This morning I am taking a leap of faith by inviting you into some of my life story, with the song Peace from The Voice playing in the background. Thanks to the 315 Project for capturing this 3-minute version of my faith story so beautifully on film.
How does my story connect with yours?
I would love to hear from you and will respond personally. You can comment through the blog or contact me via email. Thanks for watching and God bless you in your journey today and this week!
Your music is beautiful as are the words you have shared. God bless you in your journey.
Thank you so much Jay Lynne. I am grateful you enjoy my music and these words. God bless you too in your journey, and the story He is writing through you!
What a wonderful testimony. I have walked a similar path, and was moved to tears by hearing about your journey today. Thank you so much for letting God use you, speaking to us through your music. It is an amazing blessing in a dark, hurting world.
Dear Susan, thank you so much for reading and listening. I am grateful to God for prompting me to share this today, even if He meant it only to be an encouragement to you. God bless you and looking forward to keeping in touch!
Stanton, it is such an encouragement to hear your beautiful music, but even more than that. Paul tells us in Phil 4:8, “…Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” He’s asking us to fill our minds with what is beautiful, and your music is one of those things. Your music uplifts me, and–knowing Who your inspiration comes from–reminds me of Jesus’ love and grace, when i might otherwise lose sight of it. God bless you, too, and thank you so much.
This is one of my favorite passages Susan. It is amazing how Phil. 4 verses 6, 7, and then 8 are such a rich layering of grace and truth. My Tenor Plah blog post was about Phil. 4:8.
Stanton, thank you so much for pointing me to your posting, “Tenor Plah”. I just read it, and I’ll never forget the sequence of “true, noble, right, pure, lovely, or admirable” things we are to fill our minds with. One of my favorite verses, too, and even more so now. God is clearly speaking through you to me and to many others, and we all are a bit closer to heaven for having heard your music. Blessings to you as you continue your musical ministry.
You’re welcome Susan. Thanks very much for your reading, listening and encouragement with my blog posts and music. Blessings!
Stanton, I’ve felt a deep heart connection with you, as well as your beautiful music from the first time I heard you play. There are more parallels to our lives than I can express here. God has always provided the people and resources in my life when I needed them. You and your music are a daily blessing. I pray I meet you in the days to come; perhaps hear you in one of your concerts this year!
May God bless you as you serve Him with your gifts,
Barbara
Thank you so much for sharing Barbara. I am grateful to God for introducing you to my music and story, and for using them as an encouragement in your walk with Him. I too hope I can work out some Florida concert dates that will bring me to your community or close enough for you to attend. Blessings!
That was beautiful and inspiring! I was given one of your cds a few years ago by a very dear friend who knew I was experiencing some tough times and she hoped your music would bring me comfort, peace and hope. It did all that and more. Your music is what I turn to to relax, decompress and relieve stress. I try to read the Bible verse upon which each song is written and meditate on the Words as I listen. I had the pleasure of seeing you in concert last year in the Atlanta area, it was a blessing! Thank you for your music and the encouragement it offers.
God bless you!
Hilary
Thank you so much Hilary. It is a great blessing to know my music is an encouragement to you. I am thrilled to hear that you use the verses for meditation while listening. God bless you too, and thank you for keeping in touch! Stanton
