I'm an ex Agnostic turned Atheist who then experience the love of the GOD who I didn't believe existed at one time! I've been through some challenging things in life, (a lot of crap as I've called it) and ones I'd never choose to go through, and though the enemy has tried to destroy me a few times, by God's grace He has brought me through the valleys and caused me to stand upon a solid rock so I'm still in the battle and fighting the good fight of faith and will continue to whilst there is breath in me. I began playing guitar when I was a teenager, but mostly self taught. We had our own little punk band, that never went far, although the neighbours wished we'd have gone further, yes, further away! lol! I joined a band as a singer later on in life after 4 kids and an unwanted divorce, and a really rough time in my life, when I actually wanted to die! With this new found talent in being the lead singer in the band, my confidence started coming back, and when when our bassist dropped gigs, I then became the bassist which helped further in my development. I really felt the blessing of God and the power of God in giving me the ability to sing AND play the bass! So I was really enjoying this time and joined another band as a bass playing singer and loved it. I love to create my own tunes and write my own songs when I get some spare moments! I really should focus on this more, as it brings me good deal of pleasure, and hopefully to others too. I believe in freedom and love. I write songs inspired by what I've been through, and also about what I see in the world. I hate injustice, and love integrity. I've been duped a few times, and it hurts, but hey, I'm still alive, and am grateful for all the experiences that the Almighty has allowed me to go through as though I couldn't see it at the time, it's caused me to be blessed in ways I wouldn't have imagined and has helped me to grow as a person. I live to love, and love to live. I'd like to think I've also been a good entrepreneur, and have had my usual portion of failed ventures, some I've won in and some I've lost. I am fanatical about natural health, and hate the big pharma push on drug use and control. I remember in my twenties experiencing what felt like my body was breaking down in many places, till I learned about natural health and supplementation and drinking water. Then I began to reverse all the ailments that I was suffering. So natural health is very important to me. I used to be an agnostic, although I believed in aliens as I'd seen a UFO, it was a comfortable but hard position to be in, and then became an atheist but that was even harder, although it appeared easy at first. I asked the corner of the room (GOD) as far as I was concerned he didn't exist, to show me Himself, and that year, and only 3 months later, BOOM BANG BOOM, he gave me enough evidence as a 20 year old then, to believe He was real and interested in me. I learned about how Jesus suffered and died, and rose from the dead, and that no one's been able to disprove this. And all who try seem to come away as believers in Jesus resurrection. I experienced the power and love of God in a lifechanging way. I then went to church, and found it strange eventually that many believe this loving God is going to torture people for all eternity for simply not accepting a love gift. I became increasingly uneasy with this, and so I studied the bible hard on this subject for 3 years, and found it was NOT what the bible actually teaches. So then I precede to get oppressed in the church, because I chose not to believe that God is a torturer! That was painful. Oh well, more crap experienced by people who said they loved God, but hey we're all a work in progress and it's a spiritual battle we live in. I've also experienced being in a couple of cults which were incredibly controlling on every level and so I learned the insides and outsides of how cults work! That has been very helpful to me. What got me out of them was studying the subject of the GRACE of God. I learned that the best form of faith, is your own personal relationship with God through Jesus, which NO-ONE can take away. I believe that the gospel IS Good News, although by the way some preach today, it's the worst news you could possibly hear! What's going on there?!! I understand that we're in a spiritual battle and the enemy will always try to attack those who walk with and follow Jesus, and deceive us so that we get the character of God wrong in order to turn people away from God. So he loves to attack the church, which is the Bride of Jesus. And it's never been perfect, as it is made up of sinners who've come to know the love of God. But it IS the Bride of Christ, the Household of Faith, so be careful how you treat Jesus's wife! Anyway, I am still fighting for truth like a wounded warrior with the Sword of the Spirit in his hand, and I will never give up. I will press on towards the great prize of - Eternal Life with GOD. Which is a gift offered to ALL who believe in Jesus, as Jesus said. But watch out if you become religious, because Jesus rebuked those religious types who like to pretend or play religion and who look down on others as sinners very hard!! The journey continues and I hope to write more songs from the things in life that I see and experience. To God be ALL the glory and praise. In Jesus name AMEN
