Catching up…

Wow, I am really bad at keeping you all updated! Sorry! Here goes: I have three healthy, beautiful, children now! (Thank You, Jesus!) Leah is 3, Connor will be 2 in April, and Zachary is almost 5 months old. Yes, we had them close together, and we are loving it!!! I thank God each day that I can be ’daddy’ to these precious little people.

I only have half of the new cd recorded, it has been a frustrating adventure, to say the least, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. The lessons God has taught through this long time period have been priceless, and I am finally realizing that His timing is WAY better than mine ever could be! So while, yes, I’d love to say it’s finished and will be released in a month…I cannot. But I am okay with that now. When it is ready it will be advertised here! And I will know that God is in the middle of every chord, every lyric, and everything about this new cd.

Be encouraged! God IS on our side, even when it sometimes seems He is nowhere to be found. That is usually when He is His closest! My wife and I have a few other things we believe God is doing in this newest season in our lives. We are trying to blindly and fully trust Him with EVERYTHING. He is calling all of us to a new place. But we must rid ourselves of old habits, our sinful nature, foolishness, laziness, bitterness, and all the other crazy things we hold onto. We must in order to go to where He is calling us to. Easier said than done, but let’s keep praying and encouraging one another to move forward, so we don’t get stagnant.

We keep hearing the Holy Spirit say, “get prepared!” And that is want we want to do and be.

“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Peter 1:5-8

Thanks for your prayers and encouraging emails. We love and appreciate them all!

Bless you, Darrell

    Darrell, Your music has been a stability in my personal life and the spiritual life of my church. It never grows old. I have felt connected to you in worship, using your songs, and in prayer, praying for you and your family. There were three people in my life that don’t know me but mentored me as a worship leader, Kent Henry, you, and Darlene Zschech. I am so thankful for the godly influence the three of you had in my life and the life of my church. Thank you and Keep on going, my friend.

    Darrell may the Lord bless you in all that you do. He blesses me each and everyday whether I deserve it or not.
    Darrell, you gotta make it out here to El Paso, TX. I know this isn’t the best place to come visit but we could use your music and passion around here!

    STRENGTH AND HONOR

    I was listening to some old praise music I uploaded to my iphone and your song You Are I Am came on. I have to admit, it has been awhile since I gave myself to worship like that. But immediately I was back at OBF at the recording of Let the River Flow, and remembered what an awesome guide you were into the presence of God. That night was the first time Mark and I worshipped together and one of my favorite memories of our life together.

    I am so thrilled to see that you are doing well! Children are truly a blessing. Mark and I have three, Ramsey (7), Landyn (4) and Caedman (2). It’s an adventure unlike any other. I am graduating from law school in two months and am excited to see where God will lead us next. But I know it will be wonderful.

    I am so glad to see you continuing to do what you love. I remember back at OBF hearing Pastor Budd tell you to get out of the office and spend time with God so you could lead us into the throne room in service. Your music has always been able to show me the way to the presence of God and I thank you for that. No matter where I am in life, listening to the music and words God has given you will help me find my way back. Thank you for being obedient to the call of God on your life. May He continue to bless you above and beyond anything you could ask, think, or imagine!!!
