New Blogs Rock!

This is a personal blog, so if you don't want to read anything about the daily ins and outs about my life, you probably shouldn't read any further...

---------------------------
So, it's been a while hasn't it? My apologies. I always come back on and tell you that I'm gonna be better at this blogging thing - but it never happens. I do have good intentions - honestly - but sometimes life happens, you know?

Since my last blog entry, a lot of stuff has been going on. I started working on the new solo album which I am so excited about. Like the PR that I posted said, this has been a life long dream - ever since I was a teenager. The funny thing is, there was always this batch of songs that I just knew I was going to record when I finally did my first solo record. However, when the time came for me to actually decide on songs - none of them made the cut for one reason or another. I really feel like God literally threw these songs at me and said "here, do these instead." So, I'm doing them instead. People have been asking if this album will be Southern Gospel - no not really. It's not really pop, nor is it country or inspirational or anything like that. It's just me. I can't really describe it at this point other than it's a culmination of all the different styles and likes that are me. They'll be some pop and inspo and black gospel and southern gospel as well as some light rock and folk influenced stuff. It will be a hodge-podge of styles, yet at the same time very much "me."

Other than that - I've just been working and enjoying God's grace and favor in my life. The awards program majorly exceeded my expectations. It was standing room only - and we exceeded our crowd by a couple hundred people this year. God blessed the event far beyond my wildest expectations.

Work has been going good - we just signed two new artists that I will be working with - The Walkers and the Southern Brothers. I'm excited about that. We lost a client, and it saddened my heart that they didn't stay with us, but God blessed us with not only one replacement - but two. He really does continue to blow my mind.

Next week is camp - I can't believe it's already upon us. We're going a week early due to the 2nd week being full. The one good thing about that is that it's usually a bit cooler and less crowded, though I don't know how much less crowded it will be this year with how fast the camps filled up. We'll see. I'm excited about it very much - and my friend Tosha will be going for the first time this year as a chaperone alone with Pastor Nathan and Noel. It's gonna be great - God's gonna move mightily there.

Speaking of God - I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about what God is doing in my church. It's hard to put into words, especially for those who don't come from a pentecostal background. Pastor preached a sermon about a year ago that said something to the affect of allowing God to do things in us that he's always wanted to do but we've never given him that opportunity. That's been my prayer this past year, and I know that I'm going to get those opportunities very soon. I've been reading up on prayer from a series that E.M. Bounds wrote over 100 years. Isn't it amazing how God's truth never fails, and the same things that worked back then in terms of spiritual growth work today as well? God has just been blowing my mind lately - and if any of you have the chance to attend one my church's services - please do. You won't regret it.

Well, I'm not sure what else to talk about. I'm sure I'll have lots of stories after camp and service on Sunday with Dr. Jay Morse (can't wait for that!).

So, until then, go buy the new Cindy Morgan record, watch some The Office reruns, and go see Prince Caspian.

Unthank, OUT!
