Get Wrecked!

It's funny...there are these two songs that have connected with my spirit like never before and I planned to post them here. The funny part is my sister did the exact same thing yesterday. Not the same songs but the same idea...great minds and all that.

The first song is "How He Loves". This song was shown to me by my wife a month or two ago, but I didn't connect with it as quickly as she did. Mostly because, being a musician first, I didn't really listen to the lyrics. However this song is one of the best written songs I have ever heard. The lyrics completely capture God for who he really is. Yesterday it came on at the afternoon prayer session at church and when the chorus hit, it completely wrecked me...I was a mass of tears being held up by a wall. There's is something so moving in knowing that you are completely and totally loved.

Jesus Culture- "How He Loves"



The second song is Holy Visitation by Eddie James. I know a lot of people have done this song, but no one, NO ONE, does it like Eddie James. If you are a worshipper(which we are all supposed to be) just the fact that you see over 40,000 going nuts for God and calling for his visitation at the same time will wreck you. This is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard, and it demands your spirit to stand at attention!

Great music to check out.

Here is a quick list of some music i've really been diggin lately, and would suggest you check out.

The Glorious Unseen- Tonight the Stars Speak

Listen Here

This is some of the most beautiful passionate worship I have ever heard! It may take some getting used to Ben's voice, but the songs are incredible!!



Shane & Shane- Pages


Listen Here

Most of my friends can't believe that I'm really into these guys, but I am. Their vocals are incredible, and I have become a much better guitarist just from listening to Shane Barnard.


Vineyard UK- All From You

Listen Here

This is my favorite new worship album. The album isn't really new but it's new to me. It really has some great simplistic songs on here.



I'll periodically put some bands and albums up here for everyone to check out.

Spring Forward!

So here we are a little more than a week into spring. Spring is known for many things, but two of those things are time change "Springing Forward", and "Spring Cleaning". Here in Florida "spring cleaning" doesn't really have the same implications as it does in the snowy regions, but we use it just the same. As most of us know "spring cleaning" is when you get out and tidy up the things you weren't able to tidy up during the cold and snowy winter months. A time where you put away the clutter of the previous season. Some things we have been discussing at our church have put these two fore mentioned "Springisms"(that is so not a word) in a whole new light for me. So I thought I would share my twist on them with you.

At our church we've been declaring "Not another lap, but Another Level!". We are also going into a season of fasting. Fasting isn't usually smiled upon by us big fellas, but I am so amped about it. Applied properly, my focus, relationship, prayer, faith, and gifting will increase dramatically. Through fasting, I am putting aside the things that control my life and submitting that time fully to God and his direction for me and my family. These are the times where we do spiritual "spring cleaning". All of this clutter from seasons past needs to be moved out of the way to make room for what God has in store for this season..or this "New Level". We are all being called to "Spring Forward", to "Reach Higher". We can't realistically expect to spring forward when we haven't done any spring cleaning.

There are a lot of changes taking place, friends moving on, relationships shifting, a little uncertainty, and it feels uncomfortable at times. But in that uncertainty there is one thing that is certain. God has a plan. He is on top of every situation, and in control. In knowing that, and knowing that my steps are ordered by him, I am excited and not afraid. So get out those brooms. Let's clear the clutter, dust everything off, and get everything in order. It is time.....
