Summer

Summer is always an exciting time... This summer is no exception... There are many things I plan to do and have already been doing since my summer started the second week of May. I don’t want my summer to be full of nothing, especially because I have no job right now. I want to be very productive...

I have started writing. Charles Lee once said, “what if we gave time to our dreams, passions, or desires.” Really that’s what it takes. There is always much talk in our world about things we want to do or plans we have; yet that is all it is, just talk. Well one of my biggest dreams is to write music and sing around the world. I don’t know if that will ever happen but if that is what I want to do it needs time dedicated to it, writing, arranging, and listening. I pretty much spend about 4 hours a day at church 3 or 4 times a week reading and writing and submersing myself in writing music. As of now I have three solid songs that I am really proud of and hopefully more will be birthed as summer goes on.

It’ll be nice to dedicate some time to Converge. Next week Aaron finishes teaching and Adam has the summer off. It’ll be nice to be able to plan some stuff out and maybe work on some ideas, who knows, but since we have the time why not.

Soon Emily will be back as well and we can pick up where we left off... Summer is looking good...

More thoughtful posts to come, as I read the bible more and engage with passages and people things will surely come out, I just have to organize all that is in my head...
