Independence Day....Summer Has Arrived!
Hey everyone! I hope this message finds you well. Summer has definitely arrived in Utah - - with a vengeance. It has been in the high 90's for about a week now. I love it when people say, "It's a dry heat!" When it is 99 degrees - - it's hot!!! Tonight, I have no plans, so I came home, ate some chilled fruit - - and am thanking the Lord for my central air in front of the TV with a good movie!
I have been pretty busy over the recent weeks. Putting some finishing touches on some new songs; working on fresh arrangements of a couple of Kj. classics ("You Are My Joy" & "I'm Always Here); and have begun the investigation process to begin work on my third CD which will be entitled "The Chair." If everything goes well, I am hoping to begin the recording process by early September. (Someone has already committed $2,000 toward the recording)! Thank the Lord!
Very recently (this past Saturday in fact), I started to wonder if I wanted to keep doing the music thing. I still love it - - but was it worth it? Was I really reaching people with my music? Could the Lord really use someone like me? Now I am not putting this out there for any kind of response. I am just trying to be vulnerable and tell you how I was feeling.
Saturday afternoon, I opened my e-mail, and received an answer from the Lord, through this amazing, wonderful sister. This wonderful woman who the Lord used to tell me that it is worth it. People were being reached - - -and He was using me. Let me share a little bit of her e-mail with you...
"So friend...I just wanted you to know that this morning, I played your CD and it was balm to my soul....Your music ministered to me. The simplicity and searing sincerity of your songs brings comfort and a sense of closeness to our Farther. Don't forget that this day...one person happened to write you and tell you how revisiting one of your CD's blessed them.....we realize that God does know, does care, is there...because He provided exactly what we needed at that time...through one of your songs."
To say that I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. I love the Lord. I am thankful that He has allowed me to share the gifts He has given me with you. To each of you who are a part of this ministry through your friendship, your love and your support, thank you would never be enough.
I love you! Thanks for loving me back!
Kj.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!
