All my Christian life I have wanted to be close with God. I am a very musical person and I have realized I connect with the Lord the most when playing music. I never want to play music for any reason but God. I've been in many bands and the reason they don't work is because more times than not God isn't the center. I, being a hardcore musician, find it hard to find Christian band mates. But God has called me to this and I know he will provide. I want to reach kids who would never set foot in a church. When I go to shows I see so many broken kids trying to fill up the void in there lives with so much junk. I just want to let them know that there is another option and it is Christ. Music helps me come close to God. I beleive it can do it for others too.

You Can't Be Kinda Christian
I've relized that people don't always treat others right. Hell, I don't even treat people right all the time. But I never go out of my way to make someone feel like crap or make someone feel unwelcome. As a Christian I love because Christ loved me. No matter what. I do my best to not let my emotions get the best of me. I don't always succeed, but I try. And without God I wouldn't even try.
Tonight the campus ministry I am a part of was doing an out reach. One of my friends was giving me a cold attitude. In fact I noticed this person has been giving me cold attitude since I dropped some stuff of to them and there roommates. That was the first time I saw them this semester. I'm not perfect. If I did something to offend someone and I don't know it, come to me and let me know and I will apologize. I never have any malicious intent with anything I said to this person. And all I've been met with is dirty looks and a cold attitude.
Breaking my arm was the best thing that ever happened to me. Why? Because it made me realize how selfish I am. Pride this time led to a literal fall and brokenness. God wants our hearts humble. It's about Him not us. And I am the first to admit that I need to be reminded of that daily. The gospel is not just for the non believer but for Christians as well. We need To preach the gospel to our selves every day.
I wish people would be more consistent. I wish I would be more consistent. And when someone is all smiles with everyone else and then they get all glaring at me, I feel unwelcome. It's not about us it's about Christ. And us Christians being hypocritical. This is my apology on behalf of Christians to anyone who has been hurt by hypocritical Christian. You're either Christian or not. You can't be kinda Christian.
