Birthdays. Everywhere. Especially today.


Today was pretty awesome. Well, with Jesus, every day is inspires awe in me. Today is my birthday as I was born from my mother's womb on April 13th, 1986 at 6:55 in the evening. But my physical birth isn't to be celebrated as much as another birth we saw happen in front of our eyes. We met a gentlemen today who came in broken mess, but left a new creation (2nd Corinthians 5:17). God called him home today and like the prodigal son, he returned and he used us to reach him. I am humbled.

 As we lead the Lima, Oh Salvation Army in worship and shared what was on our hearts, the Lord was speaking. I looked over our notes after washing and dressing and I prayed this morning that the Lord would say what he would through us. He certainly had a lot to say. We laughed, we cried, we sang, and we were very blessed.

 It's so good to know that God didn't close the curtain on our drama because of the bomb we made of it. It's good news that out of His great love for us and his riches in mercy, that he breathes life into us and equips us do his Good works and bring him glory.

 P.S. we got a lot of positive feedback on the OOH original, "Damaged". Keep your eyes and ears out for that one soon.

 We will have a YouTube channel before the week is over. Keep a look out for "vlog" entries, snippets of our worship sessions, and original tunes brought to you by what's on our hearts.

Training our hearts.

David and I are on this journey of serving within the ranks of The Salvation Army. We are learning so much. We have a lot on our hearts, and that includes you. We will be sharing those things through different mediums. We've been gathering our inspiration and our resources, drawing near to God and now we are ready to spill the beans. During my schooling/training, I've been given assignments that are creative expressions of what we are learning or developing. This is good timing as it's the first year that cadets in this school are expected to complete creative assignments, and I'm thriving in it. It excites me. I've  been able to let go of all internal inhibitions and excuses for not letting my light shine before men for the Glory of God. So having these opportunities for creative expression is like a bonus power you find in a game, right? Think mushrooms in Mario. It's very cool. He has given me talents and gifts and a soul and a song. Now we sing. I'm lo...

Things take time.

HelIo. Matt Here.    I ask my self sometimes why I even write these. Most of the time it is because I want to start something regularly, but the problem is with the consistency in which things related to this blog happen. On Our Hearts has, for the most part, only been two guys with limited resources and a plethora of distractions.    One of those distractions is being involved in training at the College for Officership Training in The Salvation Army. This means that we will be commissioned and ordained to serve in the Salvation Army as officers, pastors, accountants, statisticians, small group leaders, preachers, counselors, community specialist, ecumenical agents, worship leaders, and more. If it sounds crazy, that's because it is.    I've only understood myself to be called towards one of those. It's where my gifts, my talents, and my passions are. I also believe that it can help the world and that the world needs it, even if in small batches....
