i'm excited but nervous

i'm playing a gig on saturday night, and i invited the whole church and most of my school. i don't know how many people will show up, but it could be really cool. i've pulled together about 20-25 songs that i can do well. i've been practicing them. they won't be memorized, some of them are, from gigs i've done in the past. i've decided that if i don't get out and play, i will just stagnate. my ultimate goal is to be able to play at least 1 hour of original music, but right now i don't have enough good songs, so i'll be doing quite a few covers. some you may have heard, some you may have not. so anyway. sorry for the lack of blogging lately. i just really haven't had anything to say. i've been studying the book of james. if you want to be convicted about your walk, then read james. it is an eye opener. journal about it as well. every chapter is just a slap in the face. it's like wake up people... this is what God desires of you. many people read james and write it off as legalism, but he really stresses faith and love throughout. anyway. i hope you have a great day. i'm off to my paying job. blessings to you and yours

have a good one
