HERE IT IS! The Struck By Lightning trailer!
Oh yeah, buy my wristbands.
You fooled me for a second! Sneaky. (Signs that you’re anticipating a trailer just a little too eagerly: when things like this happen to you.)
(discretion advised)
*note* This piece addresses pain and hurt. As such, it is somewhat vivid, graphic and descriptive. Please use discretion in reading.
I hope you will see my heart and know that I write to inspire the same hope I hold dear…The same hope that I have seen heal wounds that go deeper than I can even imagine.
No matter the wound of your heart, healing can begin in this very moment.
Voices In My Head
by Curt Mega
12/28/2011
“Worthless! Worthless! You’re worthless!”
She screamed in my head.
The blade bit down sharply,
My arms seeping red.
The pain takes me over,
A sweet drug clearing my head,
Smothering my thoughts
With my arms seeping red.
They all make their judgements.
“For attention”, some claim.
But they don’t hear her voice
And they don’t know her name.
They don’t hear the words
Rooted in my brain.
They only see the cuts,
Not understanding true pain.
The words are the lie
That I’ve heard all my life,
That can only be silenced
By the kiss of the knife.
The ugliest of lies
I see by the light of my face.
The distortion of truth
Made clear by this grace.
Grace that made me
That I may be a light,
That I was purposed
And that I can fight.
That I may yank up the lies,
Like weeds from a bed.
And by the same hand,
Plant the truth instead.
Something I want you to think about the next time you decide NOT to do your vocal exercises! Go HARD or Go HOME!
People with big dreams just have to work that much harder to make them come true, which ultimately makes for a bigger reward…your posts always remind me of that!

A cool SBL shirt with an awesome wristband! Order your wristbands now.
Ooh. I wish I could order the shirt too, haha. I’ll be buying a few bracelets soon - hopefully this weekend! Good luck, Adam! :)
It’s so easy to get lost in the worry of tomorrow… money, jobs, security, opportunity. etc. In these difficult economic times, all the pillars of strength we once relied upon so faithfully are now crumbling into dust.
There are so many intangibles that seem just out of the reach of our control. And quite frankly, it’s because they are. We can work hard but often, uncertainty still abounds. What do we do then? How do carry on?
For me, the key is understanding that worry adds nothing to my life. It only diminishes the fullness of the present moment.
That is not to say we shouldn’t make goals for the future. We must prepare and work as hard as we possibly can.
By all means, we MUST! We have been given dreams and the giftings to pursue them. To not pursue them with excellence would be a travesty. The future should always be in mind but never at the expense of the present.
But there often comes a point in my life when I know I’ve done my best but the answer still isn’t heard. The provision eludes me. I am faced with rejection and must prepare myself to move on from that point.
I have to let it go to be PRESENT and be at peace. Living in the past holds me back and worrying about the future limits me in the present.
Tomorrow will come. But today is here. Live your life in the moment. Let go of worry & fear. They are debilitating.
Often, our greatest rejections in the moment are an integral part of the journey, a molding of our hearts and character to be prepared for what is to come. The best stories do not begin with everything working out at the beginning.
Dreams are worth fighting for.
Be open to the idea of what seems impossible! Chase your dreams with diligence. They are in you for a reason.
Live your life in love! I don’t think hate is the opposite of love… It’s fear. Let go of it. You don’t need it in your life. Be free!
Sincerely,
-Forever a dreamer (learning day by day to be a constant do-er)
Curt, you always say exactly what I need to hear. Thank you so much.
