Overwhelmed.
Today has been a day like no other, nearly 100 people that we don’t even know gave generously to help fund my bands/ministry full-length record. Words can’t describe the accomplishment of these people, and most importantly the accomplishment of what God did today. The amount of trust and ownership in this project these people have is bewildering in my mind, in the best way possible.
I can’t say enough about what it takes to make a financial sacrifice like this, and I should be stoned if this money went to any of our personal gain. People sewing into this ministry, gives me a renewed vision on why we do this and why it seems so hard sometimes. This shouldn’t be easy, there should be no easy road to travel because it sharpens us like knives in preparation of sharing truth with people all over the world.
I doubt myself at times thinking, “no band could seriously have that kind of impact” and I realize that statement is true; because this is a divine appointment the Lord has brought us to. At some points it’s not even about the music at all, it’s about broken people that are searching for purpose, for truth, for love and we get to direct people to a Heavenly Father that loves us so much!
Receiving this gift is better than any record deal, reinstating my aspirations of fame and fortune were thrown away long ago. If it’s not for His Kingdom, I don’t want a part of it!
My heart is burning for the youth of this nation to come out of hiding, to address this identity crisis in Young America! We need to step up, and take a stand, God gave us these opportunities and I should hope we would leave each day as though we knew his beloved would parish without ever have know him. Our heart beats for the lost and the broken, because in some regard we are just as broken and lost at times in our own lives. We aren’t afraid to hide from the truth, or to hide anything from the listener. The time has come to finally turn this dream into a reality, God has made this very evident today and the days leading up to it.
To all whom have given, with the utmost sincerity I scream Hallalujah and so many blessings in return to you. This has become OUR journey, you are OUR family just as much as we are yours and we love you all. I’m deeply touched and moved by the miracle that took place today, I would argue it’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever witnessed.
For His Glory, and not our own.
