"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; the will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:31

God is Good!

God is so good! We had a show just the other night in Murfreesboro, TN. Over 900 people attended this event. Over 180 people made commitments for Christ! Over 300 people put on rings and made commitments to purity. Those are some awesome numbers! And that is all God's work right there, all of it done by Him and for Him. I just feel so privileged to be here...

Today we travelled to Knoxville, TN where we're going to stay until Sunday to help out with the Knoxville Leadership Foundation. Gonna be a pretty chill week, we don't have another show until next Wednesday, 9/1. Looking forward to relaxing and doing some bonding with the team :-)

So, in my devotional I read something titled "Unafraid to Fail." The verse used was Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
I love this verse. It seems so simple, yet it is so incredibly powerful! We are told not to be afraid because the Lord has got our back! This goes back to the verse, too, about 'if God is for us, who shall be against us?' What an amazing thing to think about and try to wrap our minds around...the omnipotent, omniscient God is with me, with you, wherever we go. Now, if that doesn't put your mind at ease, I'm not sure what will ;-)
We cannot be afraid to go about our daily lives and screw up every once in a while. It's going to happen...it's inevitable. Setbacks will happen, troubles will come, the waters will rise, but the Lord my God is with me wherever I go, so why should I be afraid? Why should you be afraid? Oh wait...we SHOULD NOT be afraid!! Amen!

Just a little somethin' that was on my heart :-)
Love y'all!
