Some Very Exciting News! Possibly!

    Today I got to jump back into the Studio and do some back up vocals for 

Whispered words (<--blog) .

After getting back behind that mic it made me really miss recording! The sound of His album
(which you can hear clips of here)

is super intensely awesome. I am so pumped to get my copy! Jared Funk (the man behind the music) is an amazing artist that I know from my home Church here in Saskatoon. I have gotten to know him through my worship team on Sunday mornings and consider it such a privilege to sing on his EP. I am always honoured when someone asks me to sing somewhere or for something important, as most of us would be. But to be able to sing on an EP or CD that is going to be around for a long time... I am feeling very blessed today.

I am also feeling blessed that I work at such a place that I could do this no problem! Without hesitation I knew that I could get the afternoon off to do this mini project. Working at a Church is a huge blessing in my life... It will be weird when my time there is done. I almost feel spoiled. In fact I DO feel spoiled. God has done so many great things in my life and has given me so many opportunities. Which leads me to my next point.

I want to make a new album! POSSIBLY this fall!!! I put that in BOLD and italic for a reason. 

1- There is no way we have the money to pull that off. 

2- I do not have enough songs written for an album... not even an EP! 

3- It will also depend on whether or not Revelation Studios has a time slot for me.

SO, if you find yourself praying about things.. feel free to pray about this huge next step for me! Whether its finding A LOT of money on the street with my name on it, or God continuing to give me his words and music to actually have content on the CD! Prayers would be excellent. Again, I want to give God all he glory for what He has done in me and through me. I am so blessed to be able to be even THINKING of the possibility of making a second album.

Speaking of which, if you don't have my first album "A place to call my own", they are only $15!!

Below are just a few pictures in the Studio today. Maybe I'll be back in there sooner than I thought!
<3 Blessings to you and your families!
Cheers! 

Music from the heart

      The last few days I've decided "why stay at home and watch Netflix, when I could go to work early and play a grand piano?". So, when I have successfully gotten myself out of bed, showered and ready to go... I head over to the chruch, drop everything in the office, and go sing/play for an hour +. It's becoming the best part of my day.
     There is something about just sitting down and letting it go to God. I love it. I am also finding it's easy to write in the mornings, which is a new concept for me. This morning I wrote a song which is still untitled, but it was such a blessing. I feel like God gave the words straight to me in order to proclaim His goodness in my life. And as a reminder to call upon His name at all times. He is always right there, waiting for me. Never letting go, always pursuing and always loving. He is good. There is power in the name of Jesus.
       If you would like to hear the new song, please feel free to head over to my facebook page and take a listen! I hope you find yourself in joy as you go about your day. You are loved. You are close to His heart. <3

Cheers!

VBS Dance Dare.

This week is VBS (Vacation Bible School) for our church! Grades 1-6 are coming from 9-12 everyday and hanging out with us! It is SO much fun, but man is it hard work!!  I have sadly cancelled my PT (personal trainer) this week because I would have to do that at 600am, and lets face is. That's just not... Going to happen. I get UP at 6am. Not work out for an hour at 6am. Okay, anyway I'm finding that I don't even need it this week! 

I am leading a station that all the kids come through where we go over the verse, ask a few questions, and then we sing and dance!! It's a lot of fun, but it's also great exercise! Who knew? 

On the topic of healthy lifestyle- I also just got Zumba in the mail!! So excited! If you don't already know, Zumba is an exercise program that is basically just dance! It takes all sorts of dances from around the world and puts them into a workout routine. The classes are taught with signals so it doesn't matter what language you speak, you can participate. And it's incredibly fun! So that's exciting. 

Just thought I would update you and let you know how things are going. Love you all! 

Day 1 of protein shake: mixed my chocolate powder with a scoop of peanut butter and water... Good. But couldn't drink it all. Ill get better. 

Pun status to end the day from fb: I was going to deliver a pun for the end of the day but I fear I may start getting hate mail if I post too many. At least I have a few stamps of approval.. My husband still loves me. So that's a plus! NIGHT!
