He's my Healer!

A few weeks ago I had strep throat. It was the first time in my whole life that I've had strep. If you have never had it let me be the first to tell you, you should thank Jesus for that right now! I've had pneumonia before and let me tell ya pneumonia has nothing on strep throat.

At the time I felt like strep might have been the end of me. But thank the Lord he had another plan for me. During this time a great friend of mine called and said he had tickets to a worship event in Atlanta for Friday and wanted to know if I would be interested in going. And of course I said "Yes!" And I'm forever grateful that I went. While I was there something amazing happened. As I worshipped God came down and healed me! It was truly incredible!

Here's a line up of the worship leaders that lead Glorious night in Atlanta:
Byron Cage
William Murphy
Israel Houghton
Kevin LeVar
Smokie Norful
James Fortune & Fiya
Tamela Mann
Dewayne Woods
Brian Courtney Wilson

He's and Awesome Healer!!!

Renewed Vision... A Journey To A Healthier Me

Many of you know that a few months ago I made a pledge to loose weight. I'm not going to lie when I made the pledge it seemed simple. Just eat right and go running everyday, or as close to everyday as possible. So I started on my journey and at first I was all about it and doing great. But what most of you don't know is I played baseball in high school and still suffer from a few of the injuries that occurred back in the day. Thus leaving my body in a few different aches and pains at different times through out the month. When all of this happened my running commitment dropped tremendously, not to mention that I was on the road at the time also.

Thankfully this Christmas I got a membership to the gym!!! Just what I asked for! So now even if my body hurts to much to go running. I can ride the bike and lift weights. If you can't tell I'm excited about this. Then just trust me, I'm thrilled about this!

Oh yeah, did I mention I still managed to loose 15 Lbs. without really exercising like I wanted too! Ha, that just proves God is able to do anything!

Happy New Years!!!

Built Just For Me!!!

I have a really close friend who recently started his own Guitar making company (Beck Guitars). This is the beautiful Guitar he built just for me. I can honestly say there will never be another one like it. It's the best sounding guitar I have ever heard. And when you hear it coming through the speakers at you're church you will love it just as much as I do!

While in Illinois I received an awesome gift from some very sweet friends. They bought me train tickets to Lincoln, IL. Where the picture above of Matthew was taken. This trip was special for a number of different reasons. But I'm only going to list a few... Not only was this my first ever trip taken by train but I had awesome friends / family surrounding me the whole trip. And did I mention how much I just love my friends in Lincoln, IL!

Just wanted to send you a much needed update!

The Summer of 2009

It's crazy how God will allow you to do things that you never dreamed or thought you would do. And this summer was just another example of that. I had the awesome privilege of leading worship for a ton of summer camps. Which covered a broad range of denominations and displayed the beauty of Christ! Seeing the different characteristics of God's personality, there's nothing quite like it! Here are two pics from the final night of summer camps for the band and I in Butler, Ohio.

You can tell we are happy, yet very tired!

One Love,
Shea
