This past weekend was a whirlwind of events for me.  I was coming off of a majorly awesome week of events and felt amazing.  On Saturday afternoon my band, Spoken For, played for the Special Olympics at our towns Covered Bridge Festival.  It was a lot of fun.  On Sunday morning, we played worship music for the New Life Lutheran church.  It is so worthwhile to use the talents God has given me for His purpose.  It makes this temporary world so much more fulfilling to live in.

One of the songs that I sing is entitled, “Never Gonna Steal My Joy” and it discusses how circumstances and events in this life will happen, but we have the real love of Jesus Christ and therefore, nothing in this world is going to steal our joy. 

When we step away from ourselves and look at the bigger picture, the troubles and tribulations of this life seem miniscule and unworthy of our worry. 

I am thankful for each new day and what discoveries await me. 

When you have a goal and you do what it takes to accomplish it, nothing seems impossible after that.
