Wrapping up the semester...looking to the new year

So it's official...my brain never really stops. I just wrapped up my latest semester at Missouri Baptist University and I am SO glad to be done right now. It's been a long year and I'm glad to see it coming to a close. However, now that I have the time to not think about school, I am now thinking about the other things that I have going in my life. For instance, worship180.org is about to blow my head up because I haven't had the time to get all this stuff out. I'm excited about it all, though. First things first, I'm getting ready to start working on a Spring/Summer Concert Series. I realized that one of the ways to get myself out there is to get myself out there. What does that mean? It means that I can get any exposure by sitting in my office trying to make everything perfect. I have to go for it and let God handle the rest. That's the first thing that I'm working on right now. In the nearer future, I am working on a project with my friend, Brittany Howard. We want to create a forum for writers to be able to come together and share their stories through music. We came up with the idea pretty much right before school ended. We are wanting to jump on things and get it moving, though.

In other news, I am continuing to try and understand what it is that God is wanting me to do. I have always wanted to be more than just an artist, and I am starting to see some things open up for me to be more than just an artist. I want to build relationships with Christians and non-Christians alike. I am praying that God will help me to develop this thought and give me the boldness to take this step. Being a bridge between the church and the world can be beneficial, but I'm sure it can be tough and maybe dangerous.

In Revelation, John was getting ready to worship this angel because of all the stuff that he had just seen. The angel stopped him and said "Worship God." That has stuck with me ever since I read it. I want to be able to worship God with my music, my relationships, my everything. So as I start to move forward with all of this stuff, I want it to be worship to God. When I go out in the world, I want them to be able to see that I'm doing something different than they are. I want my life to be a testimony of God's love. That means to me that worship has to be my lifestyle. That means I have to let God redefine me...

Worship180 Update

So, I've decided that I want to make sure that I keep people updated on what's going on. As I've been thinking and praying about how this thing will unfold, I've really seen God work in my heart and mind. So here's what I have so far...
I sat down with my wife the other night and she helped me think. She thought that I needed a tag line that would be easy to communicate. After much thesaurus searching and an extensive trip through the dictionary, we came up with this idea.

Worship180- Encountering the Savior, Enriching the Community, Engaging the World. I think it works and we're going to use it. Let me know what you think about it. I will expound on it all when I have more time, but hey, I've got finals coming up!
