How could He not be here?
So, I stepped outside my house this morning and took in the bright, brilliant, blue color of the sky. I gazed at the leaves on the trees starting to turn green, I listened to the sweet symphony of the birds singing, I felt the warm sun on my face. I recalled all of the wonderful things that have happened to me in the past and the present and even my struggles that, at the time I thought I would never get through, but did. I pictured my family and all my amazing friends, I thought about my singing, songwriting, and love for music, I thought about my kitty cats:) I thought about how blessed I am....and I know you are reading this in a good bit of sentences, but all of this rushed into my thoughts in a matter of seconds, basically from the time I stepped out of my back door and into our car, which is about 3 feet. Isn’t that amazing too? How our brains work? And, then I thought, I know it's hard to comprehend, and some people choose not to believe it, but I can't help but look around and look back on my life and think, "How could there not be God? Jesus? The Holy Spirit? All three different but the same:)"... isn’t that amazing , and beautiful? I mean God the creator, Jesus His son, the one who died for all of our sins, and in Jesus' name we pray to God, and the Holy Spirit which lives inside us, when you accept Jesus into your heart. Now, isn’t that BEAUTIFUL?! I can’t help but be excited about just typing it!!! He truly is amazing, all powerful, beginning and end, light of the world, unfailing love, Holy Father, my best friend, savior, forgiving, all knowing, beautiful....and He is here, forever and always, and that makes me smile.

Homegrown Talent Show Panoply 2010
Hey to all my blogger friends! Still busy with school, guitar lessons and writing songs. Our songwriting competition, MOVA at the Panoply of Arts Festival, was cancelled Saturday because the weather was so bad. I was disappointed, but it will be rescheduled.... soon I hope. I entered three of my new songs and am anxious to be critiqued by the judges.
These are pictures made at Bridge Street during and after auditions for Homegrown Talent competition where I was selected to compete at Panoply. The show was held on Sunday in beautiful weather! Imagine Saturday there were tornados all over the place. I know it was bad for a lot of people and am so thankful we did not have severe damage here.
The competition was fun and as usual I got to see some old friends and meet some new ones! I competed in the Young Adult Division (15 - 20 year olds). Yeah, I was the youngest! I am pleased to have placed 3rd place performing my own original music. Thanks to everyone who came out to support me. Thanks for your prayers.
I praise God and thank Him daily for blessing me with the talent to write songs and sing. I thank Him for those who support me! Please feel free to click the links in the side bars to visit MySpace and my YouTube Channel (still under construction). Browse around, watch the videos, listen to my songs! I am pleased and blessed to have this venue and opportunity to share my music with you.
Love you guys!

Last Saturday, April 10th, I auditioned for the Homegrown Talent Competition that will be held during Huntsville's Panoply of Arts Festival on Sunday, April 25th. Out of about 30 contestants, 10 were selected from this audition. Three auditions were held on different days at the beautiful Bridge Street Town Center. Talent entries include singers, dancers, actors, bands and are categorized by age not talent. I compete in the 15 - 20 age group! Send your prayers and good wishes my way!
