I think he winked at me.

All these things to say

I wrote a song for Jesus today. I'd like to share it with you.


I'll give you my praise
It's not enough
But I sing for You
Only for You

Here we go
back to the heart of it
Here to show
Not just a part of it

So take control, take control of me
I'm letting go and reaching out for You
Take control, take control of me
I'll take a leap and fall into You

I'll give You this heart
It's all that I have
But it beats for You
Only for You

All this I bring for You
All this I bring for You
Let my life shine like a star for You
Like a star, only for You



And it's done. I hope you like it.

I do love sunshine

So it's all a little surreal for me. I just moved to Australia. That's pretty much insane. But here I am. Sitting in an empty apartment listening to Sheryl Crow. Oo, no, it just changed. Ok, better. Ok, so here I sit, in an empty apartment, listening to Ryan Huston. It's almost like a fresh start in a way. Not that I particularly needed one, but the thing I like most about going somewhere new is that it opens the door for God to teach me something new and interesting and fun. And He always does.

So I'm pretty stoked about what walls God will break down. What doors He will open. Or close. What relationships He will grow. What people He will bring my way. What new thing(s) I will find out about Him. Myself. Whatever. So life, I welcome your craziness with open arms. Bring it on.

The past week in pictures....

Hello friends,

This is ground zero of new territory for me.....

...this is called 'the past week in pictures'...and i hope to keep it going into my time in Australia...but for now, here are a few of the highlights of the last week....

Steff and I at CW's open mic night on thursday. We should sing together more often.....




On friday, before the Kalahari, I went to see my grandparents. Self-timers on cameras are great!!




Me with some other 'adults' at the Kalahari.....Good times with 600 Jr/Sr High kids...





This is a grand little party that the folks at four14 had for me....it was great....




Look closely at the picture before this one. There are some balloons in it. Now come back the this pic. Those are the same balloons. And that is Steff. After we took the balloons to starbucks with us.....

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the past week of Josh's life in pictures. I hope you enjoyed it!!

Stay tuned for next time as Josh posts new lyrics.....

Auld Lang Syne

Dear 2008,
I'm glad that you've finally arrived. I remember writing a letter to your brother, 2007, around this time last year, so I thought I'd keep with the tradition. So anyways, '08 - you don't mind if I call you that do you? - I would like to tell you this. 2007 was much better than '06. While it had it's ups and downs, it was a generally positive year. So the bar has been raised. I am expecting no less than great things from you. So please don't disappoint.

Sincerely,
Joshua David
