DIY Miniature Drums | Stand Test + Mic Test | Episode #19

I needed a break last week! Thank you for your patience! COMMENT YOUR THOUGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS BELOW! Mic testing is happening! Since one of my main goals for this drum set is to have it actually sound good, this test is extremely important. I learned many things about the kit actually. That my Kick drum actually sounds good, that the toms need adjusting for volume, the cymbals are still not cutting it for me right now (need more washy cymbal sounds), and that the overall placement of everything is working! I can't wait to make more stands that actually work well. I have one done so far. It took about three hours to make, but hopefully the rest will take less time. Thanks for watching!!

Keep reading if you would like to know about my relationship with Jesus!
These past 10 days have been refreshing and exhausting at the same time. My brother and his wife came into town, and I was so thankful to see them. But I was also exhausted with sadness when coming to their departure. It had been 9 months since I'd seen them...which I know I shouldn't complain compared to other's situations, but we normally see them at least ever 4 months. But I found myself feeling really guilty. Guilty for not calling enough, guilty for not making a trip out there myself. Guilty for talking about coming out to see them but never making it happen.

This trip just went by really quickly as well. But when they were leaving, I felt super emotional. This week has also been a rough week spiritually. I don't feel in-tune with God right now. And it makes me feel guilty. A very similar feeling actually as with my brother and our relationship. It's like, I talk to others about how great my relationship with God is going, and how I am learning some things here and there, but I some it up to be greater than it is because I can feel in my heart that it's not as healthy as it should be.

This is a healthy form of guilt, because it is stirring me to pursue God more. It's not keeping me from going to Him, but it makes me want to reach out! And sit and pray! And read the Word, BUUUT...I flippin' get distracted and I don't do what I should do. I go another day without truly spending time with my God, who I have all of my life from, who produces in me everything good that comes out of me.
I'm telling you all right now, that writing these thoughts out has helped me tremendously. It's like a picture into my soul of how I am doing and this picture reveals where I'm lacking.
When I am not in consistent relationship with Christ, my pride goes up and my self sufficiency goes up to where I feel confident doing things on my own without any reliance on Christ. I know the truth though. But my fleshly desires of control, selfish ambition, and lust creep in to take over my decision making and overall time.

I feel very flawed this week. But I am thankful for this understanding that puts me back on my knees before my king and savior Jesus Christ. This is where I belong, kneeling before Him. Honoring Him, surrendering to Him, laying down my "worldly, fleshly" rights, giving up my accomplishments, and praising Him for all of the blessings that I have.

The time I have missed I have also missed praying for those in need, those that I know are sick, the world and the leaders that need to be lifted up every day, prayer for my marriage, my wife and her day and the stress that she may be facing, the Church and for the Kingdom of Heaven to come quickly with Jesus returning!
All of these things I need to focus on and spend time in prayer for and so many more things! I am so thankful to be reminded of these things today. God is good, He is faithful and I put my trust in Him to keep me through all the days of my life.
Thank you for reading my thoughts today, until next time my friends. Please feel free to email me adamsimmons4@yahoo.com if you want to talk more about anything.

In Christ,
Adam
