I would really like to sing again. I have been thinking a lot about this lately. Maybe it's a phase I am going through, maybe it's a little reminder that someday that part of my life will surface again. I certainly don't know, but it's been on my mind a lot. Please don't think I am complaining because that is not my intent. If fact, I am doing other things just as fulfilling right now; things that I feel like God wants me to be doing. That is so satisfying... I guess what I am trying to say is that even though I am doing something I love right now, I don't want my singing days to be over.

Last year I had to make a choice to stay in Phoenix and sing, or move and get married. Well, that choice was an obvious one for me. Get married duh!! But, in the decision to start a new life, I did have to give up a part of me for a time. It's easy to say goodbye to something when there is another thing to look forward to. Getting married much overshadowed my desire to sing at that point in my life. Now, though, I am almost a year into this marriage thing and am finally feeling a little settled, and what do you know?... I have this desire to be singing. I don't regret my decision of marriage over singing, I am the happiest I have ever been. BUT, I miss leading worship, I miss being with a singing group, I miss the stage (though I know that isn't the point, I can still enjoy it ok! haha), I miss the rush, the thrill, and most of all the sense of fulfillment that it brought for me.

I know it's not a closed book for me. Waiting isn't easy, but there is always room for a lesson in patience. I'll wait for as long is necessary. And in the meantime, singing in the car or shower, or every random place will do me just fine.

Hey Everyone!

This is my first blog on this website, so hopefully things go well :)... Really, I had to start this blog to talk to one of my friends, but I thought since I'm already here, I might as well say something! So here I am trying to think of something to say, haha...

Do I have:

Any Interesting stories? Nope, not right now

Maybe a deep thought? Just wait... it'll come to me eventually

A word of wisdom? Definitely not right now...

I guess all that I really have to say at this moment is have a wonderful weekend and enjoy yourselves wherever you are in this world, my friends. When something exciting happens, or I have news, you'll be the first to know...

Thanks for always loving and supporting me... I love you all!
