Sorry if this messes with you a bit....

Well, I've decided to switch over my blog to Wordpress.com Sorry if this messes anyone up, I'll leave this site going for a while, but from here on out, I'll be posting over there. All the posts I have up so far have been transfered over, so you won't be missing any of my profound words. :)

Thanks!

You can.

I had the opportunity to do an IronMan a few years back. I was one of the hardest things I had ever done. But very satisfying. For those that don't know, it's a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run. Anyways, before I went to 247 and completed my race and other such things, I saw this video and it inspired me. The same way that God carries each one of us, this father carried his son to complete his sons dream. Next time you think you can't do something, try carrying someone else and lay your life down.

Cracker Barrel...

Oh man...oh man. I love Cracker Barrel. Today I had breakfast with my fam before they left back to WA. What a great way to go!

Oh those eyes...

Yes, these are the real dilated eyes of Emily. Weird. I'm glad I don't wear glasses so I don't have to look like this after a doctors appointment... :)

Fam

My mom and grandma at the Little Rock Capital...yes, they where impressed...Or so they acted.

What's your Story?

This is the title of our new sermon series for Elevation (NLC College age group) and these are the pics of what they did on the UCA Campus...

Bigger and Bigger Bubble

Yes, this has been out for a while, but I want to share it. I'm proud of where I work. Even though this may talk about growing churches, I'm proud to say it's not our focus. If people could see the hands raised at the end of each service of the people dedicating their lives for Christ, they would understand what it's truly about to see these numbers grow. Thanks volunteers and other staff members for helping make it happen. Thank you God I can be a part of it.

Help!!

                                                               Have you seen this man?

tree's falling

Well, I'm doin the random sit at a coffee shop and blog. You'd think just because I'm from the Seattle area, I would do this a lot. I think this is actually my first time. Hmmm.....what wonderful deep thoughts could I come up with at the moment? 

You know the saying "If a tree fell in the middle of the forest and no one was around, would it make a sound?" (No, your ears make create the sound by the way) Well, I heard once... "If a tree fell on a mime in the middle of the forest and no one was around, would the mime make a sound?"

Deep, I know.

My Bio for New Life....

Abe Smith

Associate Worship Pastor

Abe Smith is the Associate Worship Pastor for NLC Little Rock & Conway Campus

Abe is passionate about seeing people surrender their lives to God and the authentic worship that arises from such sacrifice. He values expressing his love of God through music. Having admired such bands as Delirious?, Abe seeks to use music to spread the knowledge of God within and beyond the church. 

Abe Smith joined the NLC staff as an associate worship pastor in July of 2005. After high school and some college experience in Washington, Abe completed the twentyfourseven Leadership Academy at New Life Church, Colorado Springs. For over 14 years, Abe has been a part of worship groups through his church and ministry involvement. 

Abe enjoys the show Heroes, crossing paths with a famous person, and personally performing surprising covers such as Gangster's Paradise.

Dreams don't come tomorrow. They come today.

Pastor Rick spoke on living your life now and making everyday count. I think I sometimes get so caught up in movies, video games and random other things, that I miss out on what God had planned for me. Yea, they aren't bad. "Everything in moderation" they say. I think that's even true for dreaming. If you dream too much, you never get anything done. All you may end up doing is dreaming about tomorrow, when you can make the dream happen today. Granted, the majority of dreams don't happen in a day. They happen with a step here and a step there. But the point is that they don't happen without a step. 

One of my dreams is to continue with New Life and begin to travel to conferences and other events and lead worship. Much like Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, and Delirious. I love to travel, I love meeting new people and I love seeing new faces worship God with all of their hearts. But I also like coming home to people that know me and will see the side of me that people can't see from the stage. Right now I'm listening to Switchfoot's "This is Your Life" It always makes me think, what am I doing now, where have I been and in what parts of my life am I moving forward. It's true, this is my life. What am I doing with it?

What about you? What are you doing with your life right now?

Hit me up and let me know!
