I'm glad to use my wild array of talents to share with the global community, as well as a way of serving the Creator who gave me these talents. He deserves the

It was not until I was ten that my parents starting noticing I had any interest in music whatsoever, and it was not until 2007 that I actually picked up the hobby of musical composition and production. I have had more than enough dimensions of inspiration - my life journey, my friends, my family, and my Savior - and I know for a fact that I will never produce even a tenth of all the joyful songs I have written. I am more than glad to use the extraordinary talents that God has given me for His glory and to inspire others. I have been blessed far beyond measures of human comprehension, and the least I can do in return is give my life to the One who started it all. I am an American, to be sure . . . however, that does not mean I was born or raised in America. As a missionary kid, I have been to corners of the globe that only National Geographic has taken most of my friends. I have experienced God at work in so many different and powerful ways, and I can express only a fraction of my emotions through some of the songs that you may be listening to right now. I am no more perfect than any other human being: I have seen indescribable joy, and I have seen heart-shredding despair. But through it all, God is still mine and I am still His, and I am going to forever praise His name . . . would you care to join me?

Story behind the song

"Something New" is an inspirational song that illustrates the emotions that occur when you move away from a good group of friends that you are sad to leave.  But though you may never come back, there will always be something new; both for you, and the people you are leaving behind.

Lyrics

Verse 1

I see you walking in the door and wondering if this is the same place you left last year
And as for me it is plain to see that I agree that all of this might just leave a tear
It has not hit you until now that as you start to look around there are not the same smiles and eyes
But with love and trust and hope and faith you will see why he is leading you this way; he has a big surprise

Chorus 1

My mind is looking at the past ashamed that all this could not last
But still I have no place to go except the path that I have been shown
And though it may lead away from you, you have already made me someone new

Verse 2

I see you wondering day and night if things will somehow come out right - and I must say, though it may not be the same
There is someone walking in the door who has never met your face before - it is like meeting me all over again
It has not hit you until now that though I am nowhere to be found there is always something new
And I prefer that you forget that I exist if it makes you fret and ignore the flowers starting to bloom

Chorus 2

My mind is looking at the past ashamed that all this could not last
But still I have no place to go except the path that I have been shown
And though it may lead away from you - look around!  He may have something new
