Dreams, we all have them. Some hidden from public view, some far off and seemingly out of reach. Always in my wildest dreams I would imagine myself standing on a stage, becoming a Christian artist and ministering to others through songs. I never really expected that dream to become a reality but God has written a life story for each of us that is beyond anything we would ever dare to ask or imagine.
We had been ministering at a church in Clay Center, KS. After the service, a man came up and asked us if we had a CD available (this was becoming a frequent question and we had been exploring the possibility of making an album.) This guy told us that he had a friend who was a producer and that he was going to contact him and see if we could get connected. I thought to myself, “Yeah right, like a producer is going to call us.” As it turned out, God did work everything out and a few weeks later we were meeting Joe Mills (our producer for Eternity Focus) for the first time. He talked to us about making a CD and encouraged us to write our own music. That was definitely a challenge for someone who couldn’t even write a publishable poem. He told us about how song structure worked and we took that information and traveled home.
All the way home that night, I thought about the awesomeness of God. How he really can do more than we would dare to imagine and truly does have a perfect plan for our lives. At times, I thought that God’s plan for me was anything but perfect and had fought it tooth and nail. However, He was always patient with me and when I finally surrendered my will to His, He takes what I give Him and uses it for His glory.
That night as I looked into the night sky studded with a fabulous array of stars I was awed my God’s majesty. How could the Creator of the Universe care about my life and the dreams? Not only care, but cause them to become realities… Inspired, I went to my room and wrote the song Unmistakable. The song has since won a national award (another one of my dreams come true) and has touched countless lives.
Only when we are totallly surrendered to God, is He able to bring glory to His name through our lives. Ephesians 3:20
