| so half the year pasted by and i am currently working as head of sound yet again. by God's strength i didnt quit lol. though alot happened like my mom buying me my utter most fav guitar haha and this and that. wow alot did happened within this year. spiritually i've been walking, falling, and then get back up with costly scars.
it is a tough battle. i have hope that God's plans do get revealed, but im afraid i might not be ready. rather God might execute and i wont notice.
i pray i will still be waiting on the Lord for instruction rather than doing my own thing

| well im media fasting right now so i figure, what would be the best thing now then to write my thoughts down?
this day was so spirit-filled in an awkward way i suppose. i've encouraged 3 brothers and sisters in the Word. also, i've told many on aim to media fast, and most respond i have gotten is either "well you're on aim!" or "i cant"
and so it begins. i told then what i learned on what fasting was.
to the ones who accused me on being in aim i explain "well first off im not accusing you of sinning or anything. rather im just encouraging you and reminding you that we should fast media. media is information. from tv to videos to news to music to people to even book there are informations out there. and this fast is about directing where the information is going. so pretty much you end the information that the world is giving you and you with that time you have not gaining information of the world, you gain information from God. you pray, you read the bible, you have a quiet time, you have a worship time, and when you gain the information from God then encourage you brothers and sisters.
and to those who "cant" i explained
this fast isnt just about not watching tv or whatnot. after fasting i learned that if you daniel fast and not pray, then you're just trying to become a vegan. if you do water fast and not pray, then you're just trying to lose weight. you see praying is the important and the most amazing thing, not water fasting 21 days. if you dont pray during the time you fast, then its just useless, especially in media fasting. if you cant really media fast, then at least give some time to pray or read the Word. at least you prayed.
hm. its amazing how God speak. oh right this reminded me. 1 of the 3 brothers i encouraged called me the market and asked me is there were any verses i knew in psalms that teaches about worship. i didnt remember much, but i did tell him about david and how david first understood that God needs to be worshiped like hallelujah (psalms 148) and that reminded me that the last 10 chapters of psalms had good reference on worship. also i reminded him that time when we worshiped in a big room, just the two of us, and it was just the most amazing time of worship we ever had. he told me that day that he never felt that before. so i explained that even king david didnt have instructions. when God's presence is there, one cannot help but to worship Him. and ultimatly i told his i dont know much about steps in worship because im not a praise leader or anything.
but what amazed me is that he chose to call be, before any pastors or any praise leaders in our church. it was a divine appointment.
more to come

| oh boy. i cant sleep. i couldnt get much sleepy time for a while now.
this year started with very high expectations for me. this year i became the head of sound in our church. it hasnt been even three week and i want to quit so bad! haha just working there is hard and things people do. i had it up to here *raises hand* with this nonsense. *if you cannot see my hand because it is too high, then you get the picture*
this year God said to be that i need to be a leader in this church. i know sound great, but i need to utilize what i know and what i do to build a system, with people, that makes sound work. but as i fasted a week, God told me to listen to my head pastor. do that, then i will understand the leadership skill that i need. (again with the listening ordeal. first God told me to listen to my "parents/guardian" then He will use me as a vessel, and now this. man its a good thing im a sound engineer; all i do is listen)
like Nehemiah, i know i have to use my position and risk everything i have in order to lead people to serve God through sound. after the church has this system, i know God will lead me to other things. and maybe He can finally say "yes" rather than "wait" on my prayer request i had as far as i can remember.
although i had it up to here *too tired to raise hand* with issues from work, and even if i had 3 hours of sleep and had to work on a concert the next day and then set up the sanctuary for the Sunday service every other week, and even if i really want to quit, i cannot. i shouldnt. i probably wouldnt. i must press on until God takes me off the hook.
i think our church lacks alot of things, both spiritual and logical. and maybe God can use a dude like me to straighten things out. or just to sound. i dont know. all i know is that God has called me to do this. and for now, this is my highest calling.
my prayer request for this year is to have the leadership skill necessary to build a system where people can join to serve God through sound.
also for the church to worship God like David. to use sound, lighting, dancing, painting, prophesying, praying, and shouting to truly worship Him. not just in "praise" but in everything.
did you know that light and sound is the same thing? its just that light is based on a much higher frequency than sound. sound freq range of our ears are 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz while color light or visual light for the human eye is 430 terahertz to 750 terahertz. so since we can use sound making things like our voice or clashing cymbals or strumming of the lute or pressing of the synthesizer, why cant we use things like par cans or moving lights to worship God? or why cant we draw or paint as worship to God?
i pray that our church and see this and hear this.
