Here’s a message on the heart of worship by JD from Hillsong United. Take 17 minutes to hear this. Listen to it all the way to the end!
Since my last post my life has been filled with, sadly to say, not nearly enough of the aforementioned activity. Which is writing, creating and recording music. I’m desperately hoping that this will change soon in the event that my weekly to-do lists and meetings begin to magically work themselves out 
Here’s what else has been happening in my life.
Tri has been playing shows like crazy. Last week I sang for approximately 24 hours and I’m feeling it this week. Along those same lines I’ve started saving for a new guitar (PRS Hollowbody I). I’m about 1/7 of the way there… it’s really expensive, we’ll see if I make it before getting interrupted.
I (we) have a live recording coming up which we have yet to set a date for it but I think it will more than likely fall into May sometime. I’m excited.
That’s about it!
Here’s to hoping I can write another blog sooner than the last!
It’s been a while since I’ve written a “meaty” blog. So here goes.
I read a quote today from a dear friend of mine (….) that struck an old familiar chord in me.
“… to evolve you have to dismantle, and that means accepting the idea that nothing you’ve created in the past matters anymore, except that it brought you here.
To pick up your new marching orders.”
That applies to me as a leader, musician and as a songwriter. That applies to everything that I’m a part of and all the success that I might think I can use to identify myself or fancy myself a big deal. It means that I don’t have to get nervous about the option of failing in front of the new people who are watching me who weren’t watching me 3 years ago. I can simply stop, breathe, and live like I’m in a room of 5 people but lead like I’m in a room of 5,000… just like I’ve been instructed to do.
Today is as good of a day as any to redeclare my dependence on God. That it isn’t me who lives, but Christ who lives in me. I don’t know if any of you ever feel the same way, but sometimes I carry unnecessary weight on my shoulders. Sometimes I need to remember that this life that I live has nothing to do with me or building my kingdom… but rather, to build His.
What a way to start my morning… thank you iGoogle for this morsel of frawesomeness… I just couldn’t stop watching!
I’ve been quite locked up in my home studio lately. Trying to figure out what it is God wants to say through me. After a chat with one of my currently unofficial “advisors” earlier this week, I was reminded that this thing that I do, music, is not about me. I’m just the tool, or weapon, if you will, being used by somebody much more powerful who has much more important things to say than I.
Pray that God would reveal his word to me so that I can relay it onto those who need to hear it.
