Radiance - Post #1

Currently, I'm sitting in a Crown Plaza hotel near downtown Phoenix, AZ enjoying a break from the heat in this refeshing air conditioned room. For those who don't know... this summer, I am traveling with a worship band from Point Loma Nazarene University playing at camps and churches throughout California, Arizona, and New Mexico for about 10 weeks. The group is composed of: Rachel Pomeroy (Bass), Victoria Watts (Electric), Chris Evens (Electric), Kelsy Richardson (Vocals/Keys), Todd Clayton (Sound Tech), Katie Bunker (Vocals/Percussion), Aaron Villegas (Drums), and Allison Waters (Media Tech). We left Loma today and couldn't been anymore ready to start this journey together.

Highlights of the Beginnings:



-Reuniting with people I am starting to call family


-Falling asleep to the waves again


-Getting stoked to worship with this group of people


-Taking our first excursion ... to Hemet. Even though it's Hemet, nothing beats the first road trip


-Leading worship for some of my most respected mentors who reflect Christ to me

-"Working" from 7am-9pm everyday... yet loving it.


-Running/Sitting/Thinking on Sunset Cliffs as the sun takes another dip and the sky becomes dark again




-Late night burrito runs!
