Raining again...

So when I moved to the O.C i was told it rains 2 days out of the year...yet it rained once last week and yesterday and today...not that i dont like rain but its like HEAVY rain!! Thinking about visiting Vanguard University today hopefully the rain would let up. Been writing a lot lately and I am thinking about releasing an EP to go along with my new cd "The Anatomy of a Heartflow" I need to writ one more song then I am all set. Tracks so far are

1: Pioneer
2: When Summer Came
3: All I Need

I am very excited to see what the Lord gives me next...and knowing me these songs will proly change 4 more times haha...Im feeling super inspired though...finished "Pioneer" Yesterday and am very pleased with it :)

we will see what comes next

Peace

Okay I know its been a while !!

Sorry guys I totally forgot about the blogging world...so a lot has happened since my last update...A LOT! I am now living in L.A moved here with my wifey 2 weeks ago after an amazingly fun road trip across half of America with two other swedish buds. My sister in law and one of my greatest friends Sebastian. We had a whole lot of fun!!

My cd is now out and is doing very well, I know God has an amazing plan and I am very excited to see what that is :) I am going to an AMAZING church here...it is called Life church and is Pastored by an amazing couple Phil and Jeannie Munsey, just incredible people of God. Just the 2 services I have gone to have changed me so very much!

We are living with my sister Jeanette who leads worship at the church with Another worship leader Jason Chatham...he ROCKS! What I love most is not oly is he great musically but he has the right heart about why he is doing what he is doing. I have been reading in Nehemiah and it has really encouraged me to rebuild the wall in my life and not a wall in a "blocking myself out" way but rather a strong foundation to stand on. I know this is where me and Anna are supposed to be and it has been evident through the incredible favor God is showing us. I went to apply for jobs today and the first one I applied to I got an interview Woohoo!! :) Meeting some awesome people here and I can't wait for the future...YAY!

This weekend I am the musical guest for a comedy dvd recording...Fishsticks Comedy they are hilarious. Based out of Milwaukee, so it looks like I have to leave this blissful 75 degree weather and go back to negative 2 haha...but thats okay :)

Well see u 2morrow

Peace

Yes I know its been a while...and since no one follows this blog...im sure no one will know im back either lol!!! Just spent the last month busting my butt recording mine and Cesar's cd...they have turned out so much better than expected!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!

In 8 days...

Hey guys...WOW I have been stressed there has been so much going on...too much lol! Working 16 hour days cause of this tv show im working with...trying to transfer all the money to the US fot the cd project and it sucks to transfer from Sweden...so complicated!! But other than my UBER stress I am very excited cause Ann Guzik is coming to visit me on wed...YAAAYYY!!! I love having my lovely American friends over for visits in my home country..I am gonna be pretty busy but I am going to make as much time for her as I can :) Anyway, things are fab just wnated to give you an update :)

Good Times

HAHA, sorry about the last blog guys, I have made it through no worries lol...sometimes the easiest way to let things out is to write them!! My Sis is moving to L.A. on monday and I am going to miss her very much! But she is going to be in an awesome city doing awesome things and I am proud!! My cd is being recorded in 20 DAYS...I cant believe it...I am so excited!!! Everything has come together nicely and God has truly provided for me! I am loving life and I am grateful for everything going on right now...I will only be made stronger by my struggles and without them I would never get to see God's undying unbending love for me...his grace covers our mess...Its amazing isnt it :)

In conclusion, I finished writing one of the songs from Cesar's album today and i think the bridge might encourage you...

Its easy to look at life in a negative way
using our past like some kind of bitter escape
but if you look at the sky there isnt a shade of gray
So I decide to say
"The sun is shining and I know its gonna be a good day"

Life has changed a bit but the memories still remain
no matter what happenes I will never ever forget the good times
people change but life remains
and even though we go our seperate ways
no matter what happens I will never ever forget the good times!!

Its Gonna be a good day :)

Hmmmm...

Okay, so I am feeling much better now (when it comes to mono and throat pain) and it is nice to be able to swallow again! Came to a conclusion today...I have spent a lot of my life just thinking about other people...what other people think about me, why is this person doing this, why doesnt this person like me etc etc...which has caused me to feel very crappy about myself in many different scenarios...I have always been told that thinking about yourself is obviously being selfish...which is true to a certain extent but when you get so pushed to the side that everything about you starts changing because thats what other people want...then something is wrong! Just as I obsess over what other people want and need I feel like the same courtisy should be given to me. I feel like I have lost myself and realized that literally my lfe is defined by other people...that is sad...Not by Jesus, not by love but by other people's opinions and their uncanny control over my thoughts and actions!

Well, its always good when you find the culprit of something cause its ending today, Im not gonna become this selfish person saying "this is what I want" all the time cause my love for people will never go away, but its time to stop caring if a friend doesnt contact me as much, or if someone cuts me off cause they just dont like me so much or if someone gets upset because I am not doing things quite to their standard...people dont understand the stress and pressure they put on me sometimes but its proly because they are smart enough to think about themselves a little too! I am praying to God to release this annoying self concious, let everyone step on me all the time Jonathan...I am putting my fricking foot down...NOW! I will always be helpful but its time to stop taking it to extremes people, because honestly I dont need friends...really...and I dont need anyone really...I need Jesus and my wife and my family! And even the closest to me cause problems for me sometimes...but that is just natural!

So in conclusion to this obviously "ranting" letter...If you dont want me and you dont like me...WHO CARES! I WILL LIVE...HONESTLY!

Have a blessed day!


Oh and P.S. Listen to Imogen Heap's new album "Ellipse"...Its amazing!!
