A Change of Heart

It's been almost a year since I first "stepped out on faith" and left my full time day time job. My thoughts at the time were a bit mixed. I was definately ready to move on but quite unsure of what the future held. In my mind I secretly hoped it was God movingme into full time music, that was what I considered to be the desire of my heart. Overthe past year He has opened up many doors and created many opportunities for meto share music with all kinds of folks. Something has happened along the way thoughthat has shifted the focus of my hearts desire. I now desire relationship above everything else. Don't get me wrong, I still love music but I think it's just a different kind of love, a healthier, more balanced type. I desire relationships with people and many times over the past few years music has created a barrier for true relationships in my life. (If u have ever been to a DWB show, U know what I mean) I would probably go so far as to say it created a barrier between me and God. It was what I considered to be my connection to God but now, it's just a little different. In fact many of my favorite people in the world I spend the least amount of time with, my bandmates. Sure we hit the stage together most every weekend but during the week real life happens and I miss out on that more times than not. I feel a shift happening, a true heart change and I hope it doesn't stop. After all music was supposed to be a way I could connect with people and I pray that it's just that, a tool to connect me to real relationships with real people.....
