doors

I've been listening to david crowder quite a bit lately. Colleen and i both really like his music. Something is slightly different between him and most other worship music.

I've really been focusing more on worship music, and i feel that is where opportunity lies for me, not for my own advancement of course, but for serving the Lord in being in his will. I felt after the band broke up that i'd be moving more in worship, but in highly energetic worship. I'm not sure exactly how that will pan out, or how it will happen, but i know it is God, so i'm sure it's good.

Colleen and i have another awesome blessing to add to our relationship. Her name is Czech; she's a 9 week old westie puppy. She is the cutest thing i've ever seen. Here are some pictures of her crashed out on my backpack outside starbucks (she is very very well behaved). This is what colleen's face looked like when i gave her Czech.

We've been going to Pampa once a week to play worship and help with youth at the Trinity Fellowship Church there. The leaders and band are great, and we are all beginning to develop a great relationship. They are the first friends that Col and I have met as a couple and we really like all of them. It's opening some really cool doors with music. I'm looking forward to what Abba has for us.

We want to get married in Jan, but we want to have an outdoor wedding, so we're looking into the botanical gardens. We've heard some good things and some bad about doing weddings there, but i am hoping that it will be a good thing and that we can "have our cake and eat it too". I'm almost scared to see the list of invitees that we come up with, because it could be quite sizeable. The upside is that it means we have lots of good friends :)
It's been wonderful to see the things that Abba is doing in myself and in colleen. He is so good, and she is such a blessing to me. I've been praying that i can focus on all the things that need to be done before we get married, but it's so easy to just want to hang out with Col, and not "do" anything. I need His help to focus on the tasks and the blessings that come in process. I really need more business, since the band broke up i've had so much more time to do whatever i like. With all the changes ahead i really need to work more. The way my business is so sporadic is wonderful for the freedom, but the income is to flexible. I really would like to be busier. Most of the blame for not being busy really falls on me alone, because i have to get out and push for more work, and i haven't done that. I have some opportunities that have presented themselves and i just need to follow up on them. I hope that the direction the Lord is taking me in all those things is accepted and understood by my heart.
