New Album Coming Soon!

I've entered into pre-production of the new CD.  I'm not sure what we're going to call it yet, but I think I have an idea.

Here are a few of the titles that will be going on the CD!
If you've been to any of the concerts, or times of worship, you may have heard some of the new songs.  The songs go deeper this time and I experimented musically and lyrically, a bit more.  I've had such a joy writing these new songs and crying my way through them in my quiet times.  Some are just fun to sing and tap to!  Still raw and sincere... and definitely about Jesus!

1. Send Me (Translated the chorus into Swahili when I went to Kenya: missions oriented song!)
2. New Day (A very hopeful song for all who care for the orphans and widows!)
3. Hey!  (I was inspired by my current high school colleagues - yes, my college class meets at a high school.)  :)
4. No In-Between  (Relates to the media and pop culture, and our need for God)
5. Overflow  (A twist on Psalm 23)
   
6. Rest (Definitely for every weary sojourner who needs rest!)
   
7. You Are Near (A song I wrote for dear friends who lost their child.)
   

That's just a taste of the titles!  If you find yourself praying, pray that we'll be led in the right directions as far as arrangements, production, producer, studio, and funding! 

What does it mean to be in pre-production? 

1. I am working on arranging the songs.
2. Putting the songs down on paper (Commercial Nomenclature)  If I get real adventurous, I might score at least the melodies.  That's a stretch with my schedule.
   
3. I am meeting with other musicians/songwriters, and trusted listeners to get ears on the songs for some important critical feedback.
   
4. I will be recording a demo to give my trusted listeners' "ears" something to critique.
   
5. Looking at different studios and producers.
   
6. Discovering budgets and expenses.
   
7. Praying and asking for prayer. 
   
8. Seeking out financing.  (Whatever that means, i.e. saving, working, etc...)  :)
   

 

This will be a long process, we're only in the beginning!  So, it could be a while before you hear a finished piece, but I hope to share glimpses with you along the way!
Thank you for your support and prayers!

Thanks for visiting my web site! I pray you'll be blessed by what you find here.

Phillippians 1:3;6:3- I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

If we allow God to begin a work in our hearts, He will finish that work. It is no coincidence who we meet in life, and what we hear, read, or come to know, if we allow God to work it all out in our lives, we will see His purposes made clear in every facet of our lives and those around us.

May our lives be that which God uses to bring about His Love, His Joy, and His peace to the lives of those around us. May He bring us individually: His discipline, His correction, His loving rebuke, that we might be changed by Him to be used by Him. So that, those around us, might know Him by how He loves them through us. It all comes down to knowing Him through Jesus, the only name under heaven by which men can be saved. May you be filled with that hope in Jesus today.
