First of all..I am so envious that you are out on the beach right now. It is COLD out here in Denver so every time I run to my car, I try to imagine being warm on the beach. I can totally relate to where you are right now..and actually your song, “trust in me now” is tremendously helping me through this season. I have been on a whirlwind, thinking I was over something and then you know it “magically” reappears and I find I am not at all over it…then all of these future based questions have come up that have no immediate answer..it’s been hard. My pastor said over the weekend that God is outside of time and space so in effect He is still there in our past moments-redeeming and healing, taking our past agonies and making them into a glory, He is already there in our future moments and of course He is here right now with us in this moment. Kind of a cool reminder. I also wanted to let you know that you don’t need to always have these great words of wisdom or insight. You speak through your music and we love your music!! I think most of us are just curious about what is going on in your world because through your music you have stepped into ours. Anyhoo will be praying for you! Thanks again for the new album!

In not giving an answer, you still gave an answer…we have to trust Him and accept that we won’t always have answers/explanations/information when we want about what we want.
P.S. The view is beautiful. I’m happy that you are finding time for a break and enjoying Him and His creation.
P.P.S. So God’s humor rises up again…at the end of your Vlog, it gives the option to view other videos. All of them had your image, except for one, so I clicked on it. How timely that the song used for the video was “TRUST IN ME NOW” (still trying to figure out what the video has to do with your song however). Thanks for the reminder – His ways are higher, He’s fighting for me and He’s loves me.
P.P.P.S. You should be proud of the album – it reflects growth in my opinion.
Blessings!!

One thing i admire about you is that you have this amazing way of embracing your vulnerability and allowing it to minister to others. Most people try to hide vulnerability and live a facade. Kudos! With that said…

I, too, was engaged but God said no…that was 4 years ago…and he hasn’t said anything else since. I had been really struggling with the fact that another holiday season is here and i am still single. Two things that has helped me out tremendously, ironically..are the beach and the lyrics to Trust in Me Now.

You are amazing! You are unique! You are courageous! You just ARE!

Stay encouraged! Much love!

Sorry this is so random but the song “I will follow you” is a banger!! Ps. I don’t even know what “banger” means but I have heard people use it when talking about songs hehehe. I think it means great!! Anyway, I have been having a holy ghost party listening to it over and over and over again. Thank you for writing an anointed dance song for those of us who love to dance. The rest of the album is great as well but for the moment I am enjoying jamming to I will follow you!!

May God continue to use you to be a force to be reckoned with for your kingdom!!

Best,

Gosh I meant for HIS kingdom!!

Hi Anthony, First, congratulations on your new album, it’s beautiful and most of all very encouraging. You have every right to be proud of it. )

You are such an inspiration and one of the things that is so inspiring is your transparancy and openness.

I listened to your v-blog and as with so many other I can also related to where you are right now and you’re right it’s not always fun… but… it’s a good place, it’s a growing place. I wanted to encourage your heart for a moment and share with you. About a month ago I was on the way to my life-group which I don’t always get to very often because of my work hours so was really excited about finally getting the opportunity to go. I recently upgraded to an iphone and thought I would try out the satnav I had downloaded to get me there. I had forgotten how to get there because I hadn’t been for a while. I put the destination in and I set out believing this satnav will get me to where I’m going. I should add that I’m travelling at night and alone. As I travelled, it takes me through back roads and long dark winding country lanes where only one car can pass at a time, I didn’t recognise anything about the area. I was flanked by very tall tree-like hedges and if you’ve been to the UK we call some of these places horse and sheep country.

I was driving for while just following the instructions of the voice on the satnav, turning when it said to turn and kept driving forward whenever it told me to, because I didn’t recognise where I was and hadn’t seen any signs that gave me any idea I was on the right track, I started feeling a little anxious thinking maybe I have taken a wrong turn, but the satnav didn’t say, so I kept on driving. My anxiety level increased but what could I do..? I was in the middle of no-where I recognised and I couldn’t just stop and it was dark, no lights except from my car and the odd vehicle that may pass. It was so dark I could only see a few yards in front so I had to rely on where the satnav told me to go. The point is, as I drove, out of no where the thought came to me, “look at the confidence and trust I’ve put in this computerised equiptment to take me directly to my destination, even though I have no idea where I am, I’m trusting it to get me out of this dark scary place and to the place I want to be and yet when God does’t give me the answers I’m looking for straight away and when things doesn’t make sense to me I become impatient and discouraged at his timing”. I was convicted, I got the messag and repented right there as I drove and praised God for the lesson.

If I can trust a satnav, to get me to the right place, (and it did, I arrive at my life group on time, although it seemed like I was driving for ages) then why can I not trust the God who created the heavens and all the beauty surrounding us as you showed in your v-blog. So from my heart to yours, wherever you are right now and whatever He’s doing with you, God will get you to the next place of your development, safe and sound and right on time ) Be encouraged, God’s got you covered.

Keep on keeping on.

Every Blessing in Christ.

