They resonate deeply with me; you're not alone in your journey of stepping out, having a God-sized dream. Don't give up!

It is amazing how He uses the people in our lives to show the value of what we're doing, though. The response to this post in and of itself - and only hours after publishing it - has just blown me away!<br /><br />I can't wait to hear what you think of my music - both the good and the bad. I think music is one of the greatest gifts, too, and being able to share my music with others is one of the greatest privileges I could ever imagine - even if it scares me sometimes.<br /><br />God bless you, friend, and thank you so much for stopping by!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982915577379777268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52882048944895389.post-47365119350864957562013-01-09T21:45:20.860-05:002013-01-09T21:45:20.860-05:00Thank you, Christina!

It really is amazing - the way He works through the weak and the unlikely - it's just harder when He's asking to do it in your life than when you're looking at someone else's.<br /><br />Thank you! I'm glad to be able to share it with you! I hope He does bless people through this, and get glory. It would be such a privilege to be a part of that!<br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982915577379777268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52882048944895389.post-60564752354564844402013-01-09T20:48:49.347-05:002013-01-09T20:48:49.347-05:00Mary, this post really hit home with me on several...Mary, this post really hit home with me on several levels. I have felt shy the way you describe. I too, feel called to writing and putting myself out there. I know what you mean about feeling unsure of what to charge, if people will really like it etc. I just experienced that with my artwork, totally underselling myself because I didn't know if people would really think it worth it. God used my neighbor to help me see that worth by what she was willing to pay me. I want to listen to your music...been trying to set up some speakers on this old computer and when I do, I will listen. I think music is one of the greatest gifts! Blessings to you... and I'm so glad you stopped by at my site too!Pamhttp://wordglow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52882048944895389.post-75468474840461369742013-01-09T19:35:24.374-05:002013-01-09T19:35:24.374-05:00I feel exactly the same about my writing.

Your post really was a blessing to me! I've bookmarked your blog so I can stop by more often!<br /><br />Thank you so much! It's good to hear other people's opinions about my music - especially when they're good ones! It's easy for me to be overly critical of myself and believe that none of my songs are any good.<br /><br />Yes, please, share it wherever and however you want! Knowing that you want to do that means more than you know! And please come back here and share it with me!<br /><br />God bless <i>you</i>, friend, and many, many thanks!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982915577379777268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52882048944895389.post-13158770710479776642013-01-09T17:03:32.930-05:002013-01-09T17:03:32.930-05:00Hi Mary,

So glad you stopped over to my place and introduced yourself today. I am blessed to see such lovely, honest lyrics and melodies from such a young person. Really. If you don't mind, I will share your new album on fb, in case any of my friends would be interested. <br />Bless you and congrats on your new release! :)kelli woodfordhttp://jasonandkelliwoodford.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
