Lord I want to fall even more in love with you.
open my eyes to see
My heart to feel
and my arms to do.
Lord I want to be a witness to your name.
Help me to sing
help me to speak
for only YOUR fame.
Lord I want everything I am to be testimony of who you are.
That You came
You died
and you are never far.
Lord I want to fall even more in love with you.
I want to be completely consumed.

I love to sing
Hey all! So last night was the premiere performance of the spanish songs I have been working on.
The last few months have been spent working my tail off, preparing for the performance at the Flint Art Walk last night. It's been a rocky road getting ready for this. When we first started the process I was so frustrated because I couldn't sing the songs right away and had a hard time learning them. (They may have been the hardest songs I've ever sung).
I've always said that I don't want to be a performer. That I can't do it because I am not good enough, because I feel like dying right before I go on, because others are better than I am.
Here's the thing. I get nervous, I cry before a performance (usually) and there will always be someone better than me; but when I walk onto the stage and I start to sing, when I can hear my high notes ringing in awesomeness I KNOW that's where I am supposd to be.
Last night I performed six songs, including the two original spanish songs written by my peers and I did an awesome job. There were mistakes. There will always be mistakes. But I got up there, and I trusted the gift that God chose to give me for some reason. I sang my heart out. I looked out and saw people there who cared and were rooting for me and I sang. I sang like I've really never sung before.
I am very honored to have been asked to perform these songs, and I am sad that the performance is over! I can't wait to see what else God has in store for me. this experience made me grow as a person and a performer and I can't wait to do it again and get better at it. I'm hooked. Singing/performing is apart of who I am and I cannot ignore that.
until next time,
Heather
