These are the moments my stomach churns a bit. Honestly, when the possibility of stepping on a stage with gifted and skilled artists and peers in the audience arises..it’s daunting to me. I recall in those moments the utter stage fright from years past…..like a flood the memories return:) Yet in moments like this I find such joy in Ephesians 3:20 with my Jesus. Songwriting is a 3:20 moment for me. A most cherished “immeasurably more than you could think or imagine..”

It was a dream I never dreamed actually because it seemed so unattainable…until I met the songwriter Himself. He didn’t mind that I didn’t read music or play instruments. Frankly, I can’t even hear harmonies without the hard work of memory…but it didn’t seem to stop Him from lovingly teaching me how to hear His voice…His melodies..His lyrics…when He chose to write a new gift for me. He has melted my heart so..It was never ultimately about learning to be a songwriter I have realized for some time…but mainly learning about Him intimately and the process of learning His way with me.

I will not know until I get to Nashville and hear the Star Awards announced whether Hush Little Baby is awarded top honors or even chosen as the official theme song for the organization, “Visiting Orphans.” Yet what I do know is that Christ delights in dreamers. So DREAM BIG…NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM!
