This morning I woke up at 4 AM, not to feed my baby and change any diapers. I woke up to practice for a show I'm doing Sunday. It was a great experience! For a while, I've taken a break from doing any concerts or gigs because of time. When my kids are involved in sports, plays, school, and music, I don't have any time to practice songs or write and play music like I used to, because my time is limited.
This morning while practicing for Sunday I had a sweet reminder that I am a daughter of God with gifts and talents that I need to develop and share. I was reminded that being a mother is a gift from God, along with writing and singing music.
Before I got married someone once told me a few days before my wedding that my music wouldn't be as good after I got married because I wouldn't have any real life experiences to write about being a stay at home wife and mother, but I have to disagree. My music and lyrics had gotten more meaningful and intimate. I no longer have a desire to write love songs about disagreements, heartaches or wishing love would come into my life. I no longer write music wishing it will be featured on every website in the world. I write songs to remind people of Christ, and that is the most powerful topic that any singer or songwriter could ever dream.
Catch my show this Sunday at the beautiful Cathedral of the Madeleine where we can all feel God's love!
