The office has been quiet today. The silence kills me, mainly because it drives my brain in a million different directions, and I can not focus.

Fall is approaching, and the Fall Festival is right around the corner. I am so excited to see what will happen this year at the festival. We are actually having live music this year, and the band coming out happens to be two of my best friends. I just got off the phone with them- James and Charlie- and my heart is extremely happy. Not only is this a great opportunity for our church, but this is a great opportunity for them. It's exciting for me to watch my friends lives grow and shape into what they are wanting it to be. Giving them an opportunity like this makes my heart happy, and seeing them live up to their dreams makes me proud.

So this post is a tribute to dreamers. A tribute to the rock and roll stars, the actors, film writers, journalists, doctors, teachers, dancers, pastors, and scientists everywhere. Here's to you dreamers, with your wild imaginations, innovation, and incredible motivation. Here's to the hearts that can't be broken, to the dreamers who refuse to give up. Here's to living out your passion, giving everything, holding nothing back. Here's to the wide eyed, child like nature, full of belief. Here's to losing some, here is to gaining many. Here's to the one who wouldn't stand down, who gave everyone the ability to believe in something, no matter the size of the dream . Here's to you dreamers. Keep dreaming, even after your dreams become a reality.

I am so proud of Charlie and James. The fact that they didn't settle with getting by. The fact that they didn't let logic tell them how to live their lives. So many people miss out on their dreams, and what God has for them, simply because they live safely.

They listen to reason, they listen to what everyone around them says... and they miss out. The fact that I can say my friends are not missing out makes me beam. They are risk takers, adventurous, letting passion for music fuel their drive. Some might say this is reckless, worthless, pointless even... how foolish those some are. They have obviously never chased a dream. Not only that, but I know they are trusting God to take them where they want to be.

I am so glad I can be a part of this experience in their lives. So honored to be helping them out.

So here is to you, Charlie and James. Keep living the dream. Stop at nothing. I can't wait to see where this road leads. I love y'all.

Everyone needs to make it a point to make the shows lined up for October 29th and 30th! Help support two very awesome musicians! I promise you don't want to miss out!
