WOW!! 28 years Old...... As I try to look back on 28 years of life on this planet, there seems to be only one question that comes to my mind.  And boy is it a convicting one... "How many of these years can I truly admit were spent reflecting Gods glory?"  Although it seems kind of pointless to dwell on the past at times , I feel motivated to look back at some of the patterns I have allowed myself to fall into.  Pride, Ego, Humility, Surrender, Depression, Confidence, Rebellion, Excitement, Rest, bla, bla, bla... (It could go on and on) I have been through so much and have learned so much that now all I really desire is to know God more intimately.  Thats it...

What does true intimacy with God really look like in my mind?  I think I can sum it up in just 3 words... i think...  Absolute Surrender and Dependence.  If I could imagine one thing that would keep me from living in the flesh in the potential years to come, it would be those 3 words.  It seems to me that the most restful, aka happy times in my past were when I was Absolutely Surrendered to Gods will, and completely Dependent on His grace and love to survive.  Although realistically those times were few, I believe God has brought this to my mind so that I can humbly fall before Him today and say...  “I belong to You completely!”  I know that I can reflect Gods glory on a daily basis when I choose to walk with Him humbly an know Him intimately.  

Ok,  I think thats all for now.  My wife just texted me to come home for the birthday dinner! I feel truly blessed.  Thank you Jesus for one more day!

BEHIND THE SONG "SOME GOOD ADVICE"

Posted By: Justin Unger - 09-02-10

- In January 2010 as I was trying to wrap up the song selection for this new project, I really felt like something was missing.  I felt that this project needed a foundational theme to tie all the songs together. That is when my producer, Greg Bieck, and I decided to once again open up God's Word and see if the Lord would inspire something new!!  Sure enough we were directed to Proverbs 12. After reading through the passage a few times, I was comforted with the amazing thought that My Father would continue to sustain me and protect me as I hold fast to His Word. But, I need to continue to seek His voice and pay attention to His words...
