Life Line

     Childhood dreams... some seem so far fetched, others seem impossible, and some come true.  When I started playing guitar at the end of eighth grade, my dream was to be in a band.  I thought, however, that it was going to be a completely unobtainable goal for me because of how small my hometown is.  And I was partially right: until I started going to college, I was never in a band.

     But not anymore.  Since starting my freshman year of college, I have started my own band (called Life Line)  with two of my best friends, and I even wrote our first song.  (Also a small miracle, in and of itself.)  The song, called "Trusting," is based on Jeremiah 29:11-13, which says "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.  Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and you will find me, when you seek me with all your heart.'" 

     God really laid those verses on my heart, and since then, "Trusting" has become my prayer.  I pray that I will live a trusting life, entrusting my everything to God.  There are so many things in my life that I don't give over to Him: things that I think are small enough that I can handle them, but I still need to let God handle them.  If I think I can handle something, how much better can God handle it?  So my prayer is that I will learn to entrust the little things of life to God, not just the big things.  And also the medium-sized things as well. :)

     Life Line performed "Trusting" at a talent show that my university put on.  Some around campus had heard the song already, but for the most part, the talent show was Life Line's debut.  My hope is that more songs will follow this one.
