Angels show up in the strangest of places

I've always talked about how I want to use music to minister. I suck at public speaking, preaching, telling my story. I sing what I can't say.

I want to be a light for Christ for those who don't know. I want to put out the kind of music that a young girl can listen to and say "I'm there, and I want to know how to get out," so that I can tell her that Jesus is her one way out of the unbearable pain.

It all sounds so corny, but it's what I've wanted since I became a Christian. I stopped wanting to be a vet. I love music. I wanted to go into music. And I wanted to go into Christian music. If not, I wanted to get involved in music ministry at a church.

I guess that's why I fell in love with LLSOW when I heard about it. Jen Ledger having gone there and being the amazing musician she is has had me convinced that the SOW not only puts God into a whole different perspective, but it brings out the best in musically gifted people. I've craved the ability to go there, to tour the grounds, to attend a meeting at LLCC, and see just what it's ALL about. Now I'm back into my usual "does God REALLY want that from me?"

But then I think about my one and only dream, and wonder if that's a sign from Him that maybe...just maybe...this is what I'm supposed to do. This, or buy a portable keyboard, go into missions, and go to Africa and preach the Word through music for little children. I think missions in Africa or Japan would be something I would like to do, as long as I got to incorporate music into the deal. I think God has formed an inseparable bond between it and me :)
