Hello

Heyo ive been away from writing for a while but i think i may start back up again, it is a good way to talk things over in ones head.
I have a new lady, she is laura. She is amazing, she is a perfect person, well as close to perfect as you can get. anyway she is wonderful!
Since the last time I wrote I am a little older, not much wiser, but a more complete person I think. I am probably going to do some Guitar work as my drumming is going well, I want to branch out and become a better guitarist too. I want a job, well a better job then I have now.
See you around
Peace out

Hiya well a lots has happened since I last blogged, I am a little older, a little wiser, but most importantly, i have felt like crap. I don't really know how to say it another way, I don't really know why I am saying it, but i suppose that one day it must leave my system. In all honesty I have felt bad, and majorly low, but i don't know how to vent it, through anger?, frustration?, I don't know, its no mistaking that the last few months have been hard. I have found comfort in as few people so thank you, you know who you are! Particularly when it comes to walking, watching football, bloke stuff and also biblical verses,
for example

Jeremiah’s Complaint

7 O Lord, you misled me,
and I allowed myself to be misled.
You are stronger than I am,
and you overpowered me.
Now I am mocked every day;
everyone laughs at me.
8 When I speak, the words burst out.
“Violence and destruction!” I shout.
So these messages from the Lord
have made me a household joke.
9 But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord
or speak in his name,
his word burns in my heart like a fire.
It’s like a fire in my bones!
I am worn out trying to hold it in!
I can’t do it!
10 I have heard the many rumors about me.
They call me “The Man Who Lives in Terror.”
They threaten, “If you say anything, we will report it.”
Even my old friends are watching me,
waiting for a fatal slip.
“He will trap himself,” they say,
“and then we will get our revenge on him.”

11 But the Lord stands beside me like a great warrior.
Before him my persecutors will stumble.
They cannot defeat me.
They will fail and be thoroughly humiliated.
Their dishonor will never be forgotten.

12 O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
you test those who are righteous,
and you examine the deepest thoughts and secrets.
Let me see your vengeance against them,
for I have committed my cause to you.
13 Sing to the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
For though I was poor and needy,
he rescued me from my oppressors.

14 Yet I curse the day I was born!
May no one celebrate the day of my birth.
15 I curse the messenger who told my father,
“Good news—you have a son!”
16 Let him be destroyed like the cities of old
that the Lord overthrew without mercy.
Terrify him all day long with battle shouts,
17 because he did not kill me at birth.
Oh, that I had died in my mother’s womb,
that her body had been my grave!
18 Why was I ever born?
My entire life has been filled
with trouble, sorrow, and shame.

I don't know why it is comforting, maybe its because my life is not as bad as his even though it feels like it sometimes, also because of verse 11, its like my dads bigger than your dad stuff, God is our protector, he is our father and also our comforter, he comforts us in new ways everyday, not only by direct chat but through other people, and a huge thank you for the verse and any subsequent verses that may come my way!

Also thank you for reading this, feel free to leave a comment, in fact feel compelled.

Anywho Peace out

Ray mears!!!!

I remember many years ago when i was a lad,
"Twas my first day at Halesowen college and later at UNIVERSITY also. The tutor decided to play one of those annoying ice breaker games whicheveryone dislikes but goes along with because they feel they have to. the game was you are lost on a desert Island and you have to pick one other person to be with you, who would you pick? well the thoughts which went through my head were amazingly complex, do you say your girlfriend, a member of your family, a fat guy so you can eat them if food is in short supply, But I chose RAY Mears! He is a survival expert and he rocks."
A peon said "whose ray mears?" what a fool was my reply how can somenone not know who Ray Mears is, However i did explain and it was all good.

Maybe I should have chosen Jesus maybe i should have stood up for my faith, but in thinking this and feeling guilty i suddenly thought.
I do not have to choose Jesus to go with me to a desert Island because he chose me, No matter where i go however LOST i feel Jesus is always there supporting me.

I wrote a song not so long ago when i felt down, it goes like this-

Fragile
Delicatly placed, so precious to hold more valuble to me than warmth in cold, tightly cluthed into my chest, keep it safe nothing but the best, This way up make sure its safe, put exactly in its place, placed in a boxkeep it for a while, because my life to me is so fragile

Its so fragile

Helplessly left nothing to loose, by myself trapped in a world of blues, nobody cares bout what offerings i bring, by myself im left to sing, read the manual directs where to go, a real life to you i'll follow, not looking back but seeking your smile, because my life to me is so fragile

its so fragile

Confidently step into that upper room, act like i am on top of the moon, pass the cup say not what i want to hear, asks why my life is so full of fear, shows me how to be honest with myself, to act like im poor not like i have much wealth, relise that i am so insecure, im held up by your miracle cure

miracle cure

Realise you hold me not my strength but yours, without you my fragile heart would be torn you called me to you, you have chosen me, you sent your son he has set me free!!

On sunday I was a little down because i missed an exam because they changed the date and I didnot realise and i do not know what i can do now. As i was listening to other peoplein the sharing time i was staring into space a i noticed i was looking through my 12" tom tom skin which is mirky because it has been played a lot and also it has two sheets with oil between them, anyway it is mirky it is difficult to see through and i realised that this is like our lives, sometimes we cannot see what is ahead clearly or see what lies ahead at all but we have got to be faithful to God because GOD is always Faithful to us, we need to trust that he knows best for us and what may seem strange coincidences are really GODINCIDENCES, No matter of the dark clouds which seem to hang above our heads, the sun is always shining!

Dont forget that.

SABIAN!!!

The title of the post is the make of my preferred cymbal manufacturer.
At the moment i am also looking for some Istanbul cumbals, they sound nice to.
Why have i wrote this?
I do not know why.

Last night, the young blokes from church went out to have a balti, it was good.
Also, My field trip went well. Tonight i am playing percussion for sunday's service.
that will be hard to fill beckys shoes despite them being a size 5. I think they are anyway, come to think of it are they? it is quite hard to guestimate peoples shoe size. It also doesnt matter.
Anyway becky is really good at the percussion, i have been listening to the things she has been putting in to the music, and i can only try to keep time and make my own sound, yet at the same time keep it consistant with the music which is played at the same time.

Jack is doing well on the drums, he has a natural talent (if you can say that hitting stuff with sticks is a talent) for drumming. This is good, so people be patient with him, he also has a lack of confidence which is really needless as he is in my list of top drummers of all time. If you want to see my list, leave a comment and i will add it onto my next post!

Anyway i have been reading my bible recently, and i have came across the verses which talk about gods armour, and to watch for the fiery darts of the evil one. This seems like we have all read it before and we dont really read into it but it sort of sits in the back of our mind. But it is something we need to be mindful of. We are often really vunerable in what we think we are strong in. The fiery darts analogy is good because it makes me think of not big sweeping blows, but little blows which gradually wear us down. It is like this often. W e generally find that we are more resistant to major blows as we have an immediate defence system, however the smaller blows seem to take us down slowly, wear us away while we dont really notice.

I have felt like this rercently, just drained of everything, like its just to much hassel to keep going, but it realy isnt. everything we do is very important, and it is because of the reason we do things. As long as our heart is in the right place, that is half the battle, the other half is to work constuctivly, by building each other up, by suppport mainly through prayer.

This probably doesnt make sense to people, but i have got it out of my system,

Peace out. Andy
