We stand alone

On the way to Nashville. My bags are being packed . I'm ready to go. I hope to come back with an award. When you get nominated for an award and have a few other nominees,
It is always tricky to assume. It boils down to the subjective choice of a panel. Here's praying somebody loves my smiling face that launched a thousand ships ! To be nominated is already good, but hey, we need to get to the next level. Good to great. So help me God. I am quite looking forward too to the opportunity to showcase my music in Nashville before fellow artists and distinguished industry people in the audience.. That's life. Give it always your best shot.

Yesterday, I took the praise and worship for an evening service at my church and all
the 10 singers to be background vocals just did not show up for one reason or the other ! I just went on regardless with the keyboardist and bass guitarist. It also happened to be one of those nights when we couldn't get a drummer. The pastor even offered to sing along, but we politely declined. What do you know. It went well. Praise to his name. A team is great, but each member of the team must learn the art of being secure to stand on your own with God at the end of the day. The icing on the cake for me, was that I had decided to do a solo/special, which was not originally planned in the service schedule. So I got the track ready with the Sound engineer. Told the senior pastor about the song, which he said he agreed in principle. So before he preached, he asked me to sing the song. It the song made popular by Byron Cage (Gospel artist) called The presence of the Lord is here and my did God show up. The church was turned upside down, the congregation really got into it and you could see my senior pastor all beaming from ear to ear ! Guess what, at the end of the service, he asked for an encore !
