notes

I was rescued as a sophomore in high school. My first breath was on a Monday. My friend told me about the liberty from sin he had tasted. That evening in my room I turned from my wrongness and to sweet Jesus. Freedom ensued shortly after.
The first guitar I ever owned was a Christmas present in sixth grade. What a superb gift! I wasn't any good for a very long time. Singing was my first passion. Even as a toddler, I would belt out oldies tunes my parents listened to on the radio. Guitar, not so passionate about at first. I had no real motivation to play until I found the delightful musical style of blues guitar. B.B. King, Johnny Lang, I just jammed out with them on their records until I found my own style. From then I just kept practicing, and practicing. Meanwhile I found an outlet for my singing fancy in musical theatre. I never anticipated or planned for the instrument and the voice to meet but then again, I never anticipate anything the LORD does. Their first date was my high school talent show. The response was surprisingly remarkable. Everyone seemed to enjoy my performance and I loved it too. What made it greater was that I covered a Christian song. Knowing that I had the ability to bring glory to my king and really enjoy the music I played as well got me excited!
The Christian life is freedom and joy, even in the midst of trials. I am slowly realizing this. I find the most joy in knowing Jesus more and letting others know about him. For the time being, one of the avenues by which I get to do this is music, something I love very much. And I'm going to continue down this path until the LORD calls me to something else or he stops giving me songs.
I have no idea what is going to happen next and it is quite exciting! My goal I am pressing toward is to make Jesus Christ famous while I am here on earth. I'll be going home soon enough so by the LORD's grace I will continue to abide. Only what is done for Christ will last. All to Jesus, forever!

    Jimmy has obviously surrendered himself to the Lord. Music is the work of the Holy Spirit, reaching out to not only the younger generation but to all those who want to hear out-of-the-Christian box music. Very original and fantastic!
