Today Gabby and I shared some notes from our trip to the Christian Music Broadcasters University conference this past weekend in Franklin, Tennessee.

One of my takeaways came as a reminder from speaker Phil Cooke, who encouraged us to do great work in pursuit of souls and in support of the gospel, but to let God keep score. He does the final work to bring people to Him. So many times we’re so focused on numbers, ratings, likes, data and results, that we forget that the RESULTS are with him!

From Gabriella:
I’ve been having a lot of pain mentally, emotionally, and physically for a very long time, but it just started recently where physical pain was being brought in. It’s only getting worse right now until I get my surgery. So, it’s a waiting game…and that is so stressful, but I always go back to Romans 8:18 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us.” As well as 1 Peter 5:10 “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” Throughout this experience, I’ve had every emotional emotion known to man. But one good thing has come of it. A few days ago, I heard God’s voice, and it helped me tremendously throughout this experience. He said, it’s all temporary, and that’s why I go back to those verses. If I had to go back and do everything the same just to hear God’s voice, I would because it was a spiritual awakening for me.
