The songs I write are my prayers to God. I started writing them down and the melody just comes to me. I sing them with the love of believing that one person, who feels the same will see that they are not alone. I felt so alone for a long time and i remember the feeling of relief I felt when I discovered that there were others that felt like me.
I now had prayers written down and tunes in my head, I had to find away to get them out. I bought a guitar for $100.00 and began to learn where ever I could. through several set backs and self doubt, I never let myself quit. Dyslexia and depression tried to keep reminding me that I was useless. Then I ran across a book written by Mark Hall of Casting Crowns, Life Songs. It changed my life and helped me to walk away from my fear. I have learned to play guitar, taught myself basic music theory, and in the process realized I could play the piano!
I still study and learn every day. As I grow stronger as a musician, I grow closer to God.
Love for the Father,
Todd
