My husband, Jason, rocks and rolls ... literally. When I met him he was fresh off the plane from Spain and had plans for a drumming gig later that evening! He also had a date (which he cancelled ... yeah me)! He had long flowing crazy wild hair that was longer than mine. And the music ... oh my ... wild!
There was such a dramatic change when Jason began walking with the Lord. He began to play drums for the Lord. His whole focus changed. It wasn't about the music .. it was about the worship. He would often tell me "God gave me a heart transplant". And he was right, He did!
Our son, Joshua, also plays the drums and now the guitar. They both love playing worship songs together. (I will confess, though, that if Van Halen comes on both of their arms are flailing in the air "air drumming").
I am very blessed that Jason has taken his God-given abilities, that were once used for 'attention' and uses them now to lead people into worship. I am the recipient of being lead by a man who wants others to know that worshipping their King will bring them such joy...the lasting kind.
This is a picture of my no longer long haired rock n roller. He is still the most handsome man I know. Many years ago, the hair had to go. He began to notice these stripes on his head. He felt the Lord speaking to him about the vanity of his hair and so he shaved his head. Not many people can see up there because he is so tall but the top of his head has stripes on it....Jay will just laugh and say "yep, its hard to be vain with stripes on your head". I think he has never looked better!
This morning he and the youth pastor had to leave at 5 am to make a trip. So he was up at 3:30 am. He came in to say good-bye to me and said ... "hey peach, when I get back, I've got to tell you the best story about King Agrippa...or do you want me to tell you now"? I love that he gets so excited about his devotional time that he wants to come up right away and share it with me and so I mustered up every ounce of 'morningness cheer' that I could and said "oh, I must hear it now before you go" and we shared morning giggles.
Yes, my husband definitely rocks!....and rolls!.....literally!
