Thankful for Band :)

This blog was tweaked. I originally typed "Thankful for Muscle Relaxers" but refrained from doing so, hoping to not offend my dear family member who has recently abandoned the use of most medicine. So I will refrain from telling just how much they are already relieving the somewhat unbearable pain lurking in most of my body from yesterdays activities. I just won't do it. So...


I'm thankful for band. Yes, I'm aware that most people refer to me as a nerd but it's why you all love me so read anyways :) 


Music has always been a huge part of my life. A year ago today, I was traveling home from my final State Marching Band competition with the Clifton High School Band. That could be a blog itself. Currently though, I find myself a member of the Goin' Band from Raiderland. Aside from marching, I've also been involved in countless other music programs that will rename unlisted due to the fact that I'm tired and nobody wants to read that anyways. 


I have have been able to go to all kinds of crazy places and meet tons of exciting people due to these programs. I have made the best of friends and made countless memories. I have acquired a passion for music and the role it can play in entertainment, worship, ministry and SO much more. It just kinda rocks. 


I will never forget the time a very respected friend of mine told me, "I haven't been the same since the day I realized that I could use my passion, my music, to serve my greatest passion, my God." It changed his life forever and now everytime he directs, plays, composes, whatever, he uses that for God's glory. Legit. I know. 


Psalm 27:6
Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.


Yes, I am so thankful for band :)
