It Just Takes A Spark...

I was thinking about what to title this blog... fanning the flame or something like that... I went with it just takes a spark partially because of the record label I work with called Spark Recordings. The idea is that I can hopefully be a spark that will ignite others to passionately follow after God whether it be through music, friendship, teaching, serving... or through sharing how God has used me in specific times... I had the opportunity to share in chapel during missions week at Chapel Christian School recently. I was asked to share about my missions trip to Greece with these elementary school kids. It was kind of fun, kind of weird. About 20 years ago, I was sitting right there in those very seats listening to someone else speak in chapel. Ahh... nostalgia... Anyways, it was exciting to be able to share about what God was doing and how I was able to be a part of it and that they could too. Several of the teachers commented on how excited the kids were that I was coming. I was the only male speaker that week and relatively younger as well. I hope and pray that I was able to be a real encouragement to these kids. Even at this young age, may they grow inflamed in a passion for God and serving him. One is never too young to be used by God and to know his love...
Here is a letter that was given to me not too long after the chapel:

It made me smile... God is probably smiling too...
