I got back from my school's See You At The Pole about 20 minutes ago, and let me just say, the Spirit of God really will show up wherever you ask Him to! I ended up getting to school around 6:35 or so, and it was still dark, and I was the only one there...kind of daunting. Regardless of what was going on around me (or rather, what wasn't), I pulled out my guitar and just started worshiping. I remember thinking to myself, "Crap..I really hope today is SYATP, because if its not, then I'm just gonna look like an idiot out here by myself." However, as I was thinking that I realized that what I was thinking was wrong...I don't need any excuse to stand outside my school and worship God!
So I kept worshiping as teachers and students walked by looking at me, and then some came and stood next to me. Soon enough we had a whole circle around our flagpole singing to God and just standing in his prescence. It was so good! The prayers that came out of that circle had such power and purpose! I have never felt as much peace at a SYATP as I did today. The atmosphere was just so pure and awesome!
God is good!!!!

Senior year rocks!!
Alright, let me just say, its awesome to have the Spirit of God with you anywhere you go...including English class!
I was sitting in class today working on the start of a personal narrative paper, and my teacher said it was ok if we listened to music, so since I was working on the good 'ol macbook, I plugged in my earbuds and put on a worship playlist that I made for my buddy luke the other night. Once the music started, I was almost immediately put into a deep place of worship, but the really cool part is that I was totally flowing with what I was writing!!!!
I never thought that I could have such focus on something school related while I was worshiping, but I did, and it was awesome! I decided to show my teacher what I had so far, and she seemed very pleased, and said that she could see that I was really honing in on what the paper should look like.
But this is only the first part of the story.
Right now I'm in my electronics engineering class, and I texted my buddy Luke (mentioned above ^^^) and asked him if he was listening to the mix I made him since he forgot to listen to it the other night, and he texted me back saying "Yeah. The cory asbury song and jason upton songs are sooo powerful." It turns out that Luke was in a state of worship as well!
WHATTT!!!!
That same spirit of worship that was in me during my first block class (Luke was in this class too, sitting right in front of me) had transferred to Luke and was with him during second block! And now I'm worshiping while writing this blog!!

"Back After Popular Demand..."
AHHH!!!! So its been 46 days, 6 hours and 42 minutes since I've updated this blog! I know, I know, I'm a terrible person, but what can I say? Well, nothing I suppose. I guess I'll just get started on writing what I want to write.
So the school year has started, and its great so far. I'm a senior, which is awesome, and my classes seem pretty easy (so far). I'm stoked about the year so far because I'm becoming friends with alot more people in my class, as opposed to previous years when I was really only friends with upperclassmen. I'm really excited to see how everything with school pans out..its going to be exciting!
Ok, so enough about school. Teen L.I.V.E. has just been amazing since I last posted! In the Wild was a huge success, and God showed up so strongly through the whole event. The worship was incredible; just so intimate and pure, it was unbelieveable! And In The Wild was just the start of what is happening now.
It seems as though whatever God has been a brewin' around the country is finally starting to really manifest. Recently, Asia and I have been getting together on tuesday nights to just have an intimate worship time before anything gets started. We figured that since the band had been on a break to re-focus, it would be good if we kind of started over, with this new "band" having a heart of worship before anything else.
And that exploded!
The first tuesday we got together, Asia and I ended up playing until the beginning of Genesis (only stopping because our hands had cramped up). The next tuesdays were just awesome, and now we've started to do worship in Teen L.I.V.E. and the atmosphere has just been amazing. I'm really starting to get a taste of what true worship is, and its so exciting!
Good things are happening. Better things are coming. Go God!
