Church Was Rocking Today
I'm realizing really quickly the things at East Bayou that I'm going to miss most whenever I move to DFW.
Probably the thing I'll miss the most is just being Mike Walker's son. While I don't want to take anything I haven't earned on my own, just b/c I'm a preacher's kid, I will definitely miss being in his inner circle. Getting to meet with him in between services and talk about what we can do better for the next service and just talking about church stuff has been a blast.
And I'll miss getting to work with Ward. Ward, our music pastor, is amazing. I love just watching him sing his heart out. Not only does he have a heart and passion that is inspiring, but he also has the musci ability to ummm.... what we call.... Rock It Out! The people he uses to make up the band all are just good. From musicians to vocalists, the music here rocks! I'll miss it a ton.
Today we did a song called "Shipwreck" by a band called Starfield. It's a slow piano driven song that our drummer Bryan Pitre did. Here's the lyrics for the first part of the song. They're awesome!
"I built a fortress, with a hundred thousand faces,
I'll keep it safe, with a hundred thousand more.
But these masks are wearing thin, as You draw me in.
I spent my time on the empty and the fleeting.
I spent my life on much less than what I'd dreamed.
But I'm reaching out to You, to make me new.
'Cause I am just a beggar, here at Your door.
I am just a shipwreck here on Your shore.
I come empty handed, ready to see,
Your life in me changing who I've been,
To who I need to be."

As much as I enjoy the church I attend here, nothing has ever compared to East Bayou and Brother Mike. East Bayou was the first church I ever felt connected to and if I could've brought it with me, I would've! :-)

There are times when I really miss the bayou. What it all boils down to is East bayou is my family - I love so many people there. I'm sitting here thinking "did Abraham feel like this when he left his people to go?" However, I also know how God used him and his obedience.
