| For the lost and the unsaved...Father we will lead them home.God has literally turned my world upside down. In this past week and a half i've found out how hard it is to abandon everything that I have. Its easy to do for a day because the next day, you'll wake up and forget all about it just to go back to where you were before. Well this blog is to pretty much say how I refuse to do that. I've given up everything. That includes my girlfriend, my friends, my music, my time, everything. Why? Because I'm ready to see this world changed. Not for my sake or for the benefit for anyone. All for the glory of God. Fortunately God has allowed me to be with my girlfriend lindsey for the time. She is a blessing and helps out soo much with the ideas and the new creative thoughts of this new ministry God has laid on my heart to go and start. I'm so thankful that I'm not alone. I'll have a good friend of mine and a great man of God along with a team of people working with me to bring this country back to where God wants it. In alot of ways I'm extremely nervous about the decisions that I have to make coming up this summer. I know that God is going to protect me and guide me but i get scared sometimes because i don't know what it is like to move by myself ( meaning away from my family and my friends) to Baltimore, Maryland. However, through fear and darkness, I'm going to follow the path God has chosen for me to run. God has already provided a great job up there doing what i would do every wednesday night and weekend for free. He has blessed me by allowing me to get paid to do what i love doing. Its been a hard path for the past 2 years but with the help from Him, Lindsey, my friends, and my family, I'm able to say that I'm ready to devote my life to God's calling on my life. I love you guys and anyone on this site, (whether i know them or not) can ask me anything! I love talking as you can tell by my huge blog. Alright well i'm going to split. but i'm going to encourage everyone to listen to Leeland!! Preferably the song Tears of the Saints! haha They would greatly appreciate it. It is one of the most amazing things God has blessed me with hearing! Love to everyone!
~Love Tom Tears of the Saints by Leeland ( visit: myspace.com/leelandmusic ) Verse1: There are many prodigal sons In our city streets they run Searching for shelter There are homes broken down People's hopes have fallen to the ground From failures This is an emergency
Chorus: There are tears from the saints For the lost and unsaved We're crying for them, come back home We're crying for them, come back home All you children stretch out your hands And pick up the crippled man Father we will lead them home Father we will lead them home Verse2: There are schools full of hatred Even churches have forsaken Love and Mercy May we see this generation In a state of desperation For your glory

| Things have been crazy lately. My step dad had a stroke so thank you to all the people who have been praying for him! He is doing alot better now. With music stuff... its been realleallreally interesting. Its like God is pouring down blessings in my life and the lives of my friends. I recently recieved a proposal from a production company. They asked me if i'd like to be their new featured artist and after a couple of weeks, God gave me the go ahead. They refused my band and are going to make me play with hired musicians but i get to pick which ones. (So i don't have to play with Satan-worshipper McGee) I managed to convince the production company to allow a good friend of mine and fellow musician to play and write with me. But they said that was it. no mass. jerks....at least i don't have to be all alone! With the hired musician stuff i'm doing. I'm playing for Judd Wright during the month of Febuary. I think we are playing with Leeland and Steve Fee and i'm pretty excited! I know that i don't deserve any of these things. None of us do. But because God is such a merciful God, he allows his love to drip down. I love him now and i love him when things are bad. He is the ultimate truth. Lately i've been reading about solomon. I think that it is soo cool how he could have asked for riches, fame, or anything else and God would have given it to him. Instead he chose wisdom to better lead God's people. I wanna be as strong as Solomon when it comes to telling myself no and saying yes to what God wants for me. Bros weekend this weekend. ~Love Tom | | |
| I really have been lacking time to keep up with this thing! But God has been doing some amazing things still! Lately I have made it important in my daily walk with Him to really read and hang out with God. At first i didn't really think it was making a difference but i soon started to see the difference throughout my day. God was beginning to reveal his love in everything around me. I have always seen God's love in things surrounding us. But there are sometimes when God just pours it down. Something i really want to start doing again is just going up to the church and just doing some prayer. I know you don't have to be at a church, but its away from everything. Its a sanctuary for me. God's love poured down from heaven in the form of a secret place, away from every distraction, away from my girlfriend, my friends, myself. Where its only me and Him. Where is your place??
I want to both encourage you and challenge you to find that place. Whether it be your room, your basement, your car, wherever. God wants to speak with you. Its our responsibility to listen.
I just prayed over everyone that is sleeping... God has something powerful for them!

| Anoint everything, GodIts been a while... again.  God still reigns. These last months since my last entry have been a huge learning experience. God is like a cloud floating over this world. Waiting to rain down on those who lift their hands to worship Him.
I'm headed on a 7:17 pm flight to Baltimore, MD tonight. God has graciously given me an opportunity to worship him with a different crowd again. I thank Him everytime he does this. I'm so ready to go off. But i've learned that I've been holding myself back. If you don't hear anything else that i say or have said to you in the past, listen to this please. All you guys at Roswell High and everywhere else. You will just be ...you until you find God. He is what makes you more, not anything else. You wanna be something awesome? Then you have to run for something awesome. God.
A person without God is like a tree with no roots. The wind will blow and knock them right over.
You can feel it can't you? I can. God is so willing to blow our world apart. Trust is a huge step but look at everything we are blessed with...Life, Love, Music,...
Why run from a blessing when God wants to you use us. He wants to bless us. All he asks is that we follow Him.
I've been through the Good and the Bad and the only thing that is constant with love is Jesus, the one and only true God.
God, I humbly bow down before you. Take away pride and selfishness lord. Everything feels as though its passing me by, but God help me stand for you like David. Give me the strength to resist conformation to the world. I don't want to be a typical high school kid. I refuse to be a regular Roswell kid. I wanna be more. I wanna be yours...
Take control this weekend, Lord. take my worship, take my spirit, take my everything, I owe it all to you.
~Love Tom
I love you guys and i'm still praying for you guys and gals at RHS. I may not talk to yall anymore, but i remember you and I pray that God will bless your lives. Its not a popularity contest, its about where God is taking us and if you are willing to make the journey.

| - Fire Fall DownIts been a while...since i've really worshiped
Wow!... Its been a really long time since I've written last! Nothing really has been going on lately. I'm in a new band called MIDWAY, playing piano/synth and doing some vocals! I still attend Gravity Youth Group and am still leading worship some! I'm just the same ol sam ol.
Thats not what i want though. I mean i can be honest and just say that I'm hungry for something more. And for some reason not getting it.
I am so desperate to just forget about the music, forget about the sound, forget about everything and focus on God. Honestly i can't stress it enough! I'm so starving for a move of God...it kills.
Worshiping God is harder for me now than it ever has been before. I've discovered new technological advances such as newer sound systems, better amps better keyboards and you know what...All that stuff has done is gotten my eyes off of what real worship is all about. Because of who i am surrounded by, my worship has been twisted and mutated.
Its like the better a band gets or even a person gets, the more they lose sight of who they are, whose they are, and what their 1st goal was.
Tonight is a Wednesday night and there will be a youth service at 7:00PM
Tonight i'm going to just block out everything, take away everything, burn away anything...
I'm coming back to the heart of worship... | | |