I have never left a comment here but have always listened. It’s encouraging just to see another person going through what I go through. We all are here living a life that’s confusing, sad, painful and at the same time joyful, loving, and wonderful. The questions can eat away at your life but to trust allows the questions to quiet. I’m choosing to trust today and look forward to your next blog. Thank you!

I just want to let you know how much of a blessing you are to this world and to people like me. I am a member at The Brooklyn Tabernacle and was privileged enough to see you again just a couple of weeks ago. Everytime you come to BT or I check in on one of your blogs its just so encouraging to see someone so REAL. I can only imagine how much strength it takes to stand up in front of a crowd and just be you, and that is probably the thing I enjoy most about you. So often in this life we feel like we need to portray Godliness but truthfully being real is as Godly as we can be. So thanks for being so YOU. Its an inspiration for me to take into my career as well. I’m training to become a physician and as much as we are always supposed to have the answers, we don’t. Its been a blessing to me and my patients that I can impart on them that at the end of the day, faith will be all the answers they need.

God Bless You and all the work you are doing for His kingdom!

Keep up the great work! Awesome to see you using your talents to honor and glorify the Lord. I graduated from Liberty in 2009 and have been playing basketball professionally since then. I love it when I see someone use their gifts to share HIS name. I am currently in Poland playing bball and wow God is awesome. I actually saw you sing in San Antonio at Max Lucado’s church when I was there in the summer playing in the WNBA for the SilverStars.

Keep shining your light for Him!! AND….go LU

Well, to be honest I have never heard you music before today. Part of it has to do with the fact that I am a relatively new Christian. But I came across one of your albums and just was blown away at the amazing talent God has blessed you with. Praise Him!
I just want to thank you for being vulnerable with us and to be willing to share who you are in Christ with the rest of us. I was just feeling really discouraged with life and I found your blog and it just lifted my sprits to know that I am not alone and the reminder that God knows my name. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings and prayer from Minneapolis

I heard you singing on “The Voice” and was impressed but hearing your music on YouTube singing worship to the Lord is so encouraging.
I have been at that place of needing God to answer questions and it seems sometimes like He’s holding out on me but the crazy thing is, that in the end He does answer them just not in the way we think He will and quite often not in our timing AT ALL!!
It is one of the HARDEST things in life to truly and fully have trust and faith in Him and in His timing but when we do the rewards are endless…
Your blog totally spoke to me so I want to thank you for sharing…
Keep loving and singing for HIM!

Hope this finds you well. I thank God for leading you into ministry where you are serving God’s people. I love how authentic you are in your worship and am a fan because you’re not cookie cutter artist! I have you as a set station on Pandora and was very excited to see you on the Voice this season. Although your time was cut short there…thanks Xtina! I was very happy to see that God gave you an even bigger platform to use in his name. Your parents must be so proud…I know HE is! With you doing this particular blog on trust it means a lot to me now because my brother, Will, is going through what you talk about in your song “Silence.” (Which I played for him last night and could definitely relate to.) He’s at a point where he wants to know the questions to answers and because of that looks to the word for his answers so he can continue to help others in ministry as a youth leader. I haven’t seen a new blog with you letting us know if you’ve received the answers to your questions so…any advice for Will? on ways I can help?

P.S. Brooklyn misses you!

You are trully ANOINTED!! Blessed be God for the anointing He has placed in you through music ministry. I was in the audience when you came to Healing Place Church a few weeks ago. It was my first time hearing the song “Your Great Name” and I feel completely in love eith it. I bought your cd after service and HE fallen completely in love with it as well. He loves us is the AMAZING!! God is so awesome. He’s a strategic God. I have been going through some trials; however after listening to your cd Home, God has revealed amazing thiongs to me through song. To God be the Glory for the amazing work that you are doing for Him. I also saw you on the Voice and your hunbleness is attractive. To God be the Glory. I pray that Jehovah Jireh will continue to shower his anointing, grace and provisions on your life so more people will know Jesus’ heart through your music. God Bless Brother in Christ

I have to first start by saying that I’ve had “Home” on repeat for weeks now, and the last couple of days the song “Take Over” has been my heart’s cry. It speaks directly to my soul and spirit! UUHHH, HALLELUJAH GOD IS GOOD!! This album lead me to your website and ultimately here to this “Trust” blog. I’ve never related with someone like I have with you on this topic! TRUST! I’ve such a ‘Why Baby’-always got questions and I never hesitate to ask Our Sovereign Creator about them. But lately, I’ve just been in this think cloud of anticipation and excitement because I KNOW that I KNOW that I KNOW that God’s plan is perfect and ‘He’s working out the plan He’s starting in me’ and ‘He knows the plan He has for me, to give me a future and not harm me’ and I TRUST HIM. That’s all I need to know. I saw a post the other day that said, “The teacher is often quiet during a test.” Good stuff. And all that is good comes from God, so AMEN to that! Thanks for sharing Anthony! Side note: if you’re not married, you just might be my future husband. Nice to meet you! ;o)

Be blessed,

Tiff
