Love you guys!

Mike and Sarah Blair were just up for a visit and we had a chance to catch some worship time on disk.  Just thought we'd share!

Blessings!

We recently played the song for youth sunday at our church and I thought it would be fun to share.  Memories . . . . . .

Much Love

Does that ever happen to you? I was taking a shower this afternoon and I was just praying about some things. I have really been humming through one of Jonathan Helser's songs where we sing "God comes down as the praises go up". It has been my heart cry. So I'm in the shower, focusing on God, humming the tune, and God spoke strongly in my spirit. I'm used to God speaking to me, but this was so strong it caught me off gaurd. God's cool like that.

He said, "I Am Coming . . ."

I have been feeling tremors in the Body of Christ for a while and I've been watching the raising up of the Nameless Faceless army. I really feel, at least in my own life, God is opening a new season of out pouring. The Lord is Coming! Get our houses in order, open up our windows, BELIEVE the word (that means to actually do what it says - THE LORD IS COMING. He's coming to flood our sanctuaries, to stir up gifts, to unleash this generation in all of it's passion and creativity, the Lord is Coming!

Go Up, Go Up, Go Up, Go Up, Go Up!

We've posted some pictures from the Be Amazed Youth Rally in Ocean City, MD back in January.  Check them out!

This Friday- some new songs - lots of new ideas, we begin the next journey into God's heart. The "Climb the Worship Tree" project has been stirring in our hearts for a long time and I feel it is fitting that in the dead of winter the seed in the ground begins it's journey towards spring. My prayer is that around March we will have the project in your hands!

Please pray for us! This disk will incorporate much soaking in the Spirit, a call to higher heights, span near 1000 miles of musicians and worshipers, and will be self produced (under the guidance of the Holy Spirit). It's time to climb.

We'll keep you posted and will give you some sneak peaks now and again. In the mean time, be sure and contact us about getting a copy of the Be Amazed EP that we put out specially for the Be Amazed Youth Rally.

God Bless

The Be Amazed youth rally was ... well ... Amazing!  It was a killer time of ministry, music, and meeting new folks!  I hope you were there!  We had a blast rocking out on the main stage and had a powerful time of worship during the morning breakout sessions!  Thanks to all of you who made it possible!

Drop us a line and let us know how your weekend was and what God did in your life!

Since we've made the trek to Delaware, I've decided to open a new personal blog page.  This myspace site and the main ministry site will run as usual, but Scott ramblings, deep thoughts, creative ideas, and random pictures of Strawberry, Flash, and the rest of us will be posted at:

Go check it out and keep up with us.  We're missing all of you!

It's been a while since we have posted any major update about Higher Place.  It has been a crazy time since the close of our summer tour.  At the end of the summer, I recieved an invitation to become the worship pastor at Eagle's Nest Fellowship in Milton, DE.  I was on my way to the church to lead worship for a meeting there and to tell them "no" when the Lord began to make it obvious that it was His idea for us to be there.  I had many questions for the Lord about what that meant for Higher Place.  As it turns out, the Lord has meant this whole move as an expansion of the ministry.  We aren't slowing down or closing down Higher Place Ministries . . . we're ramping up all the more!   Being at Eagle's Nest provides us with new ministry and training resources that we've never had.  It will expand our student intern program in a massive way, as well as, allow us to put new and more concentrated efforts into our music.  Our schedule will thin out slightly, but not much, and other areas will grow significantly.

I have spent the fall maintaining the ministry schedule and running back an forth to Delaware to get settled.  The family is officially (hallelujah!) moving up next weekend.

I should have our new CD - Be Amazed EP - in hand the first week of January.  Be on the look out to get one because they will be a limited release just for the Be Amazed Youth Rally in Ocean City, MD.  (check it out at www.pen-del.org/ypm )

The point of all of this is . . . . . . . . . . .

So often we get locked in to what we think the Lord made us for, our "purpose".  We think that it is to do this or that, but in reality, the Lord made us for Himself.  When we respond to Him by faith in Christ, he then sends us out to do the "good works prepared ahead of time in Christ Jesus".  I almost missed an amazing opportunity because I was afraid of what I might lose.  Respond to God then your steps will be ordered! "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord . . ."

We anticipate many amazing years of Higher Place Ministries, but more than that, we are looking forward to many years of serving Christ and walking with all of you!
