Desperate, take a drink
I can be so desperate for something that I think I can make something happen in my own strength. There is a big difference in desperation and forcing something to happen. I think about all those times in worship leading where I've tried to make something happen out of good intentions, but ultimately it ends up being something temporal and not eternal. Being desperate is the acknowledgment of me not be being able to do it on my own. The truth is, I need intimacy with Jesus more than ever, I need a drink of living water. Jesus said this in John 7;
"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38Whoever believes in me, as[c] the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." 39By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified." We have the Holy Spirit!
May we be people who don't try to play church, may we simply thirst for intimacy with Jesus and the result is simple, out of us will flow a RIVER of living water. SO, next time you're trying to do something in your own strength, stop, worship a bit, and remember out of you flows a river of living water because you were thristy for something bigger, better, greater, and eternal. Jesus release the river of Living water from inside of us.

Sunday and the Kingdom.....
Today, was so good, we had a great day at CRCC. For those of you interested, here is the setlist.
"Better than I Know" - David Walker
"You Gave Your Life Away" - Paul Baloche
"Hosanna" - Brooke Frasier
"All I Need" - Hillsong United
And then we sang our hearts to the Lord, it was beautiful in an extended time of worship.
I really am excited about this new song "Better Than I Know" it fits perfect with our current series at CRCC.
I have enjoyed having Brandon Gilliam leading with me at CrossRoads over the past few months. I love his authenticity and his heart for worship. Today, he really impressed me, he took a step out there and played the solo in "Hosanna." I loved it, to say the least! Way to go dude! Thanks for your heart!
If you haven't checked out our new website check it out here.
Ok so my wife is doing "blog headers" now. She's really good at it, but hasn't designed me one yet. Anyway if you're looking for a cool new header you can email her here.

Wednesday Morning...
Ok, so my wife and I are down to one car right now because I am trying to sell my SUV (big time gas hog!) Needless to say this was the first day I had to get up to take her to work and I was just going to drive her in my p.j's. As we are walking out the door the doorbell rings. I thought, who could this be at this time in the morning. Well, it was two painters that I had completely forgot were supposed to do touch-up's on our house. Well, I proceeded to walk them around each room in my house with my p.j's on to point out the areas that needed touch ups. They worked it out, as I took Lauren to work.
Had lunch with Sean Sears today, he plays keyboards with me in the band. I always enjoy our time together, we talk about what the Lord is doing in our city. We long to see revival take place! He's a great web designer. He works for this company.

This Weekend, Sunday and More.....
Yo,Yo,Yo,
Here are the songs from the setlist on Sunday.....
"Sing My Love" - Sarah McMillan
"Hear Us From Heaven" - Jared Anderson
"How He Loves" - John Mark McMillan
"Healer" - Planetshakers
To say the least, Rich knocked it out of the park today with a topic that basically defines his heart for the Kingdom, this would be Prayer and Fasting.
Brandon lead with me at Youth tonight, it was nice! I hate when I break strings, but who plans that, nobody.
I saw the sorriest movie this weekend with Lauren it was called "Jumper" don't go see it, the acting is horrible, but I thought the trailer was cool, just goes to show, "don't judge a movie by it's trailer."

Today is Valentine's Day....My mom loves it...
Ok so, every year that I can remember growing up, my mom absolutely has loved Valentine's day. She used to make my brother's and I this really messy strawberry cake with "red hot's" all over the top of it, hmmmhmmm! So this morning my phone rings and my mom says, "Happy Love Day!" Then, because she's a 5K teacher she holds up the phone so all her kids can say "Happy Vanetine's Day" to me. Then she asks, if Lauren and I are pregnant! (J/K about the last part - but it would be like her).
But honestly this Valentine's Day is going to be dramatically different than anyone I've ever had because I am performing my first wedding tonight. Ahhhhh! Needless to say, I might be a little nervous. But here's the deal, my trusty friend Rich has given me this God-send book. I didn't know there was such a book that completely outlines a whole wedding and tells you exactly what to say and when to say it. It's like magical potion for someone who's doing a wedding.
I honestly thought I was going to have to google how to perform a wedding and be holding white pieces of paper in front of me I printed off the internet while performing the wedding. But with this book its like you're holding a little black bible..... I love it! And I absolutely love my beautiful wife Lauren!

Tuesday Morning Rants.
I'm just gonna shoot straight, my dignity gets in the way a lot. Never in the moment of pride do I want to get rid of it. It's only after the display of dignity do I realize it's all birthed out of a self righteousness and the approval of man.
The story of Mary anointing Jesus' feet in Simon the Pharisee's house grips me every time I read it. I want to be the Mary in this story, I want to be the one who really knows my need for a savior and realize who this Jesus really is, literally pushing religion out of the way to get to Him. Not out of pride but out of humility and brokenness. Although, the reality is, I just feel like one of the religious leaders sitting there in the room with Jesus not even knowing who He really is. As if they're trying to reason if this person really is who He says He is.
I believe we live in a world where the fear of man and our dignity take the place of faith and the presence of the Lord. When we start to lay aside the depth of our fear of man, we only want the approval of the Father. When we realize we are called "sons of God" we can do anything because we are not qualified for anything in the first place. In other words, I can never gain sonship with the Lord by doing stuff or performing, I already have this by the very nature and work of the Cross. I am Jesus's brother, co-heirs with Him. So when I stop my striving and straining I begin to see the Holy Spirit rise up and intimacy is cultivated through knowing you're a child.
So if you're a worship leader like I am, stop trying to make things happen, stop performing, stop saying clever things and developing sleek transitions so you can impress man. This can be hard I know, but when you begin to sit at the feet of the Lord throughout the week you begin to realize what you are doing on the platform is simply out of overflow, and you become concerned with one thing, being a son in your father's presence. If this happens, people will have to make a decision, to engage or not. May today be the day of great anointing and favor from the Lord by knowing you are simply a child in His presence.
