HAHAHA. All the people that are like, “Really?’ right now, but “Yes, Really”.

I don’t know about You, as corny, or old, or whatever that song may be; every time I hear that song I jam. So, as I sat and wondered “How can I incorporate this into my blog?” (Cuz i wanna blog more often)

This thought came to me:
I GUARANTEE YOU, SIR OR MA’AM, I CAN COME UP WITH at least 99 THINGS TO THANK GOD FOR.

I bet we all could if we took what, 10 minutes? And I bet there are more like thousands. And I’m talking fairly recent, every day life things. Not, “thank you Lord for…..ummm……pizza”. Although depending how religious you are, that might be a legitimate, heart-felt prayer, Praise Jesus.

So now, God is up in heaven jamming to “99 Beautiful Thank You’s” (cuz in heaven prayers/thank yous float, not balloons) literally seeing our thanks rising up to His ears.

Pretty sweet, huh?

And seriously, in the same way that that song can make me instantly feel like a goat eatin a hole in a bully’s shirt, those 99 things, or even 5 things that God has blessed us with, whether food, or family, money, or salvation, by taking the time to give God glory will definitely turn sorrow into joy, and probably bring a smile to our heavenly Father who paid the highest price so we can enjoy and glorify Him. (AWESOME)

God has been so good to us, as the bible, and our lives so faithfully attest, and He is worthy of all the credit.

I am going to write down 99 things, and you just might see them up here some time soon… What about you?

Be Blessed.

So it’s been about a week or more since my last post so here are some updates.

First on the list is the continual changing of my blog here. 1. I really enjoy playing with graphic designs, so don’t be suprised that it changes often and will continue to do so. 2. I am hoping to improve on the design and provide more resources more effectively for you on the many things I cover on the blog here. For instance, the books and music I am currently enjoying can be near the top now side to side as opposed to having a list that goes all the way down the page. I hope you find it helpful.

Ashley and BooBoo are back. Yeah!!! I am so grateful for them. I am truly blessed.

The worship team is growing spiritually, emotionally, and physically. What’s new is that I warned them a few weeks ago that God is moving, the team is changing, and the end product will most likely not look like we expected it to. Some of that is common sense, but God really pressed it on my heart to say that, and I even had them repeat it back to me. So presently I believe they are starting to believe what I said. And it’s great.
– Physically, we have 2 vocalists practicing with us now, soon to join us on Sundays.
– Emotionally, the team is facing some fears and challenges to grow in the areas we need to to better serve and LEAD the church, and a possible new worship leader is in training. God is great!
– Spiritually, I am doing my best to study, seek, and trust God like never before. I will probably be leading my team through a book starting within the next week or two. I think I have decided to take the team through the book in pairs. Sarah & John, Mark & Amanda, Amy, Heather. In other words; separately but at the same time to really share my heart with the team on what worship is, and why WE, AT JOURNEY CHURCH, do it. Not to mention those pairs all have separate roles within the ministry so it will allow me to address them more specifically.

Again God is good!! I could never do these sort of things without acknowledging and trusting in God that HE has called and equipped me to lead my family, this team, and our church both in congregational worship and in life. I am just Scott Clark, a 24 year old married guy with Daddy issues, a daughter of my own who I will try my hardest to not give daddy issues to. I used to be bullied from as early as I can remember. I later decided I didn’t want to go to college, cuz I hated studying and reading. Years later I’m here. I’m just a regular guy who God has gotten a hold of, and is using my life to, once again, prove how merciful and faithful He is. I want more of God, and hope to take people with me as I go. I am always so honored and blessed to be able to serve in the capacity that I do each and every week, and I am always excited to honor God through music. God is good!

P.S. I am getting baptized this Sunday!! WOW, a minister in the church getting baptized? Yes. When I did it as a kid I had no grasp on what dying to myself and being raised into life with Christ meant. So booyaah, I am declaring it this sunday! That’s me!! I’m ALIVE!!
