Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
"Undivided Heart" by Twila Paris has found new meaning for me today. I was selected to sing "We Are the Church" in next Thursday's chapel service. I am excited, but I really do want to glorify You. I felt Your call so strongly in the beginning! The desire to be recognized did not even enter my mind. Then it did, and I have to admit that lately my desire has not been to glorify You.
Last Sunday I sang "I Commit My Love to You" at Mike's church. That song and "Cry for the Desert" became very real to me that weekend. I wanted to glorify You in that moment, to allow You to reach out and touch those people through that song.
I want my life to be a journey with You. I want to submit to You daily and to strengthen my relationship with You. I want You to teach me to recognize what is true. I want You to give me a burden for people and to teach me how to be You to them. I begin by opening my mind and heart to You today.
I am a member of Lighted Path, a directory of Christian diaries.
