Wow…….What a place!!!  New York is amazing.  Just landed this afternoon and have already rode the subway, visited Times Square and most importantly ate real NY pizza!!  Looking forward to visiting the TBN studio of Dino here in New York tomorrow where I’ll be singing and doing an interview.  Thank you Jesus for the opportunity to shine your light!

I’m here with my manager Wally and my husband Stoney!  We had a great time last night in Franklin @ Pucketts listening to up and coming songwriters.  This morning I was given the opportunity to be on Fox News here in Nashville with Indie Heaven Founder Keith Mohr (you can watch the video here on my website).  I’m just in awe of how God opens doors.  These past few weeks have been an enormous test and I am learning to trust God, not day by day,  but moment by moment!  He’ so trustworthy!  The problem that I have is I misplace my trust far too often!  Every day of our lives we make a choice!  We can either be tossed around by all of the circumstances that surround us or we can simply choose to trust Jesus!  Today, this hour, this moment I will trust HIM! :) Ps. 31:14 But I trust in you, O LORD!  I declare, “ you are my God!”

At a crossroads in my life bearing the weight of many disappointments and hopes unfulfilled, I stood surveying this place that I had never been.  The land of disappointment or better said reality!  I remember sitting down at the piano one day trying to play but no melody seemed to come.   Where had my song gone?  It was this feeling of despair and sheer hopelessness.  In frustration these words flowed from the depths of my heart, “when my melody is gone, and there’s no words to sing my song”.  What do you do when you’ve lost your melody?  When the song of your heart simply goes away?  The instant I sang those words I felt the spirit of the Lord speak to me so clearly, “Hold On”.  

Disappointment is a part of life and sometimes it’s a very big part.  “Hold On” became an ongoing project for me.  While many of the songs that I’ve written have come very quickly it was not so with “Hold On”.  It was almost as if the Lord was doing a great work in me through the process of writing this song.  The more words that He gave, the closer I became to believing once again in the joy that comes in the morning.  There is such a misconception in the idea that we will not face trouble and even deeper still that when we face trouble we cannot continue on. I have learned that in disappointment and failure is found the most fertile soil of faith.  

Written in the early part of 2005, “Hold On” has become a very close friend of mine .  When words seem to lack meaning or they seem insignificant in comparison to the situation at hand, it’s melody and meaning has brought much peace.  When my oldest sister was faced with the possibility of cancer and was being wheeled into the operating room, “Hold On”.  When my mother escaped death by only a thread, “Hold On”.  When one of my closest friends was facing marital destruction it was “Hold On” that became the background music for a life determined to heal. 

The midnight seasons of life come just as sure as the day but we must understand that it is possible to stand and hold fast to our faith.  We look to Jesus who is truly the author and finisher of our faith and we know that weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning.  

Now booking!!!!  If you’d like me to come to your church let me know!

Hello!  I’m so excited to announce that my new Christmas single is now available to download and best of all it’s FREE!!!!  Just go to www.VolumMonster.com and use code CelebrateJesus.  Enjoy

One line of Israel Houghton’s song “If not for grace” says “Where would I be if not for your grace”.  I cannot even begin to describe how much this statement defines my life this past 2 years.  I am so thankful that His grace is sufficient for me.  I’m constantly amazed by His grace, it is the power and strength that we need to overcome everything we face in this life.  What a powerful example David is when He is facing his giant.   The bible tells us that he was reminded of the times that he defeated the lion and the bear.  It was past victories that allowed him to see, even still a greater victory ahead.  All of us have faced giants in our lives and we must remember that with every new challenge is a new opportunity to gain another victory to build upon!  I have been many places in my life, some great, some not so great, yet it never ceases to amaze me that no matter where I am, He is there!

Just got back from the Praise Chapel Women’s Conference “Inexpressible Joy” in Palm Springs, CA.  I had such a great time and God moved in so many lives.  The week of the release is here and I have lots to do!  November 21, 2009 @ 6 p.m. at The Lighthouse Christian Fellowship in Madera, CA “The Journey” will officially be out!  My new Christmas single is coming soon as well and will be available online.  Stay tuned!

It’s been a wonderfully crazy mix the past two weeks!  Lots to learn with my new website but thanks to Mr. Theron I’m determined to get it!  Just finished up the recording process of the new Christmas Single “Celebrate Jesus” with my producer Mr. Sam Mizell, who is amazing by the way!  I can’t wait for it to be released to radio!  YAY! 

November 21st will be the official release concert for my new album “The Journey” and will be at my home church The Lighthouse in Madera, CA!!!  If you’re close by I would love to see you there I am honored to say that the most amazing band and vocalists in the world will be accompaning me and that is just too cool!

Been studying Jonah the past few days and his crazy fish drama!  Wow, the effects that saying “No” to God can have in our lives!  Therefore my prayer today is, Jesus help me to say yes to you always!
