Hey guys!
I am sitting here working away at booking and scheduling upcoming tours and recording dates for the upcoming album and looking out the window at a beautiful sunny day. It is so incredibly refreshing to see the sun on a winter day in Wisconsin. Sometimes we can go what seems like months without seeing it’s rays and it can have quite the depressing effect on the human spirit. So it’s awesome to see it in it’s glory……. fully knowing if I stepped outside it’s probably 0 degrees, which is not cool.
Well just finished a batch of concerts and events in Wisconsin which included a larger show in Appleton which was a blast. It is crazy to see things continue to grow and God bring more and more people out to the shows. God is truly faithful and truly insanely good. I shared some of my exciting news with that crowd, but I will share it here as well. Long story short, a major mix engineer really likes my stuff and has offered to mix my new album! He has multiple grammies and actually mixed this years album of the year by Taylor Swift. Insane. To talk to a guy like that on the phone and hear that not only does he love my stuff, but wants to give me a crazy break so he can be a part of the project is……….. amazing and truly a gift from the Lord. The doors He is opening and the events He is bring about are just simply humbling and crazy exciting. I am speechless.
Yet through it all, I am finding more and more everyday that the most amazing of events, successes, open doors, etc etc etc pale in comparison to the peace of just knowing Jesus. As amazing as successes and provision is on this earth, even the biggest ones still leave you empty. And I realize that more and more, the most success I have in music. Knowing His love, knowing His grace, and knowing my standing with Him satisfies like nothing else. And that is not just a PC things to say, it is the truth. I long so much for the whole world to know that feeling, that truth, and that God. And that is why I do what I do. That is why I persevere. That is why I continue to push, promote, book, drive etc etc. I honestly have a burning passion that will not give me relief until I reach the masses. Whether it be one at a time, or thousands at a time. We are the light of the world and the salt of the earth. And He is with us!
Today is your day to share Him with your world. Take advantage of it. There will never be another day like today.
