| I am listening to this great song right now by Stabillo, and I thought why not write an entry. I know... random. But since I haven't written on here in a while I thought it might be a good time to take a moment and thrill you with my sprawling "brain thoughts".
Lately life has been blissful... there truly isn't much to complain about... I have thought about how good we have it in this country even if we don't feeling like we are worth something... I find myself rambling about pointless worries way to often... I am blessed! Period... I have a wonderful family who cares for me and friends to share life with. And a God who is everlasting...
There is so much I neglect on a daily basis... Especially my time spent with God... this is something I am trying to improve on. I don't desire reading enough and that's something I am also trying to do more of.
God has put so much around us that if we only thought a little deeper about our surroubdings and that fact that God has blessed us with all these wonderful things we might actually think of our selves less... I am not saying this so that you might think I am telling you this, I am merely stating that this is what I need do in my life... I think to much about my own well being... I am going to try an change that...
Anyway, Life is going good... Work is good, and I am gonna go back to School in Septemeber God wilingly...
I miss school...
I am writing more music... it's going okay...
anyway people keep on running "Wildly" after God...
God bless all...

| Oh were to begin... Well the last few weeks have flown by.. I must say, Christmas has come and gone, we have launched into a new year that is already well underway. 2007 is going be a good year. Looking back at 2006 I must say that it has been the hardest year of my life as far as lessons learned goes and so on and so forth. God has been good to me, even though sometimes I was too lost to figure that out. I have moved into a new place which I fell was orchestrated by God... The two guys I live with are really kool, and I have actually live with one of them already my first year in school. So that is good to be back under the same roof. God has blessed me with good friends who are ever so thirsty after God's love...It's great to see everybody walk with Him. Friends I just want to say that no matter what happens in our lives God has such intense purpose for all things and He always has an outcome for things even when we can not see that outcome. The Lord's outcome is divine and very inspirational and GREAT!! AWESOME
He knows what is best for each and every single one of us. And believe this... He knew even before time began...
Lord you are my stronghold
Jesus you are my bridge
I will beseech you all my days
God is my morning, afternoon and night.
He is all that is good and all that is to come...
Keep us safe Lord, You are our Blessed Hope...
AMEN
His,
-DAN

Life, and all it Encompasses...
I can say that this last week has been great... The weather has been pretty nice and the morning air has been great. My daily routine seems to work for me right now...I do my thing to get ready in the morning..by thing I mean shower and shake my head back and worth to style my bush of hair...Then I go on to prepare a smoothie in the Ole Bullet curtesy of my sister for my b-day...def putting this present to max use... then I head to work 30 minutes early to prepare myself for the day ahead (this is really just a time I like to brainstorm strategies for my day of sales)... Meh.. who knows when I will change that routine ...change is good.Perhaps I will add strawberry to my smoothie instead of bananna... ooooo I have been spending a good amount of time "searching for God knows what"... heheh literally... I love the way I dream at night... my dreams have been so vivid my whole life... In fact if you have been a blog reader of mine you would have read some of my dream experiences over the course of time... Although my writing isn't that great, I have tried to express my dreams in writing... Not all my dreams are easy to explain...
Anyhow the God thing... I love talking to God in the mornings when I just wake up... it's like a little Q & A time for me about my dreams... Sometimes He helps me see the meaning of my dream, and other times I go to work pondering all day... I have decided I am going to start an extensive "dream journal"... I think this is necessary right now... God has shown me to seek first His Kingdom in a dream the other night... Even though... "man" (by man I mean "me") always desires ones own wants and needs. I am gonna try hard to seek first His wants in my life... Who knows perhaps that guy has something awesome planned for me eh... heheh jk... I know God takes care of all things and that He is in control of all things.. He loves me and that is enough for me... I know what He has for me now and that is to seek Him... Then the rest will come... I mean I know some things... like going into ministry and music... But as far as other stuff goes I am pretty stommped... hehehe aren't we all... wow... I need coffee...maybe not... Perhaps just a cold glass of H2O....
One thing I have learned over the past couple weeks is not to hold onto to things or desires unless God is prompting me to seek such things/feelings/desires... you know... Not to be hurt for too long... and I don't mean live cold heartedly but remember God heals our hearts and He forms and molds us daily to who He wants us to be... therefor when we are hurt... by all means cry,vent, be angry... but we must...we absolutely must keep walking in His direction... "keep on Keepin on..." This is something I live by now... Life isn't easy... heck if it was we'd all be at the movies sipping coke all the time... But realistically we are Soldiers in the Lords army.. and therefor our lives are a battlefield... whether we like it or not... We are Christians... who said it would be easy... but we keep walking right... honestly correct me if I am wrong...
A heart for God is a heart for people... Love... I am sorry if this seems like a pointless ramble... but I am sure someone will understand this post... Keep on Keepin on...I love you guys... I know I am weird... sorry.... heheheh

