Blessed

Yesterday was a really good night. i opened for this guy named Wendell Kimbrough (who's a really good, and pretty talented guy btw) at Ebenezers Coffeehouse. It was also my first paid gig ever (only paid 4% of the tickets revenue, but hey, we all gotta start somewhere right? :c). Feeling extremely blessed to be able to write songs and be able to play then in front of people. Apperantly it was a sold out crowd at Ebenezers, so that was also really cool.

i was thinking today, that life would be a lot easier if i made a lot of money (not sure if its random or not), and then i got to thinking "yeah, it would definitely cause me not to worry". But then, that thought bothered me for a little while. i started thinking, why cant i stop worrying now? Also, why am i worrying now? What do i have to worry about? If i have put my life in the hands of an All Knowing, All Powerful God, why am i worrying? i then started to feel silly about that thought, and decided to just not worry today.

Looking back on my crazy life, and this crazy and amazing ride that i'm on right now, i'm realizing that i have always been taken care of. Even when i lived off of 300 bucks a month (which is a lot in many countries), i still have been able to eat every day, and live well. And i thank God for that. Anyways, so those are my thoughts for the day.

Thank you for the people that came yesterday to support me, i really appreciate it, its definitely easier when there's some people i know in the crowd. Thank you for showing me your love and encouragement. Tonight i will be in Rockville doing a set in an Arts Night. i am very excited for that, and am contemplating playing an entirely new set just cause its random. Is it cliche' to say i feel blessed? If it is.... whatever....

May we all see the blessings of God and give those blessings back to Him

Much Love,
