It Will be Worth It

Heard this song at church today, as part of a message about patient endurance. As in, trusting God knows what He is doing and that He hasn’t forgotten you, even during the low points of life and when you’re not getting the answers you’re hoping for.

Great reminder to me to keep pressing on when life doesn’t make sense, or when the answers may not seem to be coming.

At the same time today, a great opportunity to give thanks for all of the things that are coming together and the answers to prayer that have been given.

God is faithful. Keep going. Keep trusting. Keep turning to Him. The reward will be worth it, in the end.

Have a great day.

Praise Report

It’s been really cool lately to see good things happening to some of the people I love the most. After what has seemed like a long season of difficulties and struggles, I am seeing favor and blessing upon them in some pretty big ways, and I can’t hide my joy about it. It’s overwhelming to see what’s happening…in a good way.

Thanks, God, for listening to prayers and always being there.

O praise the name of the Lord our God.
O praise His name forevermore.
For endless days, we will sing Your praise,
O Lord, O Lord our God.

Perfection

Perfection is impossible. You don’t have to be perfect. Just do your best.

No, really. Just do your best. For too long, the desire to do everything perfectly ran my life. Perhaps it’s had the same effect on yours.

It’s so freeing to realize you don’t have to be perfect. We’re never gonna be anyway, so here’s to just doing our best and being at least reasonably at peace with the result.

Keep giving life your best, but don’t forget to give yourself a little grace along the way.

Have a great day!

Doug’s Banjo Tab Book, Vol 1

My friend, Doug is a talented banjo player (and a nice guy) and he recently produced a great resource for banjo players.

It’s a digital download and the download includes the following:

• 12 Licks in Key of G (tablature)
• 12 Licks in Key of D (tablature)
• 12 Licks in Key of C (tablature)
• 12 Songs

The download also includes more than 50 mp3 tracks, with tablatures done with banjo midi, and includes some of songs in full-band versions.

I wanted to share this with you, because Doug put a lot of work and a lot of heart into this project. I had the opportunity to chat with him about it the other day and if you’re a banjo player, this is a resource you will want to have.

Here is the download link. You can also purchase a USB stick version.

Oh, and here’s Doug playing banjo if you want to listen to some of his music. Hope you enjoy the banjo tab book and happy picking!
