Breedlove guitar

Darryl took me Christmas shopping.

I brought this home.

What should I name it?

It was love at first sight.  This guitar is made from beautiful solid Myrtlewood, hard rock maple, and African ebony fingerboard.  It's insanely gorgeous and sounds amazing.  I got to play it at church this morning too.  It made playing the very difficult chords a bit more fun.

Birthday worship leading

Yesterday, for my birthday, I had the great opportunity to lead worship at Frontline.  Last time I did it, I was co-leading with a girl from ATD, but this time I was flying solo.  It went almost flawlessly...haha.  Seriously, it went very well!  My son, husband, AND pastor were all very proud of me, and I got some wonderful feedback from people I admire and trust!  Glory to God!

I also got a surprise from my pastor before the service started...he went up front and sang Happy Birthday to me... and got everyone to join in.  That was so darn cool - and special!

Last night we all went to Logan's for a steak dinner.  It was delicious and fun.  I had a fabulous birthday.  The people that love me made it so special.

God has certainly brought me a long way from the stagnant environment I came from.  People would tell me I couldn't sing or play guitar, and especially never ever should I expect to lead worship!  But God did not agree.  He put joy back in my life even after I'd been tossed aside with no hope.   I'm so thankful that the Lord picked me up and wiped my tears and brought me to a new life where I am able to grow and flourish, and blossom into the worshiper and musician that I have yearned to be.  Thank You, Jesus!

Plans for the Vegh's

I sure have been lax about keeping up to date here.  Oh well.  I kinda forgot.  So, anyway, here are a few things I have pictures of.  The first 3 are from our last open mic and the last one is from a Sunday morning at church.

Ryan and I just completed recording a CD for the church's jail ministry.  It came out really nice.

I'm going to be leading worship at church on my birthday.  My first time going solo.  Yeah, yikes!!

Hilary and I are also planning some kind of birthday celebration since our birthdays are the same day.  Not sure what yet.

Then Thanksgiving plans.

Then Christmas.  

Then we might be going to Arizona in February.  

After that, Ryan and I are planning a trip to Kansas.  For some wacky reason, I've always wanted to go there, so he volunteered to be my travel buddy.

Then we'll be heading to Budapest, Hungary.  It's so crazy that we're actually going there.

All sorts of crazy plans in the works in the Vegh household.
