Yesterday, I had an epiphany of sorts, while I was talking with a friend about his future and the desires he has for his life. I started thinking about amazing people I know, literally scattered throughout the whole world! Really, it was a crazy thought. I know amazing people on each continent! How cool is that?!?! One of those amazing people I met through a dear friend, Andy Garrett, is Phil Wing. Phil is a worship pastor back in Ohio, and him I met in at the Garrett Wedding, a few years back.

Well, Phil has released an EP and all of the proceeds are going to fund the adoption of their Children from Ethiopia. Did I mention ALL the proceeds are going to fund this? A 100%! I know the times are tough, but we all like good music, and how cool is it that we can get some good music and also help with a great cause! Click HERE to learn more about their adoption and ways you can donate outside of buying an EP. I will be purchasing one soon! Join me!

Have a listen….

Here is a moving video, that Phil posted on their adoption blog:

One of the reasons I was stoked to make it back to Prague, after our conference this week, was to download the newest album, from The Fray. It hasn’t disappointed! I chose to spend a couple more dollars, so that I could get the music videos and the making of vids too. Because I just love that stuff. I love watching how the creative process for others unfolds. It’s amazing. I wanted to post the video from the newest single, You Found Me, sure enough it’s on youtube, but sadly embedding it was disabled of the actual video, so I posted the acoustic version above, but click HERE to see the whole music video. Beautiful stuff and a song that really speaks to the ‘inbetween world’ we live in. So good….

It snowed here yesterday, which was beautiful, but with the snow and the cold comes longing for the warmth. I thought I’d share this picture and the lyrics to a song that I listened to yesterday, that brought encouragement to my soul. May your heart, and my heart, be melted today by the only one who can truly warm it, Jesus.

Winter by Shawn McDonald
Sometimes I feel like winter, cold I feel
Icicles are forming; It’s hard to tell what is real
Cold winter, cold winter day
Frost is on the windshield and it’s hard to see
The air is like slivers and it’s hard to breathe
It’s a cold winter, cold winter day

Warm me up inside
And let Your face from me not hide
‘Cause You are what I long to find
To melt this cold heart of mine
‘Cause when You are around
I am found

Sometimes I feel like the prodigal, a wandering weary son
Gone in search of something beautiful,
something to make me one
It’s a cold winter, cold winter day
The world is full of lies that will only rob you blind
Hit ya’ when you are not looking, and steal away your time
It’s a cold winter, cold winter day

Warm me up inside
And let Your face from me not hide
‘Cause You are what I long to find
To melt this cold heart of mine
‘Cause when You are around
I am found

Warm me up inside
And let Your face from me not hide
‘Cause You are what I long to find
To melt this cold heart of mine
‘Cause when You are around
‘Cause when You are around
When You are around
I am found

So write now I’m sitting here enjoying one of these:

Yummy… They just switched to the Christmas cups and I was compelled to enjoy one! I guess… So I’m in between my Czech class and doing some prep for a sermon I’m doing at church this weekend, and I thought I would blog some inspiration that has been in my ears over the last few days. I’m not procrastinating, I’m trying to catch my breath between things. It’s especially hard for me to transition to anything worthwhile after Czech class. In other words, Czech class kicks my butt, even when I have, the rare, good day like today! So here I am blogging wanting to share some inspiration with you. This inspiration comes in the form of 3 songs, here you go:
