WHAT'S YOUR GIFT?

I sang … and sang and sang

That's the place I conquered my fears.

I returned home yesterday, after five days of recording vocals in Nashville. WHEW! It was an intense week, to say the least. A couple weeks ago, I worked with Carl to get vocals done on 4 songs. That left us a daunting 8 more this time. My competitiveness made me certain we would do it and I’m happy to say, we did . . . it was challenging, especially one song in particular, we tackled on Thursday. But, we took a break, hung in there and eventually got it recorded. Listening back over everything we did, I’m astounded with the results. I know I gave it my all and I owe Carl & Dan so much for their patience and encouragement.

Thursday evening, after an exhausting session, I felt very defeated and had to remind myself (after some tears and prayers) that I’ve come SO far. This is all a new experience for me and I have to keep that perspective to realize the magnitude of what I’m accomplishing. I’ve let the faith of God rise up in me. This isn’t something I could ever have done on my own. He made it possible and continues to give me a voice and the enthusiasm to use it for His glory.

Dan & Carl made me laugh, made me try harder and made me grateful each day to be working with them. God surely made a way where there seemed to be no way. He opened wide the door when the idea of recording was just a blip of a dream. Now, I’m one step closer to releasing my album. Praise God!
