In the meantime I have been singing. and singing. and singing.

This past weekend I sang for Spin 10, The Village's version of D-Now for Jr. High & High School students. It was so much fun. I haven't been around that age of kids for quite some time & I truly forgot how high energy they are. Granted, when I was that age, I wasn't that high energy. not even close. Thursday through Saturday night I spent at the Highland Village campus rehearsing and laughing with a bunch of doofus staff guys. It was awesome. Sunday I sang in Denton all four services then proceeded to yesterday when I lead with James Cole & Andy Zapata for Crew Quarterly, which all of you Denton losers missed. It was really good. the Dallas campus is beautiful and I understand now why they're having to figure out where they're going to put an additional service; the sanctuary is not that big.

I wrote a new song yesterday after reading through some Psalms. I wrote a chorus quite some time ago that was BEAUTIFUL. The problem was that I couldn't get past just the chorus. I had a pre-chorus that was okay, but I couldn't get any verses. So I took the general idea, the basic chord progression, and turned it into something better. It's so great, and once I completely finish it, record it, and send it to the worship staff, I'm sure you'll hear it somewhere. Maybe it will even be on The Village worship album.

On a different note, regarding the job junk. Last week I was reading Ecclesiastes 3. A time for this, a time for that. I thought, 'Ok God, I get that this is the time for me to escape my job.' I think we all have read Ecclesiastes 3 or at least heard of it. But how far into the chapter did you make it? I didn't know it past verse 8.

Ecclesiastes 3:9-13
9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to end. 12 I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live, 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil- this is God's gift to man.

God is faithful. He'll take care of it. And whatever purpose he has for me in this in-between, I trust that he's got my back. He'll take care of the financial stuff, the future stuff, the what-if stuff. I'm ok. Better than that. I've got the creator of the heavens & earth on my side. What do I have to worry about?

on a completely unrelated to anything note- yesterday I went to google something Jeff & I were talking about- I don't remember what it was but it started with 'why are'. The auto-predict on the google search bar in safari is hilarious. rather, the stuff people google is hilarious. I'm going to give you the top 5 predicted google searches that start with 'why are...'

WHY ARE....
1. black people so loud?
2. people posting colors on facebook?
3. yawns contagious?
4. the kardashians famous?
5. michael jackson's kids white?

and for a bonus,
6. why are there school?

yes you're reading it right. why are there school?

happy tuesday!

p.s. Denise, I'll post V-day pictures this afternoon... when I find my camera. LOVE YOU.
