The 1,000,000 Project

"I couldn't worship You without You
I've got nothing I could give
You have poured Your grace out on me 
so I can join the million in the song that praises You."

     "What is the 1,000,000 Project about?" You might ask. From the very beginning of this album I start with the simple fact that apart from God I am incapable of living the way that He has called us all to live. The birds sing tunes to Him, the stars shine for Him, and angels are constantly celebrating who He is, but me.... I can't join in this epic party apart from Him, but He has made a way and that way is through Jesus Christ our Savior. The way is not by our own hand or our own works no matter how good we want to imagine them. Scripture tells us that our righteous deeds are like filthy rags to God. We're gonna need something much more valuable than filthy rags. 
    The album speaks of hope this wonderful hope that we have in Christ, that He is enough to join the party. He is enough to join the celebration of who God is. He is enough for us. He fixes our brokeness and enables us to live life as we were meant to live it, glorifying Him. 

There's hope here for those that have been bogged down by regret
there's hope here for those that face challenges in life
there's hope here for the lost that are trying to do more good than bad
there's hope here for those in bondage
there'e hope for us in Christ

He makes beauty from the messes that we make
He is with us through lives challenges, even when life gives us it's best shot He is there
He is our only claim to righteousness and He truly is good. 
He sets us free

"He painted a million stars across the sky
The sun and moon that give us light
and He makes us
He makes us something beautiful!"

If there's anything that's stressed me out lately

It's V-CITY

     Lately I've honestly wanted to give up on it, but recently I was reminded by God that I shouldn't count myself out. Still though, there's that part of me that's just like how can I get out of this hole I'm in. I'm missing the light at the end of this tunnel. Sure I have gigs lined up, but I don't have a band. Or should I say I don't have a drummer, which is super frustrating. I'm find that I'm super insecure about my music lately too. 

SQUIRREL!

 I did upload the new album the 1,000,000 Project for those of you that don't know! There have been so many technical difficulties with that album that have stressed me out sooooo much, but it should be on iTunes and many other music websites by the 23rd of march. 

     Back to what I was saying.

   I guess I feel like this just isn't my year. Ever since the band broke up it's just been hard getting back on my feet as a musician, but even though I feel like giving up I know I can't. This really isn't something that I'm willing to give up. I know that I'd be miserable if I did eventually. Maybe I just need rest.. I don't know what's gonna happen, but I think I am going to just rest for a while after this year is over. Get my foot in the door somewhere leading worship and rest for a bit, or do whatever it is God tells me to do. I guess I'm just struggling to remember what the last order was or hear what the next order is, and I don't want to be in that place.
