Faith and Dreams, Fallow Them!




The music was in my head but I was still learning about writing and promoting myself. I was watching the 700 Club on TV and they was having a Song Writers Convention and you could win a recording contract. I was so excited, I walked out on faith that I would get the money to go to Virginia and sing for everyone there the new song God had just gave me. I called and signed up.The days to come where exciting and hard. I kept believing I was going to get the money somehow. Then one day the doors started opening up and people gave me the money to go. It is amazing how God works if you just keep believing no matter what negative things come your way just believe and keep confessing by Faith what you are believing for and watch God move.When I got there you could feel the Spirit of God all over that place, "The Founders Inn." I wanted to sing in the ballroom but I didn't get my money sent in on time but I was still happy just to have the opportunity being there. I began signing up for every work shop I could to learn more about singing, song writing and promoting yourself. I remember praying to God if it was possible, if he would open a door for me to sing the beautiful song He gave me? I still didn't have the music down but I would sing it anyway.After we came back from watching the tapping of "The 700 Club Show", we had a break before our next class. I was walking down the hall and God told me to go to this door and walk in. I was curious so I opened the door and walked right in. Not knowing what or who was in that room.
As soon as I walked in I heard a womens voice to my left say, you can you sing tonight? I didn't know she was talking to me at first. I turned and looked at her and she ask me again. I looked at her and said "are you asking me?" She said, "yes, can you sing? Do you have music, tracks or a instrument?" "The girl who was scheduled has stage fright and won't perform so I said I was giving that spot to the very next person who walked through that door." If I wouldn't have walked through that door when God told me to I would have lost that opportunity I prayed about.I was so excited and I told her I would sing but I didn't have music and she let me sing "Blessed Jesus" in front of a packed ballroom of artists and promoters. I was scared but I enjoyed every moment of that experience. The point I am making is no matter what, don't give up on Faith and Dreams you have. If it is right it will happen. Trust God and walk by Faith, the doors will open for you. Believe in yourself and keep practicing, learning all you can about the field you have talent in and mix it with your goals and desires. Don't give up just find ways to perfect your dreams. Remember to put God first and walk by Faith.I will be sharing other stories like this with you each week. I made this site to Inspire others to fallow there Dreams!I am sorry it took a while to start writing here but I lost my Mom in October and It has been hard to get back to writing. I am ready now and feel that this will help me with my grieving process. I miss my mom but I know she would want me to keep working with my writing, she is in a better place now and always taught me to never give up on my dreams.

Amazing how things our parents say to us began to resonate as we grow and become wiser.

Never give up on your faith and dreams. Anything can happen as long as you believe.
