Talent Is Never Enough

I’m reading John Maxwell’s book “Talent Is Never Enough” and these are a few quotes that I’ve stumbled on along the way. It’s a great book for people, like me, who have big dreams and want to know the tools that will make them a reality. We all know someone who had a world of talent but ended up wasting it and did nothing with their life. I hope i’m never...

:: High's and...LOW'S ::

“My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.” -Proverbs 3: 11-12 It’s so hard not to get weary when the Lord disciplines us or to think that he doesn’t love us anymore when our world begins to fall apart; Nothing could be farther from the truth. We see...

the two six

time goes by so fast. the older i get, the faster it ticks away the one thing i love about getting older is that it’s another year that i can look back on and see God’s faithfulness. it truly amazes me. every year God reveals a little more of his character to me and it makes it easier to trust and rely on him. it’s an exciting time in my life right now. i’ve been so...

The Vine :: The Branches

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 “…apart from me you can do nothing.” Those last words are strong. I read that passage yesterday for the hundredth time, but for some reason or another, the truth of those words pierced right through my heart. My world...

Study on Proverbs

“My son give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it springs the issues of life…Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the...

: wisdom speaks :

i wrote a song based off the first three chapters of proverbs… it’s called wisdom speaks… God really encouraged me with this today and gave me a great song as well. you’re calling out our names in our cities, in our streets warning us, the simple ones, to hear you say, return to your first love the father above and turn your ways from the worthless things...

Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord; point out the right road for me to follow Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long i put my hope in you. Remember, O Lord, your unfailing love and compassion, which you have shown from long ages past. Forgive the rebellious sins of my youth; look instead through the eyes of your unfailing love, for you...

Phil 3:7-9 “But whatever gain i had, i counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, i count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake i have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that i may gain Christ and be found in him…” as i read this passage i get so inspired at the life that paul...

Good Friday

have you ever been in a worship service and opened your eyes to others around you and became jealous at their genuine worship to God? Or have you seen tears falling like rain down someone’s face as they are taking communion and wondered to yourself, “why don’t i care as much as they do, why isn’t my relationship with Christ like that, where are my tears?” ...

Continuum from Jake

I don’t know what God is doing but what i do know is that everything has been ripped from me…even my job. it is a humbling time for sure and ironically i’m learning so much about God’s goodness and his faithfulness. i’ve been reading “the shack” for the past 4 months (a.d.d.) and it’s been so good because even though the main character (Mack) and...

so...i played a show

i played a show this past saturday night and i was sick as a dog. the one thing that happens when you’re sick and have to perform a 10 song set, is that half-way through you realize that you feel miserable and that you don’t want to be there…i just wanted to go home and sleep. so, basically i thought the show went horrible but after watching the live feed it wasn’t so...

high and low

God always brings me to the place where I have to give up everything to follow him…and sometimes that is the hardest thing to do, but i’ve never once regretted it… i’ve been high and i’ve been low, but i must realize my need to stand firm in his faithfulness. i love that my God NEVER changes.
