It’s 10:00 on a Sunday night and i’m am the most fulfilling kind of tired in the world. We were on the road for the past 5 days and it was an amazing experience full of fellowship, challenge, encouragement, God, teaching and, of course, music. I absolutely love my job and this season of life but right now i am straight up pooped.
We started on Wednesday evening at Peachtree City United Methodist Church in Atlanta, jamin with the middle schoolers at their Wednesday night service. If there are any Peachtree City UMC middle school kids out there; you guys are NUTS!! We had a blast there, packed up and headed to Birmingham, AL where we spent the night with our good friend Troy Gambrell cause we were leading at his church on thursday night. Had some Waffle House fellowship and went to his house and crashed.
Thursday night was a BLAST!!! We got to share a night with my bro and his band. We opened up the night and they closed it out. We had so much stinkin fun with these guys and it was SO cool to play with them and to be challenged by the way they worship and play music. They rocked the house! I mean, whoa. I’m learning that I AM NOT my brother and God doesn’t want me to be my brother, God wants me to be Brett, God wants me to lead like Brett and he has specifically made me different than every single person in this world and he wants me to lead from that place. I got some great challenge and encouragement from Kristian at the end of the night and you know those conversations that you will never forget because it changes the way you look at everything and the way you do what you do? This was one of those conversations.
The next day, friday, we got up, packed up the car and headed to Brevard, NC. It was an interesting car ride with a tire leak fiasco, traffic, and good talks with Anders… he’s great! We were in Brevard this weekend for this event called the MOVEment on saturday night in honor of Jessie Garren who, as a 17 year old girl, battled cancer and passed last September but has touched so many people with her story. Saturday night was a such a great night. The Lord was there and was glorified, He is so good and really showed up in power, and it really feels like we’re coming together as a band and that’s always fun, we’re finding our sound and getting creative with the gifts we’ve been given. Something that we’re all learning together is the truth that God has gifted us and trusted us with something special and we need to be confident in that and lead from that place. No more timidity or shame, we need to boldly and fearlessly lead the people that God has trusted us to lead wherever that may be. Saturday night we all had that in mind and we felt our giftings being used to their full potential.
These past couple days were just such a blessing, from the people we met to the things we were taught, and God is so good to allow us to do this. I don’t know why but for some reason he has chosen us to do it and we’re following him with all we got.
So there’s an update, long i know but there’s a lot to share. Some more details:
1. I got a new guitar.
2. Anders got a puppy.
3. Bobby got a frog.
4. Bassist is Sasquatch.
(Ok only one of these is true)
