God Walks

Copied from Facebook post:
​
The last couple weeks have been pretty rough for me, but God is loving me through it, and I will be a stronger and healthier man on the other side of this situation! I am still the most blessed man on the planet!

I had fellowship with the following people over the past week: Uncle G, Tom Allport, Chandy and Rick Britsch, Kelli and Jordan Truszkowski, Elijah and Libby Cosby, Greg and Michelle Wells, David Didaskalu, Dale and Sandy Billingsley, Mike Hamann, not planned but hung in the drum shop with Fred Knapp, Cullen McCarthy, Angie Royce, Kurt Ehinger, Tim “Pops” Froncek, and Mike and Michelle Truszkowski! (Most also involved food, so I gained a couple of the 30 lbs I’ve lost back lol)
I also got a piano and drum lesson and hiked over 25 miles this week!
In the upcoming week I will see so many more friends including Summer Camargo, Bruce Barth, Anat Cohen, Markus Howell, Luther Allison, Jonathan Muir-Cotton, Kenny Washington (vocalist) and my JLCO family!
In subsequent weeks I will also get to see my friends Todd Williams, Jeff Hamilton, John Clayton, Jon Faddis, and Xavier Davis!
I will also get to see Samara Joy again!
I will be going to Indiana, Chicago, NYC, and CA for my friend’s wedding, for whom I am so happy! I will be doing some hiking to many waterfalls in CA and OR as part of my quick trip out there!
I also have the honor of being a guest artist at the Thornapple Arts Council Jazz Festival, and Ionia HS Jazz Night! (And maybe some sit ins at Byron Center and Rockford Jazz Nights)
I regret not getting pictures with everyone but wasn’t really in the mood too much! I’ve included almost 91 years young Uncle G again! I have a name for a tune for him that I want to write but don’t want anyone to steal it so I have to write it! lol He knows the name and likes it! I did get one today with Pops Froncek as I brought up the Hammertones for us to play with and one with Sis Michelle. We had fun watching all the bald eagles as we encouraged each other on our life journeys! Any healing (relational, physical, emotional, etc.) has to come from trusting God! Proverbs 3:5-6 and a renewing of our mind Romans 12:2
Despite a bit of a broken heart currently, that will eventually be healed, you can see why I am the most blessed person on the planet! Thank you Lord! 

A lot of my prayer walks were this but we did have fellowship also:

Thankful I found a place to hike!
