Shabbat Shalom! I hope that you have had shalom with God this weekend. I have been disturbed with a phenomenon going on in the church. This is not a new trend by any means. The phenomenon is worship music! Sounds kinda strange and off beat, right? Well, in some ways it is. I sit in… Continue reading If We Took Worship Songs Seriously …

Bring A Little Color Everywhere You Go
"Bring a little color everywhere you go." Doesn't that just sound fun? Well, I (unintentionally) did just that today. About a month ago my friend asked me if I wanted to try a cultural experience. I'm always up for trying new things so I eagerly agreed. My friend took me to a Mennonite German fundraiser.… Continue reading Bring A Little Color Everywhere You Go

Beautiful Music Through The Walls
Happy Wednesday! God has been teaching me a few things and I cannot wait to share. Recently I was at school and had a free period. I decided to practice a vocal solo that I have coming up.

Hands Cuffed

Once Upon A Time
The world is obsessed with telling stories. In nearly every aspect of life stories are being told and heard. Television, books, art, social media, dance, plays, and performances.

Be-YOU-tee-FULL

Women of all ages are constantly bombarded with images of what the media says we are suppose to look like, especially teenagers. Teenagers are vulnerable and ultimately looking for acceptance. February was National Eating Disorder Awareness month. I apologize that I did… Continue reading Be-YOU-tee-FULL
