Sixsteprecords...

Sixsteprecords is the label that Christ Tomlin, Matt Redman, David Crowder band and Charlie Hall are on which Loui and Shelley Giglio pretty much run...this is from an article that I red this morning that is really resonating with my soul...the whole concept of how they came up with the name for the label is truly the way to build a business, a worship team, a church, your life...very inspiring...to read the whole article go here.
Let's start this story in 1,000 B.C., when the Israelites finally figured out how to return the Ark to Jerusalem. Shelley Giglio, Director of Label Operations, recounts the tale from 2 Samuel 6:13: "It says that they went six steps, laid the Ark of the Covenant down, and then they built an altar and worshiped. Some scholars think they did that every six steps for the several miles to Jerusalem. They were so grateful they were alive—that they'd figured it out, that the glory of God was going to be back with the people of God—all that made them so worshipful that they couldn't go very far without stopping, building an altar, and worshiping." Thus the name, sixstepsrecords.
That name is a reminder to everyone associated with the label of the importance of worship. Shelley Giglio continues, "It's a reminder to me of the purpose for which we were created—that it's really wise for us to worship often, that if we're really going in life much more than about six steps before we figure out how to worship, then we've probably gone a bit too far." The label avoids capitalizing their name as a reminder that it's not about the company, but about God. And they spell their name as one word to show that they operate as a close-knit family.

A funny Response...

Ok so yesterday's Random act of kindness went Great!!! I wanted to share with you my funniest response...I took 2 pans of the enchiladas to work to give to the girls...there are 4 of us that work together including me...one of the girls just had surgery and is out for a couple more weeks...don't worry I took her a pan of enchiladas too...anywho...one of the girls kept saying "why Brandi...why...ohhh why Brandi" and I kept telling her just because I wanted to do something nice for them and she said..."should I pay you"? I thought about saying yes just to see how much she'd give me for them but decided I better not...Just Kidding...
You can do it!!! I'm telling you it is totally worth it...
Oh and I made some for my own family...which was also a random act of kindness...hee-hee...poor things...

As I Seek...

I read Colossians this evening and in reading there were so many things that stood out to me...but here are the scriptures I will be meditating on this week...

Colossians 3:12-14
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Help me Lord to truly take in Your words and make them a part of who I am...amen

I 'm Yours...

May every breath that I exhale be less of me
and every breath I breathe be more of You

Transform me
Shape me with Your hands
Fill me with Yourself
Until I am know more

My heart is here...

Take it from me... It is Yours

Make it what it could NEVER be without YOU
I am Yours with You alone

Thank You...
