Getting Close...


The clock is tick, tick, ticking away. I need to be learning words and focusing and probably even studying more than I am. But the sanguine in me is just about on happy overload. I'm so excited to see the many of you who have said you are coming to the taping this Sunday night. And friends and family are trickling in little by little today, tomorrow and Saturday. Woo hoo!

I got here yesterday, in time for a great rehearsal with the choir at FBC Woodstock last night. They are bringin' it. And I spent most of today relaxing, eating (at my favorite restaurant in the world, Pappasito's), and greeting friends as they made it in to Atlanta. I miss my sweet wife like crazy...she is not coming down until Friday night. When she is here, I will be able to settle down. Oh, who am I kidding? There will be very little settling down.

The crew loaded in today...lights and sound and band stuff. I was a little overwhelmed, so I didn't hang around too much for it. I tried to busy myself while I was at the church, taking care of the band and singers, and showing them around this amazing church. We actually got lost a couple of times. This place is BIG.

I am going to try and upload a video or two tomorrow...give you a glimpse of what we are doing to prepare for worship Sunday night. Gotta go for now. Happy Friday to you!

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. -- Hebrews 4:16

My Chris and I went before the Throne this evening, praying for you and for this weekend.

Wish we could be there live, but we will send prayers on ahead, instead.

I so wish I could be there. And are you really "taping"? Wow. I thought you'd be in the digital age by now. :)

I was at choir rehearsal Wednesday evening and we looked at a song from a Christ Church Choir book called "I Believe in God" (maybe)... anyways, I thought to myself, "Self, Travis would do this song justice."

Praying for a wonderful weekend. I have several friends that will be there. Looking forward to awesome reports.

I am awake this morning excited and called to pray for all of you. This verse keeps speaking to my heart for you. Not exactly a "Praise Word." May His Holiness be felt this weekend through praise and worship. He is so holy.

Habakkuk 2:20

But the LORD is in his holy temple:
let all the earth keep silence before him. (KJV)

As our pastor tells us before we go on stage to lead worship..."GIVE 'EM HEAVEN!"

Bridgette Jencks said...

Sarah said...

cool wish I was there, but I'll for sure be buying your new CD when it comes out. Just read Beth's post on you sending her fruit covered in chocolate, and she's actually eating it...............See you'll get her healthy somehow. Praying God's spirit will fill the place on Sunday.
Be Blessed

This makes me wish I lived on the east coast. I would be there in a minute! Have fun. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I'll be praying.

I knew you were an awesome talent for the Lord, but now I know you are a man of excellent taste as well.
I drive to Atlanta 2 1/2 hours away to eat at Pappasito's because it is quicker than driving 11 hours to Houston. Without a doubt the best Mexican food. I was quick to tell Melissa M Fitzpatrick that Pappasito's would bring a little Houston to her when she was homesick.

Have a wonderful time singing and praising our Lord. I pray God is already there and that you will meet him in Woodstock and bring honor to His kingdom.

Amanda said...

I'm praying for you Travis. I so wanted to come, but just couldn't get things worked out. I'm sure room will be at premium in the church as well. Can't wait for the CD.
