April Diary

Spring is the time of new beginning. Old is gone; new has come. Where dead figs once lay like residue, fresh blossoms begin to appear. How awesome!

I am writing allot of new material now, and trying to rehearse and get ready for when the Lord calls me to perform. I heard today that my CD is being shipped to Lifeway, and now we are trying to break the hold these corporations have on radio. I received an email today telling me its going to be $245,898.00 dollars and if I wire this to an account at Royal Bank in Canada, they will spin my single on all Christian stations nationwide. How sad. So that’s what it takes huh? Good thing it’s spring.

I take spring as a reminder from God that He loves new beginnings. When everything feels dead and dull and barren, God gives life. I love this about my Lord.

Now, as I look out the window and see the grass’s green growing in its vibrancy, the trees budding, and finally, after a long Washington winter, the sun shining on all in sight I’m reminded of God’s faithfulness. Like spring, God never fails to show up. He’ll never forsake us. With this thought, my heart swells.

Spring, too, is the time for singing. As the birds of the air who lift their voices at the arrival of spring, so must we. Praising the Lord is a must in the springtime. He is worthy of such. Though, we don’t deserve it, He grants us a fresh start–– a new beginning. He remains faithful, even when we betray him in our disobedience. When we deserve eternal winter, he gives rain, sun, and life.

So, this spring, whether you’re a passionate singer or an off-key, hands-in-pocket head nodder, give God the glory. Worship Him, for He is faithful. He gives new beginnings. If you need a ‘restart,’ He’ll give it to you. He’s that good.
