If you missed why I’ll be having Hands and Tales as a part of this blog at times you can read why here.
How did you get those scars?
Well bypassing the fabricated stories of the shark attack or me defending some helpless victim, the real cause was a sawdust vacuum that my Dad had in his woodworking shop. It had a propellor to create the suction but the hose was off and a small nut had fallen in. Me, being a small six year old that couldn’t see over the edge of it, saw the logical solution as reaching in and grabbing it. It’s really a miracle that I have anything past my elbow, let alone being able to use it to build stuff or create music with it! I’m more than a little grateful to have my right hand let me tell you.
Who’s touched your life and why?
Recently someone who’s had a big impact is my friend Gabe. He and I got to be good friends when I was in a really unhealthy place in my walk. His humble openness with where he’d been and where he wanted to be really exposed a lot of the false fronts and contradictions that I had. I would say his friendship and the Lord working are largely what caused me to want to become open and vulnerable about my faith and to experience the benefits of having a real community of believers around which has been invaluable in the whole transition to a place like Oregon State.
What’s your greatest struggle in life right now?
Electrical Fundamentals hands down. Haha it’s pretty sad beings as that is basically my major but the class is just a complete fog. Even after finals I’m still trying to figure out what the heck the prof was talking about as soon as he finished talking about the syllabus. Praise God there’s only one term left of it!
What’s one of the happiest days of your life?
It’s hard to pinpoint one day specifically but I love those days where I’m like stressing over details of something and then just that thunderbolt moment when I realize ultimately that it doesn’t even matter cause I’m already perfectly accepted by a God that has it all planned out and I can just go play guitar and leave it up to Him. Haha
