August Front & Center
Here are a few shots from our August open mic night.
It took us all week to set it up (AND make all the equipment work the way we wanted it to, which it didn't quite at the end of the day). It was an exhausting week. I was completely worn out after our service in the park today.

We ordered the CDs Baby!
We ordered the CDs today from CD Baby and they are just beautiful!! This is really happening, folks! I was thrilled that we could use some of the photos I had taken on our recent trip to Ormond Beach in Florida. They were exactly what we needed, especially for the first song!
It took a long time to get here. It was a struggle. It was a lot of hard work, a LOT of tears, a lot of trial and error. There was a lot of ridicule and being told I wasn't good enough. Hearing those kinds of things over and over again during the past several years was heartbreaking and nearly ruined me. I'm still recovering from all the negativity, and I still must work on my confidence to this day. I'm glad God picked me up and dusted me off. I'm glad He was there by my side, wiping my tears and comforting me, telling me He loved me and telling me I wasn't too old to worship Him. I'm not too old to learn new things, to play guitar, to sing, to lead worship. No, I'm not! I'm glad I listened to Him. I'm glad I trusted Him; after all, He is the One who put this dream in my heart. I just needed people who loved me enough to come alongside and encourage me and give me some opportunities to learn and grow. I thank the Lord for my ministry at Frontline Bible Church! I thank God for putting people into my life who were nurturing and patient and kind. Without their encouragement and love, this album would never have happened!
We are having a CD Release party. At this point, it is questionable how many people will actually be there (or listening online). But even if no one shows up, I know without a doubt that this album brings glory and honor to my Savior, Jesus Christ. It is the culmination of the journey He's been with me on. It's been a journey of sadness, disappointments, learning to forgive, learning to let go of bitterness, learning to walk in love and to put God first in my life.
I praise God for making my life better. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for answering my prayers, and bringing joy to my life!
And once again, a huge THANK YOU to my son, Ryan for 7 months of tedious work to get this album finished and making it sound so amazing!! And thank you to my husband, Darryl who has consistently been there to offer his expert opinion AND his never-ending words of wisdom and encouragement. You both have been my rocks!
Next step: plan a party.

I Believe
So very excited to announce the release of my first single from my CD. The remainder of the album will be released one month from today on Sept. 1st.
Thank you, Ryan, for working so hard on it!
Lyrics
Thank you, Ryan, for working so hard on it!
Lyrics
Oh God, when I open Your Word
You open Your heart to me
And God, when You pour out Your heart
Your truth it sets me free
You said the power in me is the same
As the power rose You from the grave
And I believe…I believe!
Help Thou my unbelief
In You, where I find all my hope
Your love’s surrounding me
In You, my heart will rejoice
Singing my praise to Thee
You said You are the Way, Truth and the Life
Let a lost world choose and decide!
And I believe…I believe!
Help Thou my unbelief
You said the works that You do
I’d do even greater things
To show the glory of God
Jesus alive in me
You said to ask by faith in Your Name
Do not doubt in your heart, You said!
And I believe…I believe!
Help Thou my unbelief
Yeah, I believe…I believe!
Help Thou my unbelief
Christ is the power and He lives in me
From long ago, this was a mystery
Jesus in you, the hope of glory
He gives to us so abundantly - Yeah
[repeat]
I believe…I believe!
Help Thou my unbelief
Yeah, I believe…I believe!
Help Thou my unbelief
Yeah, I believe…I believe!
Help Thou my unbelief
Help Thou my unbelief
