June 11th concert night

This June 11th I will be playing at the Freedom center church in Fenton Mi.

It is a free event and there will be some CDs given away.

Church website: tfconline.org

it will start at 7 and they will be all original songs!

To be trusted.

God has really been emphasising the idea of faithfulness and being trustworthy.

I want to be trusted........and worthy of trust.

I want to be faithful.

No matter what I do. No matter what God assigns me to.

Big or small.

If I am faithful with what He has given, I will be rewarded fully.

Nothing will be withheld from me. Nothing.

Where is my reward? Is it in being seen and recognized by men?

Or is my reward with Him and in Him and His pleasure......in heaven?

How to have fun.

I look at all my peers......or those around me, and it seems like they
know how to have fun.

Sometimes I feel really serious and that I am not like I used to be.

But life for me is very intense.
Intense joy..........and intense deepness.

Sometimes I feel like a man who could die any day and I know it.

This puts a soberness in me because I know that all I do counts before the One
I am soon to stand before (real soon).

But I feel more alive and meaningful than I ever did.

Even more than when I was a child.

God is wonderful!

His will my food

"If my food is to do His will"...........He will not let me starve.

He will teach me how to eat.

For each age requires a new eating edicate that must be taught by the parents.

His mercy keeps us

At the house I am living at they have a huge back yard, about and acre or so. Covered in green grass. Some trees. The home owner owns a black dog named Caleb (which actually means dog I think), who is a puppy.....but a big one. He loves going outside instead of being locked inside of the bedroom, and when Matt, my roommate, when he comes home he brings him out. I just heard him barking, and I looked out the window at him, and there he was. Chained up to a leash thingy. All that room to play and explore, but chained up. What limitations! That dog was meant to roam and run and play. And such a big green yard! But its really for his good. You see there is a world out there that he could get lost in, and possibly get hit by a car. Caleb knows how to jump the fence.......he has many times. So because of his masters love and enjoyment in Caleb, he keeps him limited in his freedom....which really is freedom indeed for him in his state.

There are things that God uses in our lives, not as restricting (yet for others yes) to keep us in His care.....for without His keeping grace, we get ourselves into a lot of trouble. I am grateful for His keeping mercy. Yet for us......He longs to give us understanding. That we may by His ability keep ourselves by obeying Him.




"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.......
I will guide you with My eye.....

Do not be like the horse or the mule....which have no understanding
Which must be harnessed with a bit and bridle
Else they will not come near you...." Psalm 32:8-9

A Day coming when no more can be done.

I was just in a Misty Edwards set, and she was just praying out.

I felt like I was transported to another realm.

It was like I was in the end of the world......and I realised that I couldn't do anymore.


I realized that the things I thought mattered, didn't.

What people think of me......what my status is.

Really all I could do is wish I had something to lay at Jesus' feet that would be worthy of Him.

That Day is coming soon.........to Him it is like already at the door.

Its good to be alive and be able to move.......because the Day is coming where no more can be done.

Abiding In His Communication (His Word)

I think I'm gonna start writing.......about Him.

About who He is in my little life....a life that He saved.

If you know God, its because He made the effort first to contact you.

He made you.....formed you...........you are His idea.

In our world we think of it as just that......our world. Our life. Our body.

When in reality........this is His world.....His creation......His universe.

When He contacted you.......He showed you that He is light and life in the midst 

of this dark and broken world. He fills the void and empty spot deep inside, and 

nothing compares to Him.

But when He came to us, He didn't leave us there......but He told us to "follow Him".

This has been my story. And I know its all our story.

When I chose to follow Him, "abiding" in His revelation to me, the supernatural happens.

When I don't, I eventually know I missed it somewhere, and a cry rises to the only one

who can save me from my brokenness and find me when I am lost. (when I am not on

the same page with Him I am always lost).

I just talked to a friend today and he told me that God gave him a dream 5 years ago that

someone gave him $10,000 to buy a car. At the time he was homeless sleeping in the woods

and going full time to the international house of prayer in kansas city MO. He believed God

called him to be like a levite and not work a job.......but be a prayer missonary.

I really questioned him at one point, but now I believe God does call people like that.

Today he told me someone just gave him $8,000 and last month that same guy gave him

$2,000!!

But between 5 years and today there was probably alot of testing and trying.

But as he abided........he is seeing the fruit of trusting God.

Where have I not abided and not trusted Him......thus not reaping any benifits He wanted 

to bring me into? And you?
