How grateful am I that God has taken me to so many different places this year just to sit behind a kit and worship Him. The Capital, House of Blues and City Hall. I can’t wait to see what’s next. I don’t care if it’s in front of thousands or in a room where nobody knows my name. If God gives me something to steward, I just want to be faithful with it. Because at the end of the day, the gift was never mine to begin with. He gave it, He opened the doors, and He gets the glory.

And I really don’t believe He’s done yet. Wherever He takes me next, my prayer is that I never become more excited about the platform than I am about His presence.

And yea, there’s a reason is in both clips lol. One of my closest friends, and one of my favorite people to worship with. Wherever God takes this, I’m grateful I haven’t had to do it alone.

Nothing will ever replace how close I feel to God when I worship Him on the drums. Not because I need a platform, but because music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Sometimes it feels like a language He taught me that only He and I can speak.

As a creative, sometimes the camera can feel like a wall between you and the presence of God. You can get so focused on capturing the moment that you forget to be in it. But when I push past that, something changes. I’m not just capturing what God is doing but I get to worship through it.

The same hands He moves when I play are the hands He moves when I create.

Different tools. Same hands. All for Him. 🤍 by @jmele1996

Last night was really fun. Got to play on my new cymbal. Still working on my CSM but it’s become really fun cuz it’s asking me to play simple but still be creative. Always love worshiping with my friends and being at Inspire YA. (Don’t know why I hit so hard on that transition lol) by @jmele1996

March was strange for me. It took me further than I expected. I went into the month with a lot on my mind.

Somewhere along the trip God started dealing with my heart. Japan slowed everything down and gave me time to think.
