Smoke Clears
I snapped this picture tonight as I’m sitting out on my brother’s deck in Vancouver. It’s almost 10pm. The night is cool, and a slight breeze is lifting the scent of burning trees through the air. Reminds me of a campfire.
Nothing Wasted
What prodigal waste it appears to see scattered on the floor the bright green leaves and the bare stem bleeding in a hundred places from the sharp knife. But with a tried and trusted husbandman, there is not a random stroke in it all, nothing cut away which it would not have been a loss to keep and gain to lose. ~Amy Carmichael
No Longer a Slave
I’m super excited to be a part of a NOW (Night of Worship) event this Sunday evening, March 15. My good friend David Wilkinson invited me to be a guest singer, and we had a practice last night with the band.
Man, the songs we’re doing are so much what I need right now! I’m blown away by how GOOD God is to us! There are times when we see little glimpses of His hand of goodness even (maybe especially) in times of brokenness and pain.

Happy Thanksgiving!
There is something so incredibly powerful about thankfulness when it’s most difficult. I believe it’s an even greater battle than fighting a physical army. Not that I would know…;) But I know that it takes will power, and faith. Read More

A Poem of Salvation
In a dungeon of deep darkness
My soul bound up in chains
Fear and despair my faithful companions,
Trapped in guilt and shame
Agreeing with God
Agreeing with God
One of the greatest ways we can worship God is by agreeing with Him. If you think about it, this is the very thing that separates believers from unbelievers. Believers agree with God that: He is the only God and Creator, that His attributes listed in scripture are trustworthy and true, that Jesus is the Messiah who died for our sins and was raised to life, and His purposes and plans will unfold as He has laid out in His word. Unbelievers disagree with God about these things, and choose to follow their own inclinations. Agreeing with God leads to life, and disagreeing with God leads to death. Read More
Montreal Music Tour #2
Here I am once again at a Starbucks with Dana, trying to wrap my mind around the events of this week. Both Dana and I have said how this week has seemed so long! I think it’s because we’ve kept ourselves really busy, and we both feel very productive with all that we’ve been able to get done this week.
Montreal Music Tour #1
I’ve barely had a moment to sit down and write a blog about this tour yet!
Dana Marie and I have had so much fun so far! We began on Saturday night Read More
Waiting
My stomach is in knots, my palms are sweaty, and I feel like screaming. I want things my way, and I want to be in control.
What do you do when you are forced to wait? Perhaps there is a situation in your life that has forced you to wait. Maybe it’s a lifelong dream to become a parent, or meet the love of your life, or get that job you always wanted. Doesn’t it seem like God has forgotten about you sometimes? Read More
You Never Give Up On Me
Hey friends!
I wrote a new song today. I had a couple of people in mind as I wrote it, but mostly it’s from my own experience. To give you a bit of background, I have to tell you about another song I wrote. Read More
