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.
I went to lunch with Doug again yesterday. We talked in the Haven for an hour and a half, and then he asked if I would go to the practice rooms and play something for him. I played "We Are the Church." That was my Bible project, you know. He said it was exactly what he said in his paper. Then he asked me to play another one. I did one that I wrote the summer between my junior and senior year which is called "A Very Special Friend." He told me I convey emotion very well in my songs. That really touched me because that is what I want to do. Without emotion, my music is nothing. "It's not a song till it touches your heart," Amy Grant sang.
I felt so inferior when I was singing in chapel the other day. Julie and Melissa were singing with me, and another girl sang a beautiful Sandi Patti song and did a beautiful job. They are all music majors and sing in little groups and the Anderson University chorale, and I don't even sing in women's chorus. I was there because I wanted to be there. "Maybe that should be my strength," I said.
I am a member of Lighted Path, a directory of Christian diaries.
