Stuck in Neutral
Reading old entries in my journal is a little wierd sometimes. I used to update rather frequently but then after I got married and life got busy I pretty much only used it for promoting South Bay Bessie shows. That door has closed for me so I think I am going to try to get back to writing about life.
I feel like I am at a crossroads in my life. I had felt like God has been telling me that it was time to leave the band so I could be available for the next thing that He has for me. Honestly, knowing that God was in the situation made it easier to give up my baby. So know I am just waiting to see when the next train is coming and what it looks like. (How's that for cliche'?)
In the meantime, I am trying to make the waiting a little less painful. I had some songs written and recorded. Just me and my acoustic guitar, so I am going to do some shows for fun. I am going to try to schedule shows around life this time as opposed to life around shows. Also, Lisa and have more responsibilty in Young Life this year. It's been great to invest in kids lives in the most positive way I can think of. I would lvoe for this to turn into a job but again, I wait.
The problem is that I can think of a milion things I would love to do as a job. I want to be a writer, a poet, a filmmaker, a teacher, a minister, a record shop owner, a coffee shop owner, and of course a profession musician. I have always been the kind of person that indulges crazy ideas on a whim for a short period of time. I have always figured the ones that stick with me the longest are the keepers. So this time I am going to try to wait patiently and try to listen for that still small voice before jumping into things too quickly.
So I wait...
P.S. check out South Bay Bessie Dec 22nd at Alvin's in Detroit w/ P.T.s Revenge! New line-up. Good luck guys!
