September 2016
You haven't heard much from me lately. I haven't uploaded a video or audio. I haven't posted a long article. And I haven't asked Incubator to send out an email to you. I apologize for the silence.
There's no such thing as silence. God is always whispering.
While I don't believe that I am experiencing a "dark night of the soul," I do feel somewhat hollow. Perhaps some would label it depression. I feel a bit like I'm just "getting by," I'm just "biding my time." I wake up in the morning and wonder why. I have trouble focusing. I need prayer.
I know that God set me on this path to have this special ministry with Incubator's help, and with your help... one that would have me delve into the deep parts of myself and find unpolished gemstones that I could bring up to the surface and share with others... one that would have me use my creativity and musical talent to bring others into my tent so we could experience koinonia and bring out the best in one another by helping one another become better reflections of Christ.
So I'm not giving up. And I hope you won't give up on me. Yes, I'm in a cave. But caves are glorious places for finding unpolished gemstones.
Meanwhile, I continue to use my music in the usual ways, through the several ministries I'm involved with. And I continue to work on the projects Incubator sets before me.... even though I often ask them to move the deadline a little further down the road. ;)
And they are there for me. I share a lot of the deep stuff with them.... even the grimy, dusty things I encounter in the darkest crevices of the cave... things I don't share with most of my friends. They shine a light for me. They remind me who I am. I cherish their leadership and guidance.
So, I'm sending you a message from inside the Hollow Place: I am still here. God is still good.
