Michael's Move to Tulsa

"I am going to start my work on you that I have already begun to stir inside you.
You are going to be formed and equipped with the skills you need to fully minister in the capacity that I have for you.
Everything you sacrifice in your leaving Amarillo, I will multiply as blessing back to you."

God's word to me on January 29th, 2008.




For those of you that still havn't caught it yet, Tulsa (ORU) is the next stop for Michael Rowley.

Honestly, I can't believe it. I have based this season of my life on things that are now just being set aside. What I can't believe even more, is the peace which is accompanied with this decision. I have put two solid years of my heart and soul into my band, now God asks me to set it down, but I have arrived at the discovery that, even though I had good intentions, the band had become issue of self-promotion and pride. I desired to "get signed," "have a draw" and be seen as a success in an industry that was hard to be successful. The band had become my identity. I WAS THE DRUMMER FOR THAT GOOD BAND. I'm coming to realize that that isn't God's plan for me, that was my plan for me....and now he is stirring me to pursue him, to start from zero, and to let HIM define who Michael Rowley is.


I will miss Amarillo.



God help us.
