New Year, New Dreams?

This new year has me thinking alot about the coming months and what they might bring. I'm really confused about where to go with certain situations and it's creating a little stress in my life. It's also obvious that there's not much I can do to control most of what will happen so it would do me good to not think too much about it. I find that encouraging myself works for the most part and having people around me that are supportive definitely helps. Being uncertain has never been one of my best qualities.......maybe that's why it's being tested!

A few months ago I felt that some changes were coming, I just wasn't prepared for the ones that came. It just goes to show how life is never what you expect it to be and rarely what you planned for. That's why making the best of today seems the only logical thing to do.

Winter in Nevada County

There's lots of snow on the ground now. It doesn't happen as much as it used to around here. Maybe global warming is playing a part if you believe in that stuff. This will probably be a slow week for work because of the weather. I guess I'll just wait it out at home.......

Here's a photo of the backyard.

Modern Prophetic Praise and Worship

I've noticed a lot of new worship leaders in the prophetic realm and there seems to be just as much skepticism over whether these musicians are being lead of the Spirit or are just plain irreverent. I'm not sure I want to judge anyone's worship unless it is obviously against God in some way. Personally I enjoy some of these new worshipers and their passion that's being expressed. It seems like we need more people who are willing to push the envelope instead of being "radio friendly" in their worship. Lately I've really been getting into stuff by Rick Pino and Misty Edwards because you can actually feel the Spirit while listening to their music. That's the kind of music I want to make. Something that goes beyond sounding nice like ear candy and actually moves you deeply emotionally and spiritually. That's the kind of worship music this generation needs in order to connect with the Lord on a real level. I pray that this year we will all desire more passion in our worship of God and our pursuit to know Him!
