Always growing

These last 2 weeks have been great for me. 2 weeks ago tonight, we had a talk as a band about all the stupid crap we all have done and how we need to change and be role models. Since then I have been in the word every day except one, and have kicked two habbits. This change has helped immensely. Being in the word has brought me closer to God, and in doing so, I feel as though it prepared me for leading worship with my Fuse team at church on Sunday for the first time. Last Monday, Luke talked to all of the leaders at the big leaders meeting and let us know we were out of line. I had already begun the process of trying to change, but his words really spoke to me. I think what hit me the hardest, almost to the point of breaking down, was when he brought three of the youth on stage and told us that was who we were hurting by living the way we were. I am so glad he called us all out. Accountability is so important. On top of trying to get on the right track spiritually, I am trying to live a more healthy life. Adam and I started jogging together yesterday. I felt like I was going to throw up, but I went jogging this morning by myself and I'm already starting to get used to it. These past couple weeks have been great. I refuse to go back there ever again.

Your attitude is what you make it.

I had an epiphany today. You decide how your day is going to turn out by what attitude you have. This morning I woke up super bummed because of what happened last night (saturday.) I got to church around 7 for sound check and played all my parts correctly but my heart wasn't in the right place. I had a talk with Larry and Andrea about being bummed because they could clearly tell, and then I talked with Joel about it when we went to Wegmans to pick up swedish fish for Jesse's message. As I was talking to Joel, I decided that I wasn't going to let a bad night effect a new day, so I did some sould searching, some praying and listened to a little United, got in a worship mindset and gave it my all. After church I was put in essentially the same situation, and it went well because my attitude was positive and I was confident. My day turned out really well. I went to a couch burning bon fire at RIT tonight and it was awesome. I really love bon fires. I go to alot of them.

Welp, see ya later.

Mitch.
