choosing *peace*

Hey!

Long time no post! Sorry i’ve been off the radar a bit. Been hectic as you can imagine wedding planning. But am going to hopefully be blogging regularly and updating more music. Had a great gig last week at Emmanuel in Fazakerley in Liverpool.

Thanks so much for having me guys. It was a real privilege and honour to share stories and music with you. Hadn’t had a gig in a while, but wasn’t nervous as on 20 May a miracle happened. I played at my lovely friend’s wedding and had the lovliest and craziest experience:

So i went to the rehearsal at the church on the Friday. It was beautiful to see the bride and groom the day before they became man and wife. But i was very overwhelmed. I just had a massive sense of ‘marriage’ and actually.. that it is massive. And my job on the Saturday was to lead worship, which began to become a very big deal in my small little head. Anyway, when i got home after the rehearsal on the Friday afternoon, i was very emotional. I wept for an hour and a half. It was really bizarre, but the tears kept flowing. I felt like god was definetly doing something in me, and preparing me for the wedding!

Saturday arrived and i was completely at peace. I think i was the most content i have ever been in my life. Which generally shouldn’t be the case if your about to play at a wedding! God really answered my prayer. I knew that god had chosen me to lead worship at this wedding and as i seeked his peace, he completely drenched it on me. You’ll be happy to know, that the weeping on the friday, meant that i had cried all my tears so i could get through all the songs on the Saturday! thank you lord!

God has been speaking to me a lot about peace this year. In Proverbs 31 it speaks about the character of a noble wife. She’s incrediable. Upon first glance, scarily so. But actually i read again through eyes of peace (that Jesus freely gives) and it’s beautiful and a life that is attainable. When you first read it, you can read with a hint of, ‘well, that’s not possible’. But i believe it is as i have fully experience this peace which goes beyond your circumstance. Jesus did not die on the cross for us not to have a life of peace and joy. And whatever circumstance we are going through or trial or mountain that we face, however big or small it may seem, we can have total peace. I’ve truly experienced it/ I was so nervous leading up to Michele’s wedding, but slowly as each day i chose peace, the fear went and i was filled with faith. Today choose faith over fear, peace over doubt. If god has got something for you to do, he is going to give you everything you need to do it.

Thank you lord for your perfect peace.

JUNE 13TH – I’m speaking and sharing songs (and a couple of new ones) at Stockport AGlow at Kro Bar next Monday. Starts at 7pm. Would love to see you there. They are always amazing meetings where god loves to bless His daughters. Come hungry to receive and be refreshed. He has more for you.

And a quick update from Uganda – was able to give £20 from CD sales to Jane. She’s out there right now in Uganda. Can’t wait to hear all the stories! So far a blind guy has been healed and they have been giving out gifts to the sponsored children. God is good!

God Bless
