So many of you that have read my blog before have seen me talk about the band I'm in here at HBU. I never have really dedicated an entire entry to it before, which is interesting... so I thought I would do it now.
Refuge, in a few words, is best described as "stinkin' awesome." I love getting to hang out and play music with the really cool and talented friends that are members along with me. Its such a blessing and a privilege to be able to come together and use the gift of good music to glorify God through song. Each member had a unique and specific talent that only they could bring to the table, and it all fits together so well. God certainly is and has used this ministry to deepen my relationship with Him, and also to spread the gift of His grace to our campus and surrounding Houston churches. It's incredible.
We are really starting to get things moving as far as the band is concerned. We're trying to book more places to play, and getting the word out. We recently updated our website, which has all of our bios, history, and gig dates. Check it out! We might be playing somewhere near you.
Well, I'll post again sometime this week, so be checking up!

Blessings,

Tara

Hey guys! So today I thought I would dedicate an entry to all of the reasons I love HBU and the city of Houston. Let's take a look...

HBU provides good friends...

Refuge on our retreat

Sweet friends of mine: Alisa and Sally

Houston provides fun things to do with your good friends....

Like Astros' games! Me with some awesome guys, Andrew and Mike.

Or the butterfly museum with my camp friend, Meg!

These are just a few of the many things you can do in this wonderful city, and only a few of the awesome people at HBU... so keep checking in for more awesome-ness because it is most definitely coming!

Peace!

Hey all! It's about that time again... school is starting back up, and I'm back to blogging. All the new freshmen seem to be settling in pretty well. Beanie wearing is officially over now, so I'm sure they are thankful about that! This year I am in Refuge again, but I have a little bit of a different role. I have been blessed to share the lead role with one of my great friends, Michael Razmandi. It's going really well, and I'm excited to see what God is going to do through Refuge this year at HBU and surrounding Houston churches. I'll keep y'all updated about when we have gigs so if you're close, you can come check us out if you so desire! Well, I'm gonna start talking about different subjects each month from student life and organizations to Houston area attractions, so y'all tell me what you want to know about! Thanks for reading, and have a great year!
