HAPPY NEW YEAR…and nothing’s changed…

Posted by on Jan 1, 2008

It’s New Year’s Eve, and I’m resting up for my midnight gig tonight…

(even though the date to the right says “1/01″…is this Y2K???)

(starting to stockpile some water now…)

Anyway, the family and I are up here in Nor Cal, staying with relatives, playing Guitar Hero, Webkinz, Tamagotchi…everyone still in their pajamas and socks…definitely experiencing “down time” at it’s finest!

I’m reflecting on the eve of the new year ahead, and actually struck by the faithful, unchanging nature of God! Just like you, I actually have NO IDEA what the new year holds (or what next week looks like for that matter), but I feel comforted by the simple fact that in this season of change, we get to experience a love that never changes. God’s ridiculous, undeserved favor toward us is a constant reason to wake up in the morning. Everyday He’s there. He’s excited to lovingly lead us toward REAL LIFE…His song is playing…He’s ready to teach us the steps to the dance…

…and He’ll be there tomorrow.

Nothing’s changed.

Happy New Year!

THE BIG FAMILY PICTURE

THE BIG FAMILY PICTURE

This holiday break, the band and I rounded up our families for our year-end party, and it was awesome! John cooked the most amazing ribs, Joe kicked down with the killer deserts, and our kids practically tore John’s house APART! We managed to snap this quick pic before the melt-down…

I’m totally overwhelmed with gratitude to these families for joining ours in this crazy musical adventure…THANK YOU!!!

A big toast to Joe Servia for 10 YEARS of rockin’ the bass with us!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

 

I’m sorry I can’t write too much right now. I know I should be coming up with some super-cool, deep, Christmas-y devotional….umm….I’m sorry. I’m buried in wrapping, painting, eBaying, cleaning, dishes, parties….it’s INSANE right now! But my prayer for you is the same for me;

…that somehow, in the craziness, we would experience a special season of “God with us”…His Hope, His Peace, His Joy, His Love…all REAL and LASTING!

May you encounter Him like never before!

From my family to yours,

Thanks for being a part of our lives!

Love,

The Foxes

THANKSGIVING = Family Band!

My family and I had a WILD Thanksgiving! We drove the 14 hours to the far north of Cali where we met up with the whole extended clan…4 younger brothers, 3 sister-in-laws, 1 niece…and our 6…it was CRAZY! My parents hosted us all somehow with grace and class.

Here’s a highlight for me; I encouraged everyone I could to jam and sing with me on my Friday night “Thanksgiving Concert” at Mosgo’s Coffeehouse. My bros; Josh and Ben both did great sets of tunes, my dad even sang, Farrah did a couple songs, my mom lent her famous harmonies, and the kids handled percussion!

Virginia in the fall…

Virginia in the fall…

The band and I had another amazing, glorious tour of Virginia last week. Catching Richmond and Monument Ave. in the fall is so cool! God always does great stuff in my heart through the communities we visit in Virginia, and this trip was no exception. I left encouraged, inspired, and excited for the road ahead.  A HUGE THANKS to our east coast friends!!!
