Hi Friends,
This afternoon as I write, the January '17 chapter is coming to a close, and what an interesting month it's been. I found myself playing a couple of benefits, a recovery concert, a night of worship along with a handful of house church events, not to mention presenting and receiving and award at the Kindred Awards. I even had time to fit in a couple interviews. Yes, it's been a blessed start to the year.
A friend of mine recommended a book called '
Start' by Jon Acuff. In it there's this simple but powerful quote, "You and I can't control the finish line. But we can control the starting line." I've taken that to heart as the new year has kicked in by spending quite a few hours in the studio working on a concept album that was inspired by the works of a Philly artist, 'Thomas Eakins.' The sessions will be put on hold as I travel a bit, but the energy created by diving right into some new sounds has been exciting considering the often dreary winter season.
What is it that you haven't started yet? What is it that you need to dig into? What is it that you've been putting off? Proverbs 13:4 says, "The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich." I encourage you to start whatever it is that you need to do. Do it with God's blessing and realize your dreams... "
