Now I may have to…

…I would put a huge band aid over the planet, Comfort all pain, heal all disease,  Restore the broken, save the world…But I can’t. But I know someone who can…All I can offer you is a simple prayer and hope and believe for the best, together. Let me know how I can pray with you…

There is always more room to grow. Ok, maybe not in height but in other areas of life. It’s been insanely awesome having 2 boys at home. One thing is for sure, I couldn’t  handle it without my amazing wife. She is an amazing wife and mother. Having 2 kids has it’s challenges, but I am all about that! Challenge!!!!  We will learn as we live and grow together. Just proves there is always more room to grow as a leader of my home. It is a daily adventure. Yesterday as I changed Zion’s stinky diaper I thought, wow…one day he will change mine. But until I grow completely old, my duty is to lead my boys in the best path possible and Instill in them a passionate love and desire for God’s heart. I invision them impacting the world with me, on stage, across the continent, in the streets, thru the arts…It’s a fathers dream…

After being in the hospital with Reina as they removed Zion from her body, I realized how much more amazing she is day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. It was scary seeing all these Dr’s operate on her. As I wiped her tears in that room, I felt so weak inside but did everything possible to be strong for her in the outside. Then within minutes there was a sound in the room that took all worries away. Zion’s firsts words in this world. It was amazing. He is God’s gift for us!!!  Having 2 children requires double the attention and work, but it made me realize there is so much room for us to grow as a couple, as companions and lovers.  New adventures, new words, new gestures, new jokes and dreams. There is so much more…Love my Reina more and more…

Performing in Asia was really cool. I felt like the saturn project was making moves so loud the whole earth can hear our anthems. It was cool walking out of that auditorium  to screaming fans who embraced our songs and our mission. It had it’s weirdness of course, flashing cameras and autograph signing everywhere, but it let us know we are up to something good on it’s way to being great. Arriving here to the US, we didn’t have screaming fans at the airport, nor billboards displaying “The Saturn Project Rocks!” Just proves there is so much more room to grow as an artist and a band. So much more to achieve, so much more to do and share the anthems for a broken world story. We are eternally grateful to those who have and continue to believe in our sound and what we do…the best is yet to come…

As the creative arts and worship pastor for life pointe I have a team of leaders, artists, directors and producers that I lead. There is always that challenge to be the best possible leader I can do. From time to time I drop the ball and maybe don’t lead as I am meant to lead. Just proves there is so much more room for me to grow. It is a blessing to be able to fly out from time to time with the Saturn Project to share  our talents with the world. From Cambodia to the Philippines, Europe to South America and the US. None of that is possible without the amazing  staff and teams I have the privilege of working with at LPC.  When you are encouraged to dream and follow those dreams by the people you work and experience life with, it really encourages me to be a better leader, artist and “pastor”. There is plenty of room for that…

Me and my crew live in Homestead Fl, many of my family and friends live in Chicago. I don’t have the luxury of driving over to my Mom’s for Dinner, nor hanging at the pool with my brothers and bust each others chops. I can’t drive over to see a show in wicker park with my fellow chi-town artists. Just shows me there is more room for me to grow as a friend, brother and son. I am challenged to constantly reach out and say “what up?”, or constantly post pictures and videos of my crew so my family in Chi-town can see them. Out of sight, out of my mind shouldn’t exist for me. But rather push myself to be available to all my distant peeps.

We are all constantly growing, learning, dreaming and living. The day we stop that process, the things that wage war against growth, lessons, dreams and living will begin to eat away at our bones and quickly lead us to our death bed.I wanna constantly live and grow. As my  1773 friends in chi town would say, “Constant Motion”.

I am here at the Atlanta airport waiting on the 3rd and final flight taking me home to Fl. One thing I have learned through all my travels, there is no place like home! The Philippines was a cool country. It has a city feel to it. Really cool shops, cafes and restaurants.  The people are really passionate about music. It was clearly shown after our performances. I learned that the majority of the country is Catholic and Christian. I learned tons of cool words, but I forgot to say them from the stage. Sorry! ☺ It was weird and cool at the same time, to see so many people into our music and wanting to meet us. I think I saw spots of light for a few hours after all the pictures people took. I can see why many people wear sunglasses at meet and greets. Thank you Asia fest, for making us feel so cool!!! Special thanks to “the edge” radio! You guys were awesome. It was great to connect with so many people on this trip, people from all walks of life.  I have learned so many valuable lessons on my journeys across the globe.  We are on paths to find our purpose on this planet. The same God here in the US, is  the same God in the Philippines. As I dream here in the US, someone across the ocean is dreaming too.  While we have pain and suffering, so do others. God is constantly working in, out and all around us. Looking back at my life I realize there are so many friendships I took for granted, so many I broke, so many I gained and so many I have been blessed to restore. We are all working towards a better life, a life destined just for us. It is then that others will follow theirs. As I sit here at the gate waiting for my plane, I am on a new journey and mission to inspire the people around me with the gifts and talents God has blessed me. I hope to connect and reconnect with people and make it right, as right as Christ would want it to be. To all my friends all over the world, thank you for inspiring me, thank you for reading and listening when I share my heart, and I am also sorry if I have ever offended, broken, or discourage you in any way. We are all part of a bigger bridge, a bridge to help the human soul connect with the supernatural.  I am so excited about this new season approaching…in God, in my family, LPC, in music, in everything God grants me to do…” I will go”. I can’t wait to go home and squeeze my boys and tell them I love them, and remind them how much they inspire me to be a greater Dad, leader, and friend.  I can’t wait to hug and shower my girl  “ la unica Reina” with kisses! “We talked, and dreamed about this for yrs babe, did you ever think we’d come this far?…Glad to have you by my side. We’ve gone thru the sunshine and storms, the warm and the cold, peace and war…we’re unbreakable! -fuser+

So our journey back to the States begins early tomorrow morning. Just when I was getting adjusted to the time, it is time to go home. We had a great time here in Asia. Beautiful and Passionate people populate this land. Time to say farewell, until next time.

I can’t wait to see my beautiful wife and boys…Lots to share, lots to talk about…Lots of hugs and kisses to give.
