Every Little Thing

f1e4b-back2bcover2bpic2b1a2bbanner

Hi Friends,

As October arrives I find myself once again chasing summer. The quest to be walking at the ocean’s edge is something I live with all year round so there’s nothing unusual going on here. Following hurricane Florence’s visit I stopped off in Virginia Beach, VA for a weekend of events, and then spent the following weekend at a Tent Revival in Spindale, NC. The next chapter will take place back on my favorite barrier island in sunny Florida.

Every little thing these days reminds me of God. Whether it’s the blessings I continue to receive, the daily opportunities to serve, or the chance to be sharpened by adversity, it’s all delivered in a loving packaged of grace.

The new album (Worship in Spirit and Truth) drops this coming Friday, October 05, and the early returns have been humbling. Thanks again to each and everyone of you who take the time to share with me.

Call me, text me, tweet me, message me, email me, write me… we’ve been brought together by God for a reason.

As always, remember you can send an anonymous email to prayer@eddymann.com for prayers and encouragement.

Pray on,
Eddy

Hi Friends,

Last month during my yearly eye exam it was discovered that I had a torn retina in my left eye. When I asked if it was serious they said they were scheduling me for laser surgery the following morning. Amazingly I didn’t experience the normal warning signs. There were no flashes of light or noticeable vision changes. Afterwards I began to realize the blessings and just how fortunate I was that the retina hadn’t become detached. I was blessed to have scheduled, and kept my yearly appointment. And I’m blessed to live in an age of laser surgery where I could continue a normal lifestyle immediately.

As is my way, I began to pray over what had happened and what I could learn from it. I immediately realized that I was four weeks into a nine week run of events where my focus has been on recognizing God’s beauty through nature.

During the past month I’ve really championed God’s creation but never once took into consideration that it could only be achieved by the miraculous gift of sight.

Sheepishly I now have the opportunity to share my brokenness in maybe taking that gift for granted.

Call me, text me, tweet me, message me, email me, write me… we’ve been brought together by God for a reason.

September Notebook

The three-step release of the ‘Worship in Spirit and Truth’ album is scheduled to begin on September 07, 2018 with the ‘Worship in Spirit EP’. This will be followed by the ‘Worship in Truth EP’ on September 21, 2018. The EP’s will only be available on the eddymann.com website. The ‘Worship in Spirt and Truth’ album will drop everywhere on October 5, 2018.

It’s been quite some time since I released any new songs for the church and I’m really excited about this project. Some of these songs have become a staple of my worship events over the past three years and so I’ve seen how God has used them in the lives of others. And now I look forward to sharing them with all of you!

The Courtship

f1e4b-back2bcover2bpic2b1a2bbanner

Hi Friends,

After laying low for a few months and settling into my new southern digs, I’m excited about the next nine weeks. As I head north there are twenty dates booked, a Direct-to-Vinyl session in Brooklyn, NY, and a new Worship album wrapping up. As always I’m in awe of the blessings that I call my life.

As we travel along this courtship with eternity there’s so much to be learned, so much to be achieved, and so much to be grateful for… the connected dots are stunning when we sit back and see our Maker’s loving and creative hands at work.

It’s this overflowing joy that’s racing through my soul that drives me to want to continue to share with you in fellowship, sing with you in worship, and walk with you on this journey.

Call me, text me, tweet me, message me, email me, write me… we’ve been brought together by God for a reason.

Cowboy in the Badlands

Hi Friends,

As I sense the current season of my life changing, I’m excited about what the future holds. Those of you who know me well, know that I embrace change and find it ever inspiring. I’ve been based in the Mid-Atlantic region for most of my life and am now entering a new season where a beautiful barrier island in south Florida will be called home for seven to eight months a year. Though the change is a pleasant one, it comes with an enormous amount of balancing as there are endless loose ends to tie up. I rest in the knowledge that He shepherds me, and I never am, or will be, in a place of want (Psalm 23:1).

So join me in opening my arms to the future, to all that the summer holds, and to all the blessings that await us.

A May Morning in the Park

f1e4b-back2bcover2bpic2b1a2bbanner

Hi Friends,

I’m starting to sense a bit of spring as the month of May arrives, and I’m certain that summer’s going to be right behind. Since returning from my time down south it’s been an adjustment getting used to the cooler nights and chilly mornings, but adjustments are what we make all day long aren’t they? We wake with our plans, and then God smiles, and then the adjustments begin.

The comfort is in the fact that having our Creator moving the pieces to his rhythm, and with his harmony, we really don’t need to worry about being out-of-step or out-of-tune… not as long as we’re allowing His will to be played out.

So my prayer this month is from Hebrews 13:20-21, “Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever.”

Call me, text me, tweet me, message me, email me, write me… we’ve been brought together by God for a reason.

Simple Things

f1e4b-back2bcover2bpic2b1a2bbanner

Hi Friends,

April, and it’s fools, are here like it or not. Are you one of those practical jokers? I’m not… usually, but I have had my foolish moments over the years. I do know that bringing a smile to someone’s face never grows old, and inspiring laughter in an increasingly dark world always leaves me feeling good.

Solomon wrote that, ‘a joyful heart is good medicine,’ and ‘a glad heart makes a cheerful face.’ That sounds simple doesn’t it? Think about that, it requires very little effort and it’s virtually free. So as the first days of April arrive, let them be filled with smiles, laughter, joy and gladness. Let them deliver good medicine and cheerful faces.

I’ve found that the simple things in life can be the most rewarding.

It’s my prayer this month that we can find the hidden happiness in the simple things in life, and that we can bring a smile to the faces we meet.

It’s my prayer that the world begins to find it’s way back to him, to allow his embrace to bring comfort, strength, and wisdom, and a vision of a peaceful, loving place to live… the spring of our content.

Call me, text me, tweet me, message me, email me, write me… we’ve been brought together by God for a reason.

As always, remember you can send an anonymous email to prayer@eddymann.com for prayers and encouragement.

The Spring of Our Content

f1e4b-back2bcover2bpic2b1a2bbanner

Hi Friends,

March is arriving as usual with the announcement of spring in a few weeks. As we continue through nature’s change of seasons, we are reminded that our journey is also one of change. The excitement of what lays ahead can be exhilarating or daunting depending on your view. One thing for sure, it will be arriving.

There have been many lives changed this past month by a world that is seemingly out of control, so I understand those who may harbor some concerns about what the future holds, but we don’t worship a far away God, we worship Emmanuel, a God who is with us at all times, a God that continues to embrace our world even as it falters and pushes him away.

There’s a peace in knowing that if you are in him, he remains in you, and that he has plans not only for you to succeed, but also to complete.

So as the month of March arrives, as spring begins to bloom around you, it’s also a perfect time for us to blossom in our relationship with him.

Call me, text me, tweet me, message me, email me, write me… we’ve been brought together by God for a reason.
