My musician friend Steve Haggard was kind enough to say a few words about me in his latest column "The Real Music City" in the Nashville Free Press. But, especially reading the posted comment that followed made me realize that it wasn't so much about me but about two things I believe in and that guide what I do.
The first is the message of encouragement that I've been "preaching" all these many years. I've said over and over again how critical encouragement is and how much it matters in people's lives. It changes lives and it brings hope when it seems there is none, and that power's in every one of us if we'd just use it on each other. Need more convincing? Please spend some time here.
The second is that I've noted on many occasions that this musician support work that I do is bigger than me. It was shown to me a long time ago that this was a calling for me. Trust and obedience are sometimes not easy things to hold on to as you're being used of God for a particular purpose. But if you're willing to hang in for the end result...it's priceless.
Easter weekend was a fitting time for this column to come out. I'm one grateful and thankful gal.
