Houston, TX
So yesterday we had an off day which was well needed! I got to talk on the phone with a Pastor I really look up to name Dr. Mike Brown, I had a bible study, studying Matthew and the time where Jesus and Peter walked on water..
I worked a lot on Heart Support and connecting with family and friends on the phone. It was a much needed day off, but today was really packed!
I woke up and went to the gym with Dustin, Matt and Brandon and Dustin and I worked out together. That guy is all about lifting and pushing the limits with his weight lifting. I learned quite a lot from him and am excited to workout with him again!
After that Matt and I went to a Houston Rockets game! They were playing Milwaukee Bucks... I've never been to an NBA game before so it was a really cool experience! Matt and I cheered for the Rockets, however I don' t think they won...
After rocking the stage at the House of Blues, I went to the merch area and hung out with the kids. One kid asked me to pray for his band because tomorrow they are recording songs in the studio.
Another kid wrote me a letter.. The letter came from a kid named Matt Rochard...
I can't get into the details of the letter but it was very heart felt and I'd love to talk more with you Matt. You aren't just some normal kid.. their is no such thing, and I respect you writing me a letter. I like that. I will be emailing you.
I also met a father with his son and his friend who prayed over me tonight for being a follower of Christ and praying that I stay strong with the Lord.. as he was praying over me... i really realized how important prayer is and that because of so many people praying for me for certain things I believe it has truly benefited my life in guidance and understanding AND in speaking things over my life through Christ.. Pretty amazing.. Never thought I'd have church and play a show in and at the same place.
I spent an hour and 20 minutes at the merch table tonight with kids.. I was exhausted from playing 15 songs... but it was worth every minute because of the way these kids have influenced me and how i've been able to have God use me to inspire them... it's a relationship that is worth so much in my eyes.
Thanks fans, friends, and family... God Bless.
