Musical Mondays! (Maybe)

          Believe it or not, I'm a bit scatterbrained. By that, I mean that I often leave out important details and sometimes have trouble following through with things. With that, I completely left out one of my biggest passions when I wrote the post about myself! Music connects me with the whole world, and most importantly, music connects me with God in a very special way. Through no merit of my own, I have been gifted with a beautiful voice that I love to worship God with. Due to some long-lasting anxiety issues, my public performances have been few and far between,

but I am working daily toward a place that will enable me to change that. I would absolutely love to go into a career that would let me bring the good news of Christ to people through music, but if that's not God's plan for me, that's okay because God's plans are always better than mine!

          The purpose of this post is to inform you all that I might be starting a weekly post dedicated to Christian bands and artists! This was inspired by a youth conference I went to a few weeks ago, where the worship leader was the totally awesome, completely humble, and adorably hilarious Phil Stacey! He spoke at a couple of our breakaway groups, and hearing him talk about the Christian music industry was really insightful. He talked about how people can be drawn into the music without hearing the message of Christ, and how the artists themselves can lose sight of their faith when they get a taste of fame. 
          The only hang up on this weekly posting thing is that my schedule changes so frequently that sometimes I don't get a chance to write when I want to write, so it might end up being a bi-weekly thing, or everything might go as planned and there will be no purpose for this post. Either way, keep an eye out for my first article, dedicated to Phil Stacey himself!
