So here I am... sitting in front of a piano, guitar by my side, filled with more desire than ever to create something that affects. I've never felt like this going into a record. Something is different this time. Over the past 2 years, certain colors have been added to my "palette of inspiration" where at the same time certain ones have been stripped away. As a result, there is a plethora of emotions within the potential content of these songs that range from elation to desperation, and they are fueling these days of writing. I'm hoping for the outcome to be an outstanding, beautiful record. But here's the deal, I need help. If you think about it, please pray for me. Please pray that great creativity and inspiration will flow through me and that amazing songs will appear - Songs that do more than just make someone shake what the good Lord gave em, but make them shake because of what the good Lord gave em. I don't take credit for it. I want this album to be special.--Bryce Avary's latest blog
Sometimes you see character traits in others that you wished so desperately you had in yourself: Humility. Inspiration. Emotion. Dependence. Devotion.
All things I want in my life. And things that are evidenced in his life. And the lives of others I know.
A life of one in step with the Spirit. Growing and loving and moving on a daily basis. Not just kinematics, but knowing why they're going. And loving every step of it, because they know it's what's right.
That's what I want to be when I grow up.
You're all of those things.
ReplyDeleteI see those very traits in you.
I think we don't see our own traits, and we admire those around us. Which is good, as we learn to have an appreciation about how God works in the lives of our loved ones.
