Sweet Time in the near Twin Cities

Sweet Time in the near Twin Cities

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Hey yall :)

Got done with a concert and a worship event near the twin cities last weekend.  Awesome time!  That was my second time being at Hope Community Church in Cottage Grove and it a real blessing.  It is continually humbling to see that many people show up for a concert when I am so far from home.  Especially in areas I have barely been too.  Got home on sunday night just in time to see my Arizona Cardinals beat the Giants on national TV too.  Always a sweet time :) hehe.  I am getting used to the fact that they are actually good.  My whole life they have been terrible.  But I remained faithful and now it is paying off haha.

      Getting ready to lead worship at Green Lake Conference Center this weekend.  Friday through Sunday.  It’s for Exodus ministries and I am excite and interested to be a part of it.  I have heard a bit about them so it will be fun to lead them to the feet of Jesus all weekend.

     Can’t really explain it but I just feel really revived.  Excited about what God is doing not only in my ministry, but ministries all over the world.  There is a real and tangible sense of revival and spiritual awakening.  And urgency that I don’t think I have ever felt in my 29 years of life.  There is a world wide sense that our time is short.  From young to old.  Which in it of itself is not new.  People since the beginning of time have thought that they were living in the last age, which I always have thought was quite an example of how inward focused we are.  Selfish and prideful even to the point that we would all think that His return would fall in OUR lifetime.  That and just a instinctual fear of physical death and desiring to escape it. 

      But more than ever before I really feel a world wide awakening and sense things are falling into place.  Whether it happens in my lifetime or not, I kind of feel is irrelevant.  I am just excited that His hand is moving so powerfully and it is able to be seen so tangibly.  Our country is getting shaken.  Which is a good thing.  It’s funny there is so much panic and distress because of our economy and swine flu etc.  Which I am not discounting.  But compared to the majority of the world our “distress” or “emergency” is probably laughable.  Their diseases wipe out hundreds of thousands and they are powerless to stop it.  Their economies are….. well non existent and consist of what you can find that day to survive.  Yet we complain, moan and succumb to depression just because we have less than what we are use to.  It’s a real sickness.  And God is just shaking our comfort, which we desperately need.   We should be more thankful that he does not give us what we actually deserve, you know?

     I feel so incredibly blessed.  And so incredibly motivated and excited to make a difference.  One person at a time.  Or thousands at a time.  I am praying for large things, and believe He can, but trying to stay praise-full in what He has allowed so far.  Enjoy this day!!!  Praise Him for what He has given in this moment.  And pray for HIS purposes and desires today!  Your joy will increase very much :)  Love you guys.

Pondering the next step

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Hey Guys,  

Ok I am committing to blogging on here at least once a week.  I have known for a long time that I need to but I am committing to it!  So if I slack off send me an email and kick my butt into gear haha.

      So it is an interesting time in my music and ministry.  Things have grown steadily every season.  And things that seemed like only dreams a few years ago are now realities.  It’s crazy and humbling.  As some of you know I finally have my studio up and running and it is an incredible blessing.  We did most of the new EP in it and am excited to continue recording in it and expanding it for years to come.  And my heart for it goes well beyond just touching my ministry.   In addition to that to see steady growth of, and the amount of, people that follow me and my music has been incredible and humbling.  To meet and get more and more letters everyday from you guys has been amazing.  And sometimes overwhelming, but mostly amazing :)  

      With the brand new release of the Awakening EP I am starting to tour again and it is bitter sweet.  I am crazy excited to get going again and to see what God does in and through me at the shows and events.  But it can be an overwhelming time as well.   Being independent has it’s blessings and curses.  I really want to stay indi.  I love the creative control.  I love the ability to be ministry focused and to write honestly and not PC.  I love the fact that someone is not taking 80 percent of the money I make as well :) but that is another story.    

But the downside is that being completely independent means I have to wear all of the proverbial hats as well.  From writing and recording, to booking and routing, to promotion and updating, to everything else you could think of.  And I think what I am realizing is that I have reached the limit of what I can do on my own.   I really feel strongly that my ministry has a lot to offer to this world.  And I see evidence of that daily.  Things are growing.  Lives are changing.  And more people than ever are enjoying the music and sharing it with others.  It’s awesome!  

     And at the same time I have a huge desire upon my heart to reach the masses!  And I honestly believe to the depths of my heart that it would be powerful!  So I have been praying and thinking about what I can do to have things grow to that next level.  And I really feel I am just in need of some real help.  Signing with a major promotional company, bringing people on the road with me to play with me as well as minister with me.  Connecting with larger artists who believe in what God is doing through me that want to use there influence to introduce me to there followings and beyond.  Etc etc.

      I have a lot of ideas and a basic plan, unfortunately it would take some major funding to see this plan through.  And as an indi artist that’s hard to come up with.  But I KNOW it is possible.  I serve a very BIG GOD that is capable of anything.  He has provided for me incredibly and His hand has caused so many of my dreams and visions to come to fruition.   Please be in prayer with me for His provision and His hand upon my mind, heart, and life as I continue on.   And if you feel lead and are excited about what is going on with my ministry and music as well please let me know!!  There are tons of ways that you can be apart of what is happening and I would appreciate it more than you know.  WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. 

I honestly feel this is just the beginning……
