::: Meinl videos - *This* is HOT, unlike the "Some hot Songo" thread... :::

[JonathanLR]

hey.. i wanted to say that im not gonna be posting that video...or any other vids for that matter... i feel like im loosing my talent, my gift, from not being humble enough and not always giving the glory to God..

i decided that i dont want to take any props that i dont even deserve... so i dropped the youtube account...

i know no one was waiting on that video anyways, but i wanted to say sorry

[Audiocr381ve]

dude, you're not loosing your gift. Your view of God shouldn't be that he slaps you on the hand and takes your gifts away. He's for us. You have an incredible gift bro. I always enjoy your videos.

No one just stumbles on to humility. Thank God that he has allowed you to feel the weight and emptiness of trying to take people's eyes off Him and on you. It's His grace and mercy that He would even allow us to feel how it is with out Him so we can get closer to Him. It's really a beautiful thing. It's life man, His glory, our joy.

You don't deserve any props. Even if you think you do. Even if we think you do. He deserves all the glory and all the praise. It's very freeing to understand this. Keep serving Him and don't worry bout' a ting mon!

@ Jonathan: If it makes you feel any better, I really was waiting for the video.

Romans 11:29 says that the gifts and calling of God is without repentance! Meaning that God doesn't change and He's not going to repent for giving you the gift (i.e take it back)!

I don't believe it is wrong to accept peoples compliments. You've worked hard and have been faithful to the gift God has given you. (Read Matthew 25: 14-30 and see what God has to say about the good and faithful servant). It is wrong, however, to SEEK the praises of men...

Be encouraged!!

Hey Jonathon!!

Dude I wanted to apologize for being a jerk.  I was being vindictive and it was uncalled for.  I was interested to see the video, but dude keep your head up high.  God is always working with us and He used you to look inside myself and reevaluate my character.  So thank you for helping me out and dude we are here to encourage each other and it's nothing but love in LGM.  Stay strong and keep reaching for excellence!!  Take care and God Bless.

LOL DH you're tripping man.  LOL!!!  All I was saying was that I got caught up.  After I read my statements on this thread, all I was doing was fueling a fire, which is not something I do. I didn't use good judgement and it's not my style to bash on people.  My parents' raised me like that.  If I have nothing good or constructive to say then don't say it.  I'm not saying I'm an angel because I'm far from it LOL, but my spirit did feel convicted, so that's why I apologized.  BTW DH, I do enjoy Spanish Style Porkchops, but I hold off on the Prune juice from a bag LOLOL!!!  I was rolling when I read that.  Take care and God Bless.

...we would actually send "Sheen".  He would say, "go ahead and jump!  You're pocket sucks anyway and we could do without!" LOL  (The vets remember that one..Classic LGM)  lol

 Oh yes, I do indeed remember. lol.
Hey, JonathanLR, this is a LEARNING forum, I would only make one recommendation, do just that, come on here to Learn. You post your vids to get feedback, but yet, when the feedback comes, you pretend to know all of the answers already and you don't listen and learn. Some of the great vets have taken the time to point out some wonderful pieces of advice to you, and by the looks of your vids, you obviously haven't taken them in.

Learn from those that are better than you. Wisdom and Knowledge run rampant through this room, if you open up to it, you will definitely notice a change in your playing.

May God Bless You as you continue to grow.

hey.. thanks everyone for all that you wrote... i really almost cried from reading it..

mendoza i really dont understand why you apologized, really you did nothing wrong...i didnt take anything the wrong way..

its just that after playing last sunday and playing so badly i began to wonder what was happening...excuse me if this gets long which i think it will..

well i played really really badly..messing up everything i wanted to do.. i couldnt do anything right... and i got mad at myself and i didnt know what was happening... so after church i was in my "not happy mood" and my girldfriend asked me what was wrong and i told her about the drums.. and she was like oh it sounded fine to me, your the best! and i was like nooo way :[
im playing terrible.. my arms and legs are getting locked up after only about 20 minutes of playing... i used to be able to go an hour like it was nothing..

oh well there is something i left out.. something i did about a year and a half ago.. well when i was praying for me and my girlfriend.. i really wanted to be sure i was going to be with her forever you know.. i told God, i dont care what it takes but i want her in my future, to be my wife.. i told him take whatever you need to take from me but i want her.. i told him if you ha to take my talent then take it.. i would trade it for her..

i dont know guys.. i think thats it :[
maybe it was a dumb move.. a desperate move lol, i was pretty desperate for her

ive never shared that with anyone before so.. i dont know.. its probably that.. i think im losing it more and more every time i play..

Bro, I want to encourage you to gain some theological understanding of the God of the bible. I can explain why like this. Imagine saying you love your girlfriend and the only thing you had of her was her hair. That's it. No voice, no personality, no love, no guidance, no character. You only had a few strands of her hair. Weird right? How could you even get to know this person?

I encourage you to do this for YOUR joy and ultimately His glory. First I would say to ask God to reveal the scripture to you, and then start reading your bible. Then....ask questions. Ask your elders/leaders/pastors questions. Many times our views of God and his attributes/character are so bent, and well, wrong. God is not a pinata that you hit and blessings come out, nor is he a slot machine. Hit me up in PM's if you'd like I have some amazing material you could download free bruh!

...hey man, when you are in church and in a "Worship Setting", you and your agenda goes to the side.  You "have to play/minister" with your bandmates so that the message that God wants to deliver to the Congregation through you guys' Worship/Devotion time is not disturbed.  Yes, you will have some bad days but I remember Sabianknight putting something on here as to..."How good is your bad?" (I'll try to find that thread)

...as to the girlfriend situation...If she's meant to be....she's meant to be.  You're young.  Enjoy being young.  Eventually you'll settle down.  There is a time/season for everything. 

...let God steer your life and don't try to help him.  We will always fail when we try to help God out.

   I'm sure I'll be getting these!!!!

Good conceptual analogy...

Truth.  Please enjoy being young.  I remember saying that about an ex (in high school).  I'm not with her now (o'shea-bo-bo-ka!), and I'm glad that I didn't marry her...
