Our Emotions Vs God's Emotions

Ok, this is a band blog spot, sure, but it is a CHRISTIAN band's blog, so get yourself ready, 'cuz I'm ready to talk about something.

Our emotions are controlled by many many things, including God, but mostly it seems we control our emotions. They can be effected by what we eat, what we listen to, watch, and of course, our minds. So when we doubt God, based on our emotions, we need to recognize that we don't really know God, all we seam to know is our emotions at the time. That doesn't mean we lost God, or God gave up on us. It just means we looked at circumstances and "gave up" on God.

So, when our emotions tell us to doubt something God has seemed to lead us in, then what we need to do is not focus on our circumstances (like what we ate for breakfast, or much worse), but focus on God.

Now I make absolutely no claims as to being able to do this, at all. I am the worst offender at looking at my circumstances, ones that don't even indicate a difference, or alteration of the good things that God has for us.

Now, we also have to be careful to not get a "high" from our feelings, because, obviously our feelings can mislead us, as pointed out above. That is why He puts things together and leads us. And then is when our down emotions try to wreck it.

I guess this is just something I'm trying to learn, and so I figured I'd share it with you all. It is important to not allow fears to come in to our hearts as we think, because that makes it to where we can't read our Bible and learn anything. Even little worries.

Well, a little more than emotions, but let me get back to that and say that God's emotions DON'T go up and down with ours unless it is sorrow that ours are going up and down.

The Rise of the Band

We are a new band. A non band even. Just a band in aspiration. Well, whatever, we think we are a band, but we aren't, and I really don't mind, just playing.

So, what are we thinking? Nothing, we don't.

As I aspire to get something going, I figured I would let you all, my loyal not so fans, read and keep up with it. If any of you want to be groupies, shoot us an email.

So, I want to pull this thing together, I don't even know if I will be in it, but I want to see a band rise. Rise from the dust. You see, if a band rises from the dust, it will be good, because only God can take dust and form it into anything ALIVE! And that is what this thing has to be, alive.

As, (if) we grow, we will keep you posted. I have officially been part of helping plant the idea in several minds. Great minds, I'm sure. I believe.

This reminds me of the first "band" I was part of. It lasted as fast as it started almost, and really lived up to it's name. 30 Seconds. In no way related to 30 seconds to Mars. We called it 30 Seconds because that is how fast we formed it. And that was over 2 years ago that it seamed to stop, actually, never went. So, 30 Seconds lived and died.

But now, why not again? Why not for better reasons? Why not with a purpose other than myself? Not even with me in it, maybe.

Well, it is certainly late here, and this band manager (without a band) has to move on.
