God is continuing to show me his amazing love. He’s showing me through my family, my friends, my boss… the list goes on.
Its crazy sometimes, how I can still find negativity in the middle of all this blessing…. Its almost like the enemy can’t get me in some of the areas he used to, so he’s going to get me somewhere else. Usually ends up being my singing.
Being able to sing has pretty much defined who I am since about the age of 10. My stuffed animals and baby dolls knew I could sing before that, but my family didn’t figure it out until I was 10. My mom heard me singing to an Amy Grant album and that was it…. I was singing in church, that Sunday, to a recording of “Giggle”, recorded from the album to a cassette tape and played on a boom box. Stephen Wallace would cringe… 
But that was it. From then on, it seemed that my very identity was placed solely on this one ability. As a result, its become a great target for the enemy to use to make me second guess myself, those in leadership over me, and God.
Ricsha talked about negative thoughts today in Ladie’s First…and I can’t wait to get started on the devotional she wrote. A recent conversation with my good buddy, Chele, came crashing to the front of my head as Ricsha was talking. The enemy had me in a negative place where I was second guessing my abilities, my assignment on the worship team, and what God thinks about me. He started to tell me that I was being punished for things I’ve done…and that’s what I get for doing this or that. I then verbalized it to Chele…and then I believed it. Oh my goodness…. am I so glad that this was caught and the Lord revealed it to me for what it was… A LIE!!! A lie from old red legs (that’s what my mom calls him… )
With all that God is doing in my life right now… I just don’t have the time, nor the patience, for the enemy’s lies or tactics to bring me down. God is blessing me left and right…and allowing me to bless others as well. He’s still sooooo amazing!!!
