Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.

I love Saturdays.

The long and arduous process of zucchini bread. Just kidding, it’s super easy & yummy!

Eggplant fries ! Soooo yummy.

This past Saturday I had the privilege of spending my day with two of my favorite ladies. We spent our morning at the farmer’s market, made our way to the ocean, and ended our day in the kitchen making a few delicious snacks. During my time with these friends, it occurred to me how precious this family is. When I refer to family, I am talking about the family that the Lord has provided me with. The type that goes far beyond my immediate relatives. The people you can share every inch of your heart with and know that there is no judgment passed, those that spur you onward in maturity with our Creator. Together you are the body of Christ. Each one of you is part of his body. God put our bodies together in such a way that even the parts that seem the least important are valuable. We are needed, brothers and sisters.

This past Sunday, The RISEN Family Band released their first official live recording, The RISEN Family Band, Live From The Bridal Lounge.

Download or stream it live: risenchurch.com/media/music

And here’s a little note from the team:

At RISEN, we believe that everything is a gift from God. We celebrate God wherever we find him, and strive to live lives of gratitude and worship. We believe that worship should be a part of our daily lives and that’s why we set out to record these tracks, live from the “bridal lounge” at Trinity Church in Santa Monica, CA. 

This is our joyful noise, recorded in the simplest of settings by several RISEN family members who volunteered their time and talents. Our only goal was to give some songs to our community to worship the risen King throughout the week, monday-saturday.

with love,

The RISEN Family Band

I had such a blessed time this past weekend with one special guy, couldn’t have asked for more.
