It's The Little Things

It's the little things in life that make a moment special.  

Moving into my house a week early was unexpected, crazy and a blessing.  And though I don't have much, I am finding joy in the simplicity of it all.  Finding small little trifles to make each area of my house feel special and unique. 

My house gets a lot of natural light which is great and not so great.  Great because of the beauty.  Not so great due to the heat but I'll get some curtains eventually.   

Taking out things from my apartment in California and putting them in my new home is very comforting. It reminds me that while much has changed some things always stay the same.  

Face timing with Audrey and talking with Pastor Dan last night reminded me that some friendships and bonds never change.  And while I don't see them everyday, the love and joy we get from fellowship is constant.

It's amazing how just hearing certain tones or seeing mannerisms from someone you used to see all the time can make you so happy and sad in the same moment.  

Still know that me moving here was God's will and He is reminding me of that everyday through His provision, grace and favor.  

And while I may never get used to the heat.  I am learning to enjoy the afternoon thunderstorms and the way my hair never quite looks as I'd like it too.  It brings some much needed spontaneity to my life.  

I am still doing what God has called.  Still using my gifts.  Still writing, still recording, still leading and still following in God's foot steps.  Taking it one step at a time, looking up with every inch to ensure the way I walk is in His loving will.

I'm still fighting the good fight.  Keeping my boxing gloves on for whatever comes my way, but knowing and trusting that God is faithful!  He has made a way and continues to come through.  I am starting to make some new friends and enjoy the prospect of new beginnings is lots of areas in my life.  God's refining fire is accepted, as I see it's work bloom and I am so grateful for redemption!  God is so good!

Thank you for your continued prayers and support!  I still need 3 -5 more students and continued prayer against the enemy and His schemes.  I love and appreciate you all!

It Begins

My life's calling summed up in an image!

So I have now officially been in Florida for all most 2 months and so much has happened.  God just continues to show His faithfulness in all things.  

I am making progress in my business as I get new calls everyday from interested students and even churches for aid with their praise teams. As many of you know, I signed the papers today to rent a beautiful 2 bedroom house in Oviedo, FL.  What is even more amazing is that the house literally fell in to my lap.  It is currently rented by a friend of my brother and sister-in-law who are relocating come August, so I am the only one who saw the place before it was even on the market!  The other great things are it is only 7 minutes from church!  

My new home! 

God just keeps reminding me that he goes before me!  Last night I secured a new student and then literally right after I signed the paper work for the house, I received a call from another new perspective student!  Its like God is continually encouraging me, saying.."keep walking in faith my child...I got this!" And he sure does!

 My nephew Josh and I have been writing lots of music and have started recording some demos to take into the studio next week.  We also recorded some music videos to help promote my business and plan to do some to promote worship at church as well. We look forward to doing some for our album, when the time comes.  It is all so exciting!  Recording the videos was a little weird...it felt like I was putting on a show...but by the third take I was able to let go and realize that even this was Glorifying God!

I really want to thank all of you who continue to pray for me and my family in your daily time with God.  It means so much!  I miss you still and that will never go away but knowing that I am walking in God's calling and purpose makes it all worth while.  We still have our hard days.  We still wonder what exactly we are doing.  We still feel completely inadequate. But walking by faith not by sight, we press on and God's faithfulness shines.  So thank you for your continued prayer against the enemy and his schemes. We are daily fighting a battle, especially while writing.  Josh and I had to turn off our phones and hide the other day to write a song...but it was worth it! God wrote a awesome song through that devoted time.  Again He is faithful! Love you all!  Until next time!
