DEEP STUFF!

How are you? Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. Life is insane. I think it's harder now than ever to put God first. I wish I could say I always did. I have been doing a lot better the past 2 weeks though so thats awesome. I have a new band and my old band. I'm excited. I've been spending way too much time designing my bands website.

Check out this other group I play with

Last but not least...the worship leader i'm playing with

Those are just a few of the things i've been doing. I also have my solo stuff...www.davidchristopherrudd.com. That is super fun, because it's everything I want since its just me. All of this in addition to having a part-time job, full-time school, heading up the bass department at a church, and heading up the youth praise band at a different church.

That is way busy. I've realized though that i can do all of those things "in the name of God" and still lose my relationship with Him. God is back on top in my life, most of the time. It's not making life slow down, but it is a lot more comforting and easier to handle. Well here I am being Chatty McChattermeister. Have a splendid day and week and Christmas and New Year and everything!

Love & Blessings,
David

hey rachael, i know we have never talked that much and i hardllly know you, but i just thought i'd tell you that i love reading what you have to say about life and god and everything else. its inspiring to hear someone with such appreciation of the life god has given you. its truly amazing.

if you wouldnt mind, i wanted to know how you got into the whole goign to india thing. its one of my biggest hopes, to go and help kids in either africa or asia. but i have no idea what to do! it'd be cool if you could hook me up with some info.

i hope your having a good first year of college!
