Welcome, Spring!
So things are starting to come back to life here in East Tennessee: The daffodils brought me great joy early in the season, and now all the trees are blooming in bright pinks, purples, and whites! It's pretty spectacular, and I am constantly amazed by how much color and beauty there is everywhere I look. Spring is a season of new life, and I feel my creativity stirred in similar fashion!
Right now I am finishing up my last week of the Writing Worship Mentorship, where I have been partnering online with songwriters all over the world to grow our skills in writing songs specifically for the Church. I have been diving deep into the Psalms, and writing more than I ever have on a regular basis! The positive feedback, and the ability to see the creativity in others has been so inspiring to me, and I can't wait to share the songs I have written, and will soon write as a result of this intense training!
We are starting to feel more settled in our home now, and I am greatly looking forward to planting seeds in my new garden, and discovering what kind of fruit will be produced here! Creatively, I have the same eager expectation, and can't wait to see how God will direct my steps in the songs I am to write/record next! In the meantime, I will keep doing all I can to grow my faith, and deepen my roots in my church and local community here. There is so much hope on the horizon!
