"Time flies when you are having fun" Right? I must be having the time of my life then, because I can't even account for where all the time has gone. Not only that but I am in my junior year at college, which is crazy busy in itself. There are so many stories and things to update you all on. I am sorry that I haven't been able to make the time to let you all in but know that I would love to know all and share all when I come home again.
I am officially done with my third year of college in the last week of April, and will be home after my band tour by the second weekend of May. Life is going quite well, I can't believe how much God has blessed me and been faithful to me especially in this past year. I am so grateful and each new day that comes, I praise him for it, for all that it contains.
A couple weeks ago at church Pastor Jim Bricker gave a message on "seeing myself as God sees me" It was an amazing and impacting message. I want to share some points of it with you.
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength. Eph 1:18-19
GOD'S VIEW OF YOU!
1) God Sees you as acceptable- Titus 3:5-7
2) God sees you as valuable- Luke 12:24, and 1Cor 7:23
Value = who it belongs to and how much someone is willing to pay
3) God sees you as lovable- John 3: 16, and Isaiah 54: 10
God's love is based on his character, not my perfection or performance
4) God sees you as forgivable- Eph 1:4, and Isaiah 43:25
5) God sees you as capable- 2Cor 3:5-6, and Phil 4:13
God is so good, know his love, experience his love, and share his love.

Everything here in Indy is going to pick up from here on out even more so than normal since it is close to the end. If any of you are interested I have my last concert of the semester on April 22 at 7:30 pm here on campus. Keep going strong my friends and know that God has EVERYTHING under his control (and remember He made the entire universe, therefore, his control is all you need).
Living Happily Ever After in Christs Love
Chris