Miracle -John d. Webster
I love the way you touch me, I'm so amazed
Your beauty speaks a thousand words,
And then it takes my breath away
You burn me up like fire,
And then you pour on me like rain
It's truly amazing, like a miracle
Chorus:
I see you in the sun that shines in the sky
I hear you in the sound of the oceans tide
I feel you in this gentle breeze tonight
I try to explain it,
It's a miracle to me
You can move my mountains, you can still my soul
You whisper to me like the wind, but it shakes me to the bone
Your Spirit takes me far away, but I feel just right at home
It's truly amazing, like a miracle
Chorus
Truth be told
I just wasn't one for miracles
Let's just say I've changed my view
Cause loving you I've been awaken
The earth starts quaking
I'm blown away I'm overtaken
By the miracle, the miracle of you
I see you in the sun that shines in the sky
I hear you in the sound of the oceans tide
I feel you in this gentle breeze tonight
I try to explain it
I just can't contain it
It's truly amazing
It's a miracle to me

| A nEw soNg BrEWinG...
So I came home tonight and felt very inspired to write... I guess I get these song writing spurts sometimes.. but I must say they don't happen often and when they have happened in the past they haven't been very successful, however tonight's "spurt" was different... I said okay I am going to try something totally different and actually write the lyrics and do the music for the song at different times... normally for me at least when I write a song it just comes out as I am playing and then I write the lyrics down modify them and that's it... But this time I think I am going to try it a different way... Play it... figure out the sound I want then add lyrics... So if that makes any sense to any of you "I am writing a new song"... God is awesome guys/gals... He has just poured out this sound to me tonight that just makes me so happy...it melts melistening to the music made me just praise Him silently while hearing the guitar rumble... mmmm I am sure what needs to be said in this song... Once the lyrics are written and added to the song I will reveal it to all who like my music...I can assure you that it's going to be nice! On a side note I just realized I drank four liters of water in a period of five hours hahah... That's crazy... I am going to have to "you know what" like a million times tonight... hehehheAnyhow FriendsThis brings us to the end of an awesome weekend... It was a great weekend...sortof a milestone in my life, and it was spent with a great bunch of people... thanks friends... I actually just needed to express that to you all tonight because I feel like this is going to be a beginning of a new time in my life... A new season is brewing...and a new song...hehehehStay tuned!your bro in Him-Dan | | |
| I haven't update this Xanga in a bit... I guess I just haven't had a whole bunch I felt writing about. I want to say though that last weekend was awesome and thanks for party guys... it was great... I never would have thought that people would throw me a party. We it was for both me and my sis... but still it was for us by friends... You guys are great.
Other then that I have been working at my new job for just over a month and a half now and it's been a great experience thus far.. I must say I am enjoying it. I turned 21 yesterday and well... I don't feel much different then I did the day before... I guess age hasn't really effected me over the years. I don't really think about being older it just happends. I just want to say that I am very thankful for the 21 years of life I have been able to live and that God is amazing and that He has blessed me with an great family whom I love dearly. He has blessed me with the love for music and the ability to appreciate it soooooo much. Just the fact that i live in Canada is so great... I mean i can't picture myself now in South-africa... like I wouldn't know what I'd be up too... I don't even know if i would be a Christian if I lived there.. I dunno that for sure but like I said I don't know what life would be like if I lived there and never came to Canada... I am thankful that God has plans for all things and all people... And I am were I am today because God has a reason for it... He is the author and I am merely a character in His plot.
peace.
