I'm being transparent... probably more than I should be, but I'm doing so. I've wanted this since I was a child. I remember a commercial about dancing lemons when I was VERY young. I had a dream that I was on stage dancing with those lemons. I remember waking from that dream KNOWING that I would be performing and that would be my life. I just didn't think I would be ministering God's word in song. This word is what has saved me. Without God in my life I would have been dead long ago. I want to share his Love and his Grace and his Salvation with the world. I'm not a preacher so my best efforts come from sharing the music that God gives me. The "fame" aspect of this, I find disconcerting. Simply uncomfortable. I don't want my sons having a spotlight on them just because Daddy is doing something, I'd rather they have a normal childhood. But that isn't going to be the case. I will do all I can to protect them. But anyhoo...
I do this because it's what's inside me. Music plays in my spirit even when I'm not paying attention to it. It's ALWAYS THERE. It's like there's a radio in my mind playing songs that nobody has heard yet. lf I get quiet, I get overwhelmed by the power of it. I got songs piled up that I haven't finished yet. The one that comes out in a few weeks is an OLD song. I honestly believe its the last original song that my Mom ever heard me do. The Storm that the song is about has nothing to do with Covid 19. Its about every attack that we experience. Every heartache, every pain, every disappointed, God will get us through it. And not just get us through it, we will overcome it.
You know what I love MOST??? When I'm on and the audience is rollin' with me. When we shut everything down and they sing the words to the tops of their lungs. They're not even focussed on us, they are lost in their own experience with God at the moment. When they let go of everything and just paise and worship. Its so beautiful!!! Or when they start screaming at the start of a song and start singing without me. I just play along like I'm the musical director at church. I feel like I'm interrupting their worship when I start singing my part. I dunno, I'm gonna shut up now. God bless all of you. Stay prayed up!
