A New Season

Hey guys!

    The past 3 years of my life have been amazing to say the least. From writing music I love with some of my best friends to touring the nation and making new friends, the Lord has blessed me immensely.  Harp And Lyre has always been on my heart and a main priority from the day it started. From day one the Lord had a clear goal for Harp, and that was to write music that brought glory to Him and share His love along the way. As of now, the Lord has called me out of Harp And Lyre to pursue a new season in my life. Over this past year of truly seeking the Lord, He started igniting passions and desires in me that I can no longer ignore.

    Leaving the band is one of the hardest decisions I have had to make. I am so grateful for all of the support we have ever gotten and for all of the amazing friendships that were made along the way. I am honored to have shared so many great memories with Dylan, Noah, Tyler, Clay, Philip and Evan during this time of my life. They have been a great examples of what good friends and a men of God are. I love them so much and I can't imagine what my life would look like without their friendships. I will truly miss every second of it, even the long nights sleeping in the hot van, sandwiched between two sweaty dudes. To all of my friends at home, you have been so supportive and you have made such an impact on my life. I am sorry for all of the shows I dragged you to (mainly CFCE). I love you guys so much! I can not say how blown away I am by the amount of love and support Harp has gotten over the last few years. To everyone who has ever come out to a show, listened to our music, prayed for our band and shared awesome times with us: I can not thank you enough. I pray that you will seek the Lord's heart and trust Him with everything you have, because He loves you so much and has the best plan for you!

-All For The Kingdom!!!!

p.s. Don't worry, Harp is still going strong. The guys are leaving in a week to go track the full length album and I can honestly say its the best material the band has ever written. They have put many many hours into the album and its truly anointed by the Lord! So keep supporting them like you always have! They have some awesome things ahead so stay on board and keep listening, you wont be let down!

Ok, now that I have that out (wiping tears from my face...it's allergies, you hush). I can tell you about what I am up to! ;)

   As of now the Lord is calling me to a prayer and worship school called Fire and Fragrance. This school is based in Kona, Hawaii, and is lead by YWAM (Youth With A Mission.) I will be leaving January 6th, 2012. After the school phase is done, I will be sent into the mission field somewhere in the world to share about the Lord with others!  I am so excited to see what the Lord is going to do and to see where he leads me. Please be in prayer about supporting me financially during this time. The cost of this school is pretty overwhelming but I have complete faith that the Lord is going to provide every cent.
Please contact me at Joseph@equinoxvisual.com or add me on facebook.

But more than anything, please keep me in your prayers! Prayer is the battle!

Thank you all so much.
Love you all!
