So, maybe I haven't been so wonderful at letting people inside this earthsuit in the past; But maybe, I might be able to improve with a little assistance from modern technology.
I count myself incredibly blessed to have grown up in the family I did. The youngest of three, I share sibling-hood with one brother and one sister.
Skating was a fun past-time for me, until a combination of 6th form homework, a rural house location with no concrete, and an injured knee ruled that party out.
So I guess drumming has since been the order of the day. Yaaaaaaaaay!
I never intended on being a singer, rostered semi-regularly for a youth church, funnily enough. I just got a band together once for a talent quest and sang because I knew the song.
Perhaps God had other ideas...not sure. So anyway, 9 years down the track I still find myself behind a voice amplifier about every 3 weeks. Strange that. And there have been plenty of acolades thrown from here and there...which is nice...but sometimes it's not always the way it is.
I got the chance to to this 'interlude talk thing' in a Kirk Franklin song at Flame once. It's got the lines 'this song is dedicated to people like me, those that struggle with insecurities, acceptance, and even self esteem...etc.'
It is an interesting little blurb and I made one of my flat-mates so sick of that song when I was learning the blurb hehe. But, I think there are some people who kind of sniggered when I was reeling off those lines...Perhaps they thought, 'that couldn't be true of him'...'He doesn't struggle with that'...
All I can say is ya can't judge a book by its cover. Teehee. Maybe there are some people among us who seem to have it all together, but are actually crying out on the inside saying, “Is who I am, Ok?”
Hope I haven't made ya too emo but hey, I'll wind up by saying, 'God give me the grace to love people for who they are inside and to accept them like You do.'
