Songs have been coming at me faster than I can get them down on paper, almost. In about a week's time, or less, I've written 4 songs. Of course, I can only give God the credit for giving them to me. It amazes me sometimes that God can still use me, after all my failures. Sometimes I feel like a great big disappointment to God, sort of like you feel when you let your parents down as a kid? But we ALL make mistakes, slip up, stumble, fall, and then we can still ask God to scoop us up, dust us off, and put us back on our feet. Amazing, isn't it? I put the chords down on the piano, but last night I picked up my guitar, which I hadn't done in MONTHS, and put one of the songs I'd written to the guitar, and it was just WOW. I'm not tooting my own horn by any means, and I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea when I talk about the songs I've written...like I said before, God gives them to me, I just physically write them down....I'm just saying that I get chill bumps sometimes when I play a song that God allowed me to write. I just say out loud, "Wow!" I really can't begin to describe how I feel when I know it comes from God. I am going to try and record them at church, even though I know it won't be high quality. At least I will have SOME recording of the songs in case something were to ever happen to me. I don't know how to actually write the notes, and I don't want these songs to be lost forever, ya know? Plus, Michael seems to think that if I write too many songs at once, I'm going to forget how the last one went.

The shower is calling, and so is the piano, so I'm outta here!
