ONE RED PILOT

Taylor 714ce with the Expression system. Western Red Cedar top, Indian Rosewood back and sides. Click HERE for the write up and specs on the guitar.

I bought it new about 5 years ago. I played it weekly until last year when I bought a new guitar. It’s been case kept this past year and has only come out a handful of times. It has one small nick on the back but it doesn’t affect the sound quality at all. I was hoping to get in the ballpark of $1799 for it…but make me an offer. My email is in the side bar, let me know if you’re interested!! It really is a beautiful guitar…

I’m sitting at Starbucks in Birkdale Village catching up on blogs, growing my addiction to Viva la Vida, and trying to shake the Church hangover with a Double Shot on Ice. As I sit here it’s hitting me so hard how much these people need a real hardcore Jesus shot. The mom who continues to speak to her son through gritted teeth is showing her disgust with life and needs to know Jesus is her man and her sons daddy. The girl who walked in showing way to much of herself at 9:30 in the morning needs to hear how beautiful Jesus thinks she is and that she doesn’t need to dress like that to gain the attention of guys who will continue to destroy her self-worth. The 25 year old guy who is wearing a suit and tie hoping to land his next sales pitch so he’ll look “successful” to his old man, but inside all he wants to do is rip off that tie, jump back in his 4runner, and disappear into the woods to go hiking needs Jesus to tell him that life is way more important than success in the eyes of man.

So how does Jesus get to these people to tell them? Me and You…

2 Timothy 1:7-8, “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord…”

Do I need to jump up on my table and start preaching the Gospel…no, but i would if God wanted me to! I’m Jesus’ hands and feet. It’s my responsibility to be ready at all times to tell people about Him…

Jesus make me as ready as a soldier to war and fight for the expansion of Your Kingdom. If You’re going to work a miracle in the lives of any of these people…work it through me!!

I pray this same prayer for you…

In Carrie and I’s 5 years we’ve never owned a house. It’s been a dream of ours to eventually have a house we call “home”. For a while in the past year we wondered if that would ever be a dream that came true…well the dream has begun. Just a few weeks ago we put some money down to start building our first home!! The other night we went over to what we now call our “dirt” and had dinner. As we pulled up this is what we saw:

I can’t tell you how excited the Davis Family is about our “dirt”. I’m so grateful to God for hearing the cries of a wife asking for a “nest” to call her own and for hearing the begging of a husband to be the provider he has always dreamt of being.

Thank you God for being true to the name “Jehovah Jireh”. May we continue to give thanks everyday while this house is built and everyday we spend inside of it!

Wade joye is the Worship Pastor at Elevation Church here in Charlotte…his twin baby girls were just born 3 months premature and are facing a few complications….read more HERE

If you have a blog platform I ask you to post this prayer request and stand in the gap for Wade and his family.

Right next door to our new apt in Charlotte is an outdoor mall called Birkdale Village. I was at Starbucks this morning after a meeting and I wanted to do some work. I asked where there was free wifi and I was directed about 6 doors down to Cafe Mia. So, here I sit for the next few hours, outside, in beautiful 80 degree weather preparing for rehearsal tonight…I love my new city.

Due to the craziness of my life right now my blogging frequency has suffered. As a result my daily visitations have greatly decreased. SO, in an effort to keep my readers here at One Red Pilot I’m going to get back in the saddle. I’ve put together a schedule to make my blogging more active…I’ve got the Worship Confessionals coming back, My Sunday Select, and I’m going try a few new things.

So STAY WITH ME FRIENDS!

Well, we are here. We made the move to Charlotte, NC. We are currently staying with some great friends who are putting us up while we hunt to buy a house. Please pray the home buying process goes quick and smoothly for us. I’m soooo ready to put my family in OUR home.

I lead worship for the first time at Mosaic this Sunday and I can’t wait.  I’m so excited about the  places God wants to take this body in corporate worship and it starts this weekend! My blogs may be sporatic for a short time while I settle in but stick with me.

any of you made HUGE life transitions lately?

HER side of the shower..

MY side of the shower

Can someone please explain this to me. We’ve been married 5 years, my mom was a single mom, I had a sister, and I have 4 aunts. I’ve grown up around women my whole life but I still don’t understand this.

I have driven the stretch from Charleston, SC to Charlotte, NC more in the past 3 weeks than I did in all of 2007. We been taking trips to house hunt and such hoping each time to come back to Charleston with a place to move but all we’ve come back with is empty hands. This weekend was the same. We have some possibilities and we are a few steps closer to our home, but nothing in stone yet. The Lord gave us some great hope through Naeem’s message this morning that was so timely to the situation as well. So….keep praying for our hearts desire to be fulfilled but more than that, The Lord’s will to be done…

OK, we’ve been trying to find a house to rent in Charlotte, NC. We are getting close but we haven’t hit the bullseye yet. Here’s what we need…

- A house, preferably not a townhome, apartment, or duplex

- at least 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths

- Huntersville area of Charlotte

- would like a garage and a yard of some sort

- good neighborhood for kids

We do have a budget but I’m not putting that on here. If you know of ANYTHING please email me, my address is in the sidebar.
