A Musical Explosion

In May of 2015 a musical explosion began in my heart. Something broke in worship, and all of a sudden I was different- I AM different. In the quiet of the night, music and lyrics began to spill out of me, awakening a dream I had buried. I thought I had missed the season of life that this dream should have happened in, and tucked it safely away for another time... when our kids are older, when my brain is less cluttered and my home less noisy... if it happened at all.

But each time I hesitated in the middle of lyric and song, I felt more and deeper that the time is now. The noise and the chaos and clutter are part of what He uses to shape me, and what better time to write than as I'm being molded. I've decided to take a risk, and breathe life to the dream again. I am choosing to walk through each door He opens and see where He leads me.

Currently, I'm deep into writing a worship album.

This blog may stay a little sparse for a little while, but I have opened a venue for the people around me to watch this take shape. I started an instagram account where I will share bits and pieces along the way, I hope to the glory of the One that is leading me into this.

I feel a little vulnerable in a lot of places right now. It has been easier to tuck dreams away, because it eliminates the option of disappointment. But I would be foolish to let fear of disappointment win over the great and powerful love of God.

Thank you for being a safe community for me to share this with. To God be the glory!

    God had dreams too that we would be more and more like His Son every day. I have been studying Matthew Jesus keeps saying "He who has ears to hear let him hear" Maybe God dreams we will listen. If you shape your songs around His word He will get to speak and get All the glory
    I love when Moses asks God to "show me your glory". Worship Him in Spirit and Truth!

Small Victory

I have a small victory to share with you:  Let me give some context... I blogged about the loss of children recently, verbally stomping my feet and telling the enemy that I will have no more of it- and that I have chosen my side and refuse to budge. The children God has given me "on loan" are all so different... Jonathan was an easy baby, and is currently a whirl-wind 3 1/2 yr old- he is FULL of energy, curiosity, music, rythm, he is friendly, relational, deep (yes, deep!), always thinking, processing, talking... He knows about God and that Jesus is real, and he knows that his baby sister Evelyn is safe with Jesus. Henry was a difficult baby, and is an easy 2 yr-old!  He adores his  brother and wants to be where he is, he gives AMAZING hugs, likes to be held, likes books, connects quickly with people, is caring, noisy, talkative, fast... and still has his innocence. He likes to pray. Evelyn has changed my life more than anything. Her body was tiny, but her existenc

How great the Father's love for us...

Evelyn has changed everything. She has changed the way I think, the way I see my boys, the way I approach people, and most importantly she has changed my understanding of the depth of God's love. Yesterday the teacher at our church taught on John 3:16... which I have heard hundreds of times. BUT- yesterday (and today!), and from now on, it means more to me. The verse says this, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son..." WHAT?!?! I've heard that, quoted that, referenced that, but now, being asked to give up one of MY children, I see just a little more deeply how God loves me. Having felt the searing pain of being asked to give up a child, my response is so different to reading again that God CHOSE to give up His only child! ...and for me, the little girl I'm being asked to give up will go straight from the safety of my womb to the permanent safety of His arms (unless God gives us a miracle!). But for God, when He gave up Jesus, He sent Him here, kn

Evelyn Rose

It's time to write about Evelyn Rose. We knew I was pregnant around Thanksgiving 2010 (no test, we just knew!). We waited to tell family until Christmas, and had our first Dr. appointment in January '11. In march we had an ultrasound and discovered we were having a girl! After a couple hours of high excitement and celebration over our coming baby girl, I received a phone call from our Doctor. She had hard news for me- that our little girl was very small, and her brain was not forming right. We scheduled an ultrasound with a specialist, and prayed deeply for a week, for healing. During that week I prepared myself for a miracle, and also reached a place where I was overjoyed to take care of her, regardless of her condition. I did not prepare myself to lose her. At our next appointment we met with a "genetic counselor", and I let most of what she said roll off of me, thinking it would not apply to us. We loved seeing her during the ultrasound- her feet, hands, face, eye
