make beautiful music

to this goal! More than ever actually…

I feel overwhelmed though. There is so much going on that I feel like “Wow” I actually recorded a song. But after this single release, there will be a lot of work ahead of me. Writing songs, recording songs, singing engagements!

I’m looking forward to it all! I want it so badly. Music is my passion, and that is truly an understatement!

The excitement is building! The CD release celebration is in about 6 days!

Well…Saturday, I had to sing at a wedding. As I’ve said in the past, I am Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer. Well, I had to sing “The Lord’s Prayer”, and I was so nervous because they asked me like 4 or 5 times if I was ready to sing. I said yes each time to put them at ease. I figured it would turn out okay, ya know?

Anyway, I got up to sing, completely doubting myself. I only practiced the song twice with the musician. I was all like, “Que sera, sera.” Anyway, sang the song with my eyes closed-no way that I’m looking at all those people-put my mind on Jesus-finish the song-sit down-maybe they won’t notice how terrible it was.

I opened my eyes…and silence. Then, clapping! The whole church clapped AT A WEDDING!!

What?! This has never happened?! I’m so not tooting my own horn here. I’m still floored!

They actually clapped…

music lately. I love doing this. My friend Keisha and I write together and when we can’t we do what we can apart. There has been more than one occasion where I have sang snippets of songs to her voicemail. It never fails that she has the missing pieces to the puzzle.

I was on YouTube and came across this video. It’s awesome and hope that the group we sing in can make beautiful music like this. These ladies are awesome!

I wrote this when there was 7 of us. About a year ago July 9 to be exact it was a year, Jada S. Lang died. She was only 18, but she died in a car wreck and now there is only 6. We are struggling a little, but we’ll come out on top. We’re taking it every day at a time, but we’ll never be the same since Jada left us.

This could be a metaphor for getting along REALLY well with a boy that I might wanna spend some time with…like the rest of my life.

BUT

I’m just gonna use it’s literal sense here today. I became a part of a singing group called The Women of Worship. I love it because we do make beautiful music together. I’m a soprano and there are about seven of us in the group and we sing in church and at weddings. I absolutely love it because I can see us making it one day. Maybe ending up on someone’s stage singing Glory to God.

I think I’m gonna make that a THING of mine and leave this category to the metaphorical sense! :-) (hehe)
