One Song, Different Parts

Over the past few years I have been a part of a worship team. It has been a learning experience for me as most of what I learned to sing growing up had been solos and singing the lead part in songs.  It has been interesting for me to step out of my comfort space vocally and learn to hear and sing the harmonies in our song sets. It is a beautiful thing to sit with my team and sing the same song, but know and celebrate the unique, distinct parts that each singer adds to the song.  We sing the same song for the same Person, but each singer sings a unique part of that song.

The song written for us as Christians in Jesus’ Kingdom should be sung with one voice.  The song of our lives should do nothing less than lead people to know Him.  The beauty of it though is that each one under Christ has a distinct part to sing. No one can sing our part, but as we tune our ear to hear His song He sings over us, we will then be singing a beautiful harmony part that blends beautifully with the other voices singing Heaven’s song.
The part of my life song that has been with YFC Portage is ending.  I have been lead of the Lord to be done with Portage YFC on June 29th, 2018!   This is a decision that I am excited about and have been led to in peace.  There is a new part to be sung in the song of my life and what that is has not been clearly revealed to me yet.  I do know however that this new song will not be sung louder or out of competition with YFC Portage.  It will still be the same song of pointing people to Jesus and yet my part is leading me to go down  a different path.  I am leaving YFC Portage grateful to God for His work in me over the last 6 years, His work in the Youth and in the Portage YFC family.

Please pray for me as I discern God’s heart for the next part of the song in my life and know that for all of you who have walked with me, prayed for me, gave financially & supported me I am grateful!  Your part in the song has been needed and so strong. You will receive further info on what’s next and what this means for you as my ministry partners in the near future.  Thank you & keep praying for me!


I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Psalm 32:8


P.S. Here's a little video singing with my oldest brother at Christmas.  Thankful that the big strong arms of my Jesus will never let me go.  My hands are open to the One who will never let me go!

From Familiar to Fascination

Image
  My prayer app says it every morning lately.  “…Spirit, move my heart from familiar to fascinated until it is ablaze with your unfailing love.”  And my heart knows that’s what it needs. I’ve had times when things have become so familiar to me that it has lost its fascination in me. But oh how I want to be fascinated again with God. Oh how I want the transformation of Jesus in my life. Where things aren’t boring or just dead and mundane, but to be in wonder.   Recently my sisters have come to visit on their vacations with their kids. It’s amazing the buzz around the house when people are visiting and it feels exciting not to know from one day to the next whether you’ll be hitting the beach or going on another drive with Dad to hear all the stories of days gone by. And for a moment the mundane feeling fades and you are met with a little excitement because someone(s) that you love has come to visit. This is what movement from familiar to fascinating feels like. Excitem...

A Prayer for LA

  “Jesus of Nazareth, God of Golgotha,   Just days ago these people were celebrating (in homes they’ve lost, some with loved ones they’ve lost) your coming at Christmas. Come again I pray to our broken world. Sit with those suffering in the City of Angels, weep with us in the valley of devastation. Kyrie Eleison, Lord have mercy … Creator God,    I ask you for meteorological miracles - an urgent change to the Santa Ana winds, the visitation of rain. Protect and strengthen first responders and firefighters working ceaselessly to quell the flames… Renew them I pray with supernatural strength.  Kyrie Eleison, Lord have mercy …  Consuming Fire,    We are brought to our knees, confronted by the fragility of life. Let salvation arise from devastation. Lord of Los Angeles, God of the Angel Armies, rescue us. Deliver us. Save us… that we may turn again to you. Kyrie Eleison, Lord have mercy …” —Written by Pete Grieg

If There Was No Visit…

  If there was no visit Then all the waiting would’ve been in vain. If there was no visit  then Mary would have just been an ordinary girl not chosen or highly favoured.  If there was no visit  Joseph would have divorced and kept his reputation.  If there was no visit  Elizabeth’s baby wouldn’t have leapt for joy.  If God hadn’t visited wisemen would still be searching, poor Shepherd’s would not have carried such Good News and there would no peace, no hope no —faith no salvation for the world.   If there was no visit  Abraham would’ve stayed and Isaac would’ve been sacrificed. Jacob would not have dreamed and Moses would not have lead. Elijah would’ve stayed under the broom tree and David would not have been strengthened before Goliath. Solomon would lack wisdom and Deborah would be just a woman under a tree. Esther would not have lead her nation to protection and Rahab would never see the power of the scarlet cord. If there were no visit...
