It's Interesting.........

Life on the road. The Christian Industry. Management. Culture. Labels. Relationships. Music. Business. God.
I am in the process of experiencing all of these things slammed together in a way that often is very chaotic.
I thought i would take some time a few days a week and share with you a little bit about what I am learning.

My heart has been heavy lately. I don't exactly how to explain it. I think in the midst of so many blessings and excitement
I often feel alone. Being on the road without my wife has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I can't wait for
October when we will finally be able to be together on the road. It's kind of funny looking back at all the sacrifices and hardships we have been through together we both still have so much joy. There is definitely a difference between happiness and joy. Disneyland, clothes, good coffee bring happiness but joy can only come from following the voice of God by faith. I believe an anything in life it's imperative to know the call of God. There is no way I would continue to be involved in this industry not knowing it was God's plan for this season of my life. You know it's funny I never wanted to do this but in the midst of the trials I do find so much joy knowing my life is more then a day job. A life of faith is one of the most freeing and frustrating things all at the same time. Live a life of faith today. It's not easy.

"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" Jer 33:3

Love Somebody,

That part reminded me of how your Dad tells us that being a pastor was never in his mind of things he would do, but that he follows the Lord. (And, we're sooo glad he does!)

You both are a fabulous example of putting your own desires aside to instead follow the Lord's guiding. And because of doing that, you've both blessed so many lives..and, I believe, found joy in the life He has given you.

May your life continue to be filled with JOY as you continue on your journey!
