If you haven't heard it yet, I have a new single out for FREE! Download it @ avdamusic.com Streaming starts TBA: Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, & many more! I also wanted to ask if we can try to SHARE this with as many people as possible! I just feel like the Lord wants to speak this into so many people's lives. Everyone needs to know (including myself) in spite of how the dark the bottom of the ocean may get, we will BREATHE AGAIN! Where can I go to escape your spirit? (Psalm 139:7)

New amps! I have one more coming... but these are going to be apart of my stereo guitar rig. The Blackstar HT Studio 20 has a super low end and extremely fat tone, while the Vox AC15 is mis range punchy. I have yet to test them simultaneously (have to get an isolatetor) but for the time being they are great amps by themselves.

I still don't know how to respond to the whole situation because things are beautiful, just not the flowery prairie I envisioned. It looks more like India; an over populated place of emtions, signs I can't read, things I wish I'd want to understand yet, sadly, in my loss, why should I care when happiness is in the city... And yet somebody found it. The least of these worries I have is, I have a funeral for my feelings daily. The burial ground is like a golf course. Trying to cope with the pain and memories of nostalgia, my personal time has become my down fall yet my rise. I wish I could grow from this but I fight these negative thoughts but it's the wall. I pray for roses but only if they're better than yesterday's prick to my finger tips. Cause one day, there won't be any thorns and the city will see, but only a few will wish for sunnier days. And, I'll be there at the burials... with my roses except one.

There is a shift in life when I waited for the kick in my dreams but the reality is its actually not gonna happen. In fact, life just look different to only me. Everyone still sees my flaw, failures, but most of all my growth. Beating to a new cadence, I don't let the worries of what is yesterday play in my mind. Its ok to dream and never wake up.

There's something being birth inside me.. Truth be told its always alive just caged in. Fires waiting to burst from within my soul yet the wetness of fears and doubts quench this simple thirst of believing, “I'll never be at a greater depth...” I cry out seeing sparks of blue lights. Yet im slowly crumbling in the wet ashes of this home. I know someone hears...There's a serge of power coming from above creating a new sensation in me and I won't burnout...

In the Sanctuary this morning before church. Early morning worship 😉... Decided to record this section today just to see how everything sounds. I love taking analog gear and making music with them. They add this extra element of “finesse” that makes everything around it come to life. Some digital Synths do it as but the inconsistent tonal changes of analog push boundaries; by making things bigger.

So I have made an updated version of my latest single! If you would like to hear it, you can download it @ avdamusic.com/prism ! It has been an interesting journey learning and diving into this Christian life. As I learn who Abba is and his purpose and destiny, I experience the trails and joy of sharing his love and seeing who he's made become one with him. There are times of discouragement which I express in this song and the lies I've believed but the one thing I want to get across is I pour my heart out to GOD; not people. In the Psalms that David wrote, he thrived in the momentum of running to the true healer. It's easy to create relationship with humans who fullfil this physical thirst but there's a cup we can drink from that won't allow us to ever thirst again (John 7:38). This song has it's own meaning within itself as well. Because of the insecurities I had not allowed the Holy Spirit into, it affected my ministering to people. In fact, I was upset with God all because I was valuing their success (thinking it was what they needed for conversion) over the values of the kingdom... But within all of this I still had to know and practice believing that God would make a way in spite of my mess ups. #nofailureinGod
