Check it out

Thought it was about time I did an update on this blogger. I hardly ever write anymore on here. I've been so busy with my online courses, with reading, with making music, listening to music, watching movies, hanging out with friends, going to concerts...it's just been a pretty crazy summer. I'm enjoying every minute of it. It's nice being able to serve God minus all the Towson University stress. Don't get me wrong, I'm blessed to be able to go to college and get a good education, and and get the opportunity to get a good job. It's just so much work, and sometimes it leads me away from the real center of attention being the Lord Jesus Christ. Anyways, I want to fill yall in on the music I've been creating. So this past month, I got this program for my computer called Fruity Loops. It's pretty cool actually, I can make beats and record my voice, the negative side is that my voice doesn't have the "professional quality" I desire it to have, and it annoys me because my lyrics are actually pretty good but it sounds amateurish because I don't have a 500 dollar mic. Oh well, I can use it to send demos to record labels, and maybe they'll let me use their professional studio which would be awesome! My music is actually very focused on Christ. I made one demo album so far, this album focuses on giving yourself up to God with all you are, and rejecting the world that we live in. I have songs that discuss my testimony, the significance of the blood, wanting to be like Christ, what it means to be truly dedicated, and much more. If you would like to hear some, let me know! I'll send you a sample via email. This demo album is titled, "Choose Him, not them". The next demo album that I'm currently working on now, is called Realizations. This is all about what it means to experience a true conversion. People don't seem to understand what it means to be captured by His grace. These songs talk about the importance of confession and forgiveness, living by the Spirit and not the flesh, serving a God more than just about the love, but about justice as well. I'm hoping this will reach out to a lot of people because I've basically taken sermons, put them into lyrics, provided a beat, and presto, I have gospel track with style (Lol).

On top of my music making, my mornings have been preoccupied with the gym and my online class work dealing with philosophy and sociology. Sociology is a piece of cake, the philosophy class on the other hand, would be great if the professor wasn't crazy! (lol). She just has ways of getting on my nerves, and apparently, she forgets it's a 101 course, not a 401. Enough about that stuff though, it's boring enough to simply do it. I am however interested in talking about some of the books I've been reading. There are 2 that really stick out in my mind, written by Frank Peretti, He's a christian author. The first one is called "This Present Darkness", and the second follows called, "Piercing the Darkness". It's a very interesting 2 part series that discusses the struggle of spiritual warfare, between angels and demons. He physically portrays both parties, and you can see them in the background working out the main characters (who of course can't see them as the reader can). It's very good, I highly suggest reading them.

I think that about covers most of my daily events. I'd like to add that I saw Lecrae a couple weeks ago, which was amazing. He was so active on stage, praising the Lord, and having fun. I was jammin out, rapping to all the lyrics, trust that. It was a good day (minus the 100 degree weather), but I persevered through it, and it was without question worth it. I'm looking forward to KB's new album, Weight and Glory, coming out next week, and Lecrae's album, Gravity coming out this fall. So much goodness all at once, then of course, the grand finale being the, I'm Unashamed Tour. Good stuff coming up! I've also joined a new Church, called, Abundant Life. They are pretty chill, I haven't met many people yet, but I'm sure after a couple weeks, I'll get to know more people. The only bad part about it is once I start going back to Towson, I won't be able to go there on Sundays for Church, but at least I have a good Church to attend during the Summer. I'd say the Lord is great! He has blessed me with so much of Him this summer, it was exactly what I was hoping for! Amen.
