This is something I wrote during December Retreat for the NET Teams this past year.

I desire You. Not what you can do, not what you can’t do. I only desire you, with your whole heart, mind and soul. Return to Me! I am your Creator, your source of life, your all and still I crave You and I must have your heart. There is nothing I wouldn’t do. How can I make you feel My love if you’ve given up hope of feeling anything? Without hope I can be nothing to you. You must have hope in Me!
Your struggles and your joys; neither are your own!

Yesterday was one of the strangest days in sports history.

I should have known something was up when College Gameday came on. All they could talk about was how silly it was these big powerhouse schools were playing cupcake opponents. Apparently some of those cupcakes were a little harder to chew than some thought. (more…)

Tonight I am in an interesting situation. It is 10:00 and I have nothing to do.

Tonight is one of those cherished few moments when I’ve finished all I have to do for the day and I’m not quite ready for bed yet; so instead, I blog.

And here’s what he said…

You ever have one of those mornings where you look back on everything you once were and realize it’s nothing you are now? Welcome to my Saturday Morning.

I went to Adoration this morning and just felt Him stronger than I have in a while. After spending sometime in silence just looking at Him and listening, I felt like I was supposed to listen to some music. I put on a Reflection Playlist I have on my iPod and a couple of songs came on that really took me to some key moments in my conversion.

The first was King of Glory by Third Day . This is a song that really meant a lot to me in College. It was the first time I heard a song that made me truly think about His glory and His majesty as a King; My King. We used it as the Entrance song for a retreat I did with the youth group I helped with in Tallahassee. I still remember how that song really made me start to comprehend the incomprehensible.

Next was a Switchfoot double-play. Dare You To Move and This Is Your Life. These two songs brought me to a darkened Highway 80 on my way to Clewiston, FL. I was driving for a meeting with the City Council the next morning and was having some good alone time. Those two songs came on like a 1-2 punch to the face. That’s one of the first times I really gave into God calling. I knew there was something else I was supposed to be doing that that who I was was not who I wanted to be.

Welcome to my conversion snapshot. Of course my conversion is much deeper and detailed but sometimes it’s the guideposts that really give us an idea of where we are and where we’ve been.

When you’re head down fighting through all the muck, we don’t have time to necessarily see the big picture. When we have a moment to stop, take a breath and look back at where we’ve been, you can see the bigger moments that God has put in our lives to help us guide through.

Are you head down? or are you at a point God is ready for you to breathe and look back on where you’ve come from?

Think about it. As for me, I’m gonna turn my face back toward the Son and see what might be next.

Switchfoot’s new video features Tallahassee Native Tony Hale. Most of you know Tony as Buster Bluth from Arrested Development

Enjoy!

HE ROSE!

Death, you shall die in me;

hell, you shall be destroyed by me.

Alleluia

I feel great. God has surely been blessing me with some amazing people and gifts in my life. Today alone I’ve had at least 10 different moments where I’ve seen him completely at work.

If it’s you I’m talkin about, you probably know. If you don’t think it’s you… you bless me anyway. Come talk to me so I can prove it.

 God Bless
