Seek His face says my heart…

Here’s a song I wrote last year in the midst of Tim Keel announc­ing his move to New Zealand…unbelievably it’s been a year…This song speaks to me as I think about the year that has past…

I believe we have seen the many ways You are good…

in this life…in this life…in this life…

I believe we will see many things You’ve yet to do…

many things…many things…many things…”

We are still in a sea­son of wait­ing at Jacob’s Well. The wait­ing is both dif­fi­cult and good. I am thank­ful for all the great peo­ple I get to be with in the wait­ing room…

my friend Isaac…

It’s been a great month hav­ing Isaac Ander­son preach here at Jacob’s Well. One of my favorite things has been the col­lab­o­ra­tion on music. Isaac and I used to play in a band called Builder. One of the songs that Isaac wrote for that band has been res­ur­rected for his time here with us. This is my demo of the song with­out the new sec­tion he wrote for the “rant” por­tion of his ser­mon on August 1st. It was a good one, you should def­i­nitely check it out…I’ll also post up the chord chart here…Anyway, what a bless­ing to work with Isaac this month…

got the masters back

I just got the final mas­ters back from Mr. Alan Douches. They sound great. He’s done a fan­tas­tic job of get­ting the vol­ume up, yet still let­ting all the lay­ers speak. It’s fun because there are so many dif­fer­ent parts that it’s like some sort of secret sur­prise cake, one that has many fla­vors and toys hid­den thru-out…take a bite…see what you find…headphones will be a must for the best lis­ten­ing experience…I can’t wait for ya’ll to hear it…

In other recent news…I just got back from Croc, Mex­ico with my two old­est kid­dos (Cole & Macyann). It was such an eye-opening expe­ri­ence for us to see how most of the world lives. Such a con­trast to the com­fort and lux­ury that we live in here in Amer­ica. At times it was overwhelming…what do we do? There’s too much poverty for us to really make a dent…but just the sim­ple act of speak­ing with peo­ple down there…showing them that God sees them and cares for them…helping to build a house…aiding in the devel­op­ment of that community…it was good. It was still con­fus­ing com­ing home. I don’t want to live like they live, yet in a world of equity, that’s what it would be…possibly even worse…I’m not sure my comfy amer­i­can butt is ready for that…or ever will be.

I was reminded by a guy down there not to get over­whelmed, but to pray for specifics that God brings to my mind. Ask for His best for this world and to show me how I can help, even in lit­tle ways…that was good to think about…

luv to all,

mikey c.
