Why I Stopped.

Yo. Okay, guys. Time to answer the question I've been getting asked for over a year now.

"Did you stop posting cover songs? Why???"

Okay, here's why.

Here's the thing. It didn't make me happy anymore. When I started, it was just fun for me. It gave me something to do when I got sick. It gave me something to focus on. But I began to post for the wrong reasons- for my own glory. And I would freak out if I didn't get enough views or 'likes' or whatever. And that was really crappy of me.

That then, brings up another question.

"Have you just stopped singing altogether?!"

Uhm NO! Why would I? Honestly, I've been blessed with a pretty awesome gift and I'm not just going to stop using it. I'm a worship leader here in Sioux Center at the HOME building. I have a few live sets of my own throughout the week, and a couple that I do with some other really legit people. It's really great. I'm no longer singing for the approval of others or to glorify myself. I'm singing for An Audience of One.

Next question:

"Oh. So, you only sing Christian songs?"

El OH EL. Not always. When I'm worship leading, yes. I don't think I can really worship Jesus while singing anything by John Meyer... But when I'm at home, I'm not gonna lie; I like to play around on the piano with some Tom Petty or Coldplay. What's wrong with that?


Alright, so with all of those questions answered, I guess this leaves me with this...

I was playing around today with an Ed Sheeran song I'm loving right now, and it made me feel like when I first started posting covers. And I figured everyone's been waiting close to two whole years for this, might as well give ya'll a little something. SURPRISE! This will more than likely be the last one I post, so here you go; for old time's sake.
