Out of the dark and into His light...

I have thought so much lately about going back to school and getting my music recorded. My talks with God are becoming more and more... Lately I have been discussing a few things with my Maker about life and what that encompasses... I know that this year of my life has it's reason for being the way it is...why all is happening the way it is and so on and so forth. I have met some amazing people this year whom have been great to me. My sister is awesome and she has such a strong heart after God... She has been a huge encouragement to me over the last couple of years.
Others I have met and have become friends with are amazing too. WOOOOT
Life is good needless to say with all that is going on right now... Work is going well and I kinda live alone for the time being until I get a new roommate. We will see how that will work out when time comes.
I wrote an song a bout a month ago or so and it primarily talks about sharing a dream... I think too often we have thoughts or ideas or things that hinder us or things that excite us that we don't share with anyone.. we just keep it to ourselves and I have realized over the last few months that it's so important to share things with God... just literally tell Him everything although he probably already knows... It's just great to say "hey God I don't feel very good" or "God.. why is my arm hurting"... those are just lame examples.. God is more sovereign than we think... I know that telling Him things that are important to us... is so great. Then aside from telling the Lord and laying things at His feet we also have the "body" whom we should share things with... "problems, pains, praises, etc..." I have learned that when we keep things in the dark we are going to struggle hard my friends... It's then, when we don't talk about things that our mind manifests it's own ideas about certain things and twists and turns them until the enemy gets a hold of our deepest secrets. It feels pretty bad when you don't feel like you can talk about something with anyone...
Don't let your thoughts or feelings stay bottled up.. Share them...live them
Share your dreams with others...we are an encouraging body of Christ. Share your dreams with God.
He always listens. He is AWESOME...GOD IS AWESOME!

His,
-Dan

Life and things....

This Last month has been interesting...I have been working at my new job now for a little over a month and I really enjoy it.. the people I work with are awesome and really great. I work with a whole bunch of people from other cultures so when we gather to eat at break we all share foods. It's great... mostly it's been a lot of Indian food which I am in love with. I would say that Mexican food and Indian food are two of the greatest cuisines ever known... at least to me that is.
My grandparents have returned home now and are safe. My dad has also returned safely from taking them back home. This gave him a chance to visit his mother and some of our other family. I think he really enjoyed it. I am thankful that he is safe and back here with us now. South-Africa is not the greatest place when it comes to the safety of the ones you love dear. I pray everyday for my cousins and family still there. Our God is Sovereign and He is in control over all. This I believe whole heartedly.
I want to start looking at some more recording options for a CD soon... Like maybe start working on putting a few songs together that are solid and then recording them as a sortof Demo or something. That would be fun...
My shoulder is starting to heart again... I dunno if you know the story behind "Death Arm" but there is one... I discovered a poem I wrote about my arm last year... and well I think "Death Arm" is still alive.

"Death Arm"..

by: Me the body (Dan)

He is my arm and he is dying. He hurts so much and throbs all day. He is sad and frankly, he does not know what to say. If he had a face, he would have tears rolling down it and if he had a mouth he would say bad words, hurting the stomach. However he is only my arm and he aches day in and day out. Please support him with love and care, Maybe even a prayer. He is my arm and he is throbbing, if he had a brain he could possibly be sobbing. Instead he has me, the body that holds him dear. For even with all the pain I love him sincere. Soon we will go to place, were his pain will be fixed. But right now we wait and we wait. We wait becuase we know, That the hand that molded us will fix us, the ultimate restoration will soon be agian. He is my arm and I love Him to bits!

Not much is going on in my life other then work, music and fellowship... God is ultimate and He is strong. And it is when I am weak that the Lord is my strength.

Always and forever...
His,
-Dan
