God doesn't waste your failures, he recycles them into testimonies. I can't begin to depict to you the last 5 years of my life in this post. From moving out to a new city and school where I knew nobody, to graduating as UNT's biggest Odogwu 😂
God has grown, shaped, molded, and refined me in so many ways and I can't be thankful enough. His strongest warrior package IS meant for the weak because it's by his grace that you survive it and grow into the person he has written you to be.
The biggest thank you to everyone who's supported and loved me. From my friends, to my family, to both my grandparents seeing one of their grandkids graduate college for the first time. I have nothing but love and humble appreciation for everyone who's ever impacted me in my journey here. May God continue to bless us all and give us the strength to forever seek and chase after him. I love you guys so much.
P.S I hope it's okay that I posted this after 11:59
THE RETURN OF DRIFT.81
Thank you to Ashes Smoke Shop for welcoming Drift.81 back onstage to close out Denton's annual 4/20 festival and to everyone who came out to support! We can't wait to share more footage from this night as well as all that's to come!! 🤟🏾
Some low quality pictures from a high quality night.
Let me level with you, everything that could've gone wrong with this day, damn near did. It rained, 60% of ppl didn't show up, my band couldn't make it, my best friend came late, and I'd never played in front of people by myself let alone my friends😭. I could have canceled the while thing, rescheduled, come up with some excuse as to why I wasn't gonna do it. After all I had valid reasons. But I knew this was a challenge from God. Yes it was my birthday celebration and my band’s 4th birthday as well but I felt he stripped me of the things that normally accompanied me to get me to understand that i need to let my light shine sometimes. I was nervous but on the surface I had to look calm and ready. It was a most vulnerable and intimate expression of myself and I couldn't be more grateful for everyone who showed up for me. At the end of the night I felt entirely fulfilled that I trusted God's plan over mine.
Here's to more music, more life, and my everlasting trust in God.
