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 looking forward to sharing more of what's coming in our journey.

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 ...

Hello

Hello . This is just a simple update. We are excited for the things that the Lord is doing in our lives and has been for the last few months. And most of it isn't even musical! He is forming models of Kingdom residents out of us. Our hope is that he never stops pouring into us and that we never close 1 molecule of ourselves off to His amazing work. God has not lead us onto a busy path with performance after performance or talk after talk. He has given us snippets of the possibilities such as a traveler who takes his time getting to know the people he meets traveling through the many towns. We have met more than amazing people. We have met some really interesting and exciting ideas for how we can reach others with the gospel, new ways to look at our health and bodies, new ways to look at nature and God's creation (mostly through disc golf). God is always making things new and refreshing. He does this mostly by opening our eyes little by little to his vision for Him and us. It...

We live a Victorious Life

Today was pretty awesome. If you're alive in Christ, every day is pretty awesome if you reflect and meditate. But even in the context of awesome days, this Sunday stands out. Today was a divine appointment in which reflecting on it is almost overwhelming. So much happened that I almost don't feel like typing it all out. But you must know that the Kingdom is being advanced. Three weeks ago Pastor Howard Williams invited On Our Hearts to present the gospel at Victorious Life Christian Center in Tamarack Circle, Columbus, Ohio. Dave and I didn't know what to expect. We had never met the people of this church and only I had the privilege of meeting Pastor Howard previously. Last night we spent nearly three hours practicing, praying, and touching on the implications of scripture we so desperately felt needed to be heard. It was so cool to see how God was organizing our thoughts and guiding us despite our imperfect but hungry vessels. It didn't matter what we wer...
