Ever since I started blogging on this site I wanted to have defined focus, a purpose for my writings. Thinking about it more, I realized that most of my writings I turn into songs. And most of my songs are about Christ.One of the things that I came to realize, a while ago, is that I don't even need to try and focus my writings on Him. He is what defines me; therefore, my writings will encompass my life with Him. In the past I would write countless stories in diaries about guys and my crushes. Then I discovered that the things I wrote were not my life, they did not at all define what made me, me. The thing that should define me is Christ in me.
I began to journal about what God was doing in my life. Long passages soon became more artistic. Then they turned to shorter poems that described events with unique detail. From there, some poems turned into songs as I began to play my guitar more. I would write, then look back on writings and with a chord progression in mind. Later, I put them together in a song. It was after I went through trials that I began to write songs; and I truly believe it is my struggle that allows me to sing. I sing because I know where I've been and I know that He carried me.
About 4 years ago, I suffered with schizophrenia and spent many days in a different reality. This reality was full of pain and discomfort, fear and despair. Going through all of this made me see how real Christ is to me. He literally saved me, and healed me of my disease. There were many fears that I faced and many battles that He won for me. I could not be more grateful to anyone but Him. I owe him my all, how could I not sing? How could I not tell about the glorious works that He has done?
