Aug. 18, 2008 - Guess I'm Still Learning
God and I have those moments sometimes. You know, the ones where I think I've got everything figured out to perfection so I try to take it into my own hands - and He lets me - and then it all blows up just brilliantly, and I go give it back to Him...apologizing yet again. I wonder sometimes why it takes me so long to get it. I mean, why can't I just trust Him? I go through so many times where I say I do, but then I get all worked up over something or I feel overwhelmed and I dramatize what is really very simple.
God says, "Trust Me."
Every question I've asked Him lately, every situation I've been in, when I've gone to God, that's all I've been getting. And my reply was always, I am! ...but if I was, then why did He keep saying that??? Because I wasn't. I was just being my prideful self and wanting to take things into my own hands. Why do we like to hurt? Why do we like drama so much? I really don't understand it. No drama is much better.
And God's been so sweet to me lately. You'll never in a million years guess who was at my concert Saturday night. So I'll tell you.
JESSIE DANIELS. No seriously. THE Jessie Daniels. Don't know who she is? Look her up here. One of my heroes. I opened for her when I was 12, and now, 4 years later, here I am opening for Denver and The Mile High Orchestra and she just happens to be dating one of the guys in the band. How crazy is that? We talked for awhile, and then after the show, she came over and encouraged me SO MUCH. I couldn't believe it. God is amazing. I'll post a picture soon. :):):):):)
Tomorrow is going to be a big day for The Five Project. Tutorials are starting back soon, and we're coming in with a bang! I'm so excited! The Five is really stepping it up. We've got over 10 people so far ready to be the difference. We're gonna take the school by storm. God's moving so incredibly! It's amazing, it really is.
Keep the band and me in your prayers as well. We're really trying to figure out what we're doing and who we wanna be. Details and things. I'm still working on vocal technique, but I've been feeling kinda weak lately, I need to start working out again. So yeah, thanks!
Oh...here's a picture to make you laugh:

Hey Danya!!! I though of you today and went to go send you an email but realized the one I have of yours doesn't work anymore. :( Anyway, if you could drop me an email I'd love to get "back in touch", I guess. :-D It's been sooooo long! What like, a year at least? It's nuts how time flies.
God bless you!!
Lots of Love, Jess
