Catching Up

So I haven't posted anything in quite a while. Mainly because there has been little to report and I'm not sure anyone is reading this anyway.

Be that as it may here are a few things going right and wrong lately.

Wrong: I went about 6 weeks with little to no work painting. I don't care who you are, that alone will impact a man's sense of strength, usefulness, and ability to provide for his family.

Right: God provides. I started a new job last week with a reputable painting company in Columbus doing the kind of work that I really enjoy. I worked in Grandview last week and Bexley this week.

I've also been working with a local Christian artist on the prospect of playing guitar with his band to promote an upcoming album. I'm truly excited. This is not a done deal so I won't mention any names here, but the recording project is very good. He's set to release a single soon that will be available on CDBaby and Amazon I think. Stay tuned for more on this.

I've also had more opportunities recently to play lead at Harvest Bible Chapel in Columbus. I've been blessed to work with Samuel Forshtay our worship pastor and a good friend. Seeing him transition into a full-time roll will be awesome.

As much fun as I am having playing lead guitar and supporting a great young worship leader, I miss leading worship. We still don't believe God is calling us to leave this area, but I'm getting anxious. I'm praying and seeking opportunities in the Columbus area to lead worship in a church plant, one that has started in the last year or will be launching in 2011.

Family is doing well. We are driving a great deal with Penny and I both working in Columbus, but we are managing at least for now. I'm not sure how long we'll be able to swing the fuel expense, but God does and I'm ready for whatever He has in store.

In Christ Alone,
Shawn
