I was once dead, in darkness, and an enemy of God. But through the blood shed by the perfect Lamb, Jesus the Christ, His death on the offensive cross, and His conquer of death, I have been washed clean. I am now alive, living in Light, and an adopted child of God! I hate to confess this, but often times I still live as though an enemy of God. But He is at work in me, refining me and making me look more and more like Him.
I am engaged, and will marry in December to the love of my life and my best friend. I work at my church, and mostly do media stuff, but also whatever else I’m asked to do. I love music. At last count, I play 13 instruments. I wish I could just do music for a living. But the Lord hasn’t opened that door up yet. I love writing music…not with lyrics, because although I’m good with words and at writing, I am not poetic. It is a real gift to be able to write good lyrics and fit it in a song…my sister, Hannah Dixon, and my favorite musician, Andrew Peterson, are examples of people who are extremely gifted in this area. Anyways, I love writing instrumental music. A dream of mine is to write the sound track to a movie. Perhaps I will post some of my stuff on here for you to get a taste of my passion. And perhaps the Lord will allow your soul to rejoice even half as much as my soul rejoices when I am able to play music. I know any musical gifts I have are completely from the Lord, and therefore, whatever I write is aimed at bringing Him ALL the glory!
I don’t know what God is calling me to yet. I’ve been taking some seminary classes to see if perhaps that is the route I’m called. Although at times I enjoy it, I’m beginning to wonder if seminary is not where I’m supposed to be…at least for now. Maybe I need to experience more of life and the “real world” before I’m supposed to go through seminary.
That’s about all for now…
