1. Godly Christian Ministries Launched

After several months of work and countless delays, the new
www.GodlyChristianMinistries.com website has been launched. There are
several significant improvements to the site in its breadth of
material and functionality. It is much easier to add content to the
site and as a result, you can expect to see the site steadily grow in
the future. As new content is added to the site, it will initially
appear in the main blog and then it will filter into all the
categories. Check it out and find out where a good portion of my time
has been going over this last season...

2. Godly Christian Music - Site Updates

There has been several changes to www.GodlyChristianMusic.com in
the last two weeks. Though some of the changes are only behind the
scenes, most of them are quite visible.

New Copyright System
I have added a much more thorough copyright/permissions system into
the site which can be customized by each artist. On a regular basis,
I receive emails asking questions pertaining to copyright issues and
receiving permission to use the music for special purposes. The new
copyright system that I have set it place should help everyone know
exactly what they can use the music for and the guidelines they must
follow.

New Link 2 Us Page
If you have ever wanted to place a link to Godly Christian Music on
your website, it has never been easier. The new Link 2 Us page has
several different standard banner sized picture links with
corresponding html codes that can easily be pasted into your website.

Aesthetics and Fixes
There have been a few bugs in the appears of the site for some time
which have now been resolved. In addition, there has been several
things that have been spelled wrong both on various pages and within
the database. I have been taking the time to fix all the little
things I can find.

Upcoming Updates...
I am going to be looking into creating a new music player on the
site and also creating a system to utilize ID3 tags for mp3 file. For
those of you who don't know what ID3 tags are, they the things that
allow your mp3 player and computer to automatically know and sort your
music by title, artist, album, and genre. Once the system is in
place, all the files on the site should have ID3 tags.

3. Godly Christian Music - New Songs

This last month and a half has been extremely busy when it come to
add more music up to the site. There were 6 new artists that were
added to the site and 4 existing artists have posted more songs as
well. Overall, nearly 100 songs were added to www.GodlyChristianMusic.com
since the last update. The music will continue to come as well,
because there are artists that are still waiting to post up their
music and I am building a line of people for the Godly Christian Music
Recording Studio. Joe Garrity and Daniel Martin have been in the
studio and I am currently mixing their music...

Check out the new songs by each of the artists. They are all very
talented and each one offers a little different style that may fit you
just right.

4. Prayer Requests

Sometimes working on the sites can get a little overwhelming. This
last month has been one of the most intense month on the computer I
have had in a while. Between launching the new site and all the
updates to the music site, I am thoroughly amazed I can still sit in
front of the computer to type this update and be smiling in the
process.

God has been good and merciful and I am excited to see what He
continues to do through this work. Nevertheless, I am becoming
continually aware of His presence to correct and to guide me
throughout my day. As I make it my ambition to please Him and not to
build a ministry, I find deeper peace and joy in the midst of all the
work.

Thank you for all who have prayed for me when I was having
difficulties sleeping. I have been sleeping well over the last while
and am healthy.

Please be praying that I come to a deeper place of peace. I want
my life to please God in the very deepest things within my heart and
at times I still respond to trials according to the flesh. An example
of this would be...I am working on a website and something goes
wrong. In my heart, I groan, I roll my eyes in disgust, and get
anxious. In Philippians 2:14-15 we read, “Do all things without
grumbling or questioning,that you may be blameless and innocent,
children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted
generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.” Though I
have learned to do somethings without grumbling, I still have yet to
do all things without grumbling.

Please pray for me that I may learn how to fully take hold of that
for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. I want to know Christ Jesus
more and my lack of faith in the midst of trials is a hindrance.
Please pray that my faith would increase much more so that I may trust
Him and find greater peace to calm my fears.

Your Servant,
Peter Schrock
