My first-ever piano concerto!I've often thought about performing my own songs in public, but have been afraid to do so. You see, I've played the piano since I was very young and love doing it, but for some reason, I freeze when I do it, so I rarely do it. Thankfully, I can record my music when no one's around, and I've had over 2 million streams of my music on Pandora alone! But a few months ago, God prompted me to play in public for a new Christmas musical I've just finished called, "His Name Was Nicholas." I wasn't planning on playing, but God lined things up to where I could hardly say no! So, I said yes and next weekend, I'll be playing for 3 shows only at the newly renovated Streator High School auditorium, along with a small band of great musicians, while another 100+ cast and crew act and sing the heart-touching story of the real-life-St. Nicholas. You can watch in-person or online for just $10, $15 or $20 in-person, or $10 to watch online (with as many people as you want to gather around one device!) Invite your family and friends! Tickets are available at: To hear the backstory of why I said yes, and how God used a timid prayer of faith many years ago for something I thought I could never have, listen to this message below! Then I hope you'll come and see the show, either in-person or online! God has a reason He wants me to play, and it involves you! Here's the message in a nutshell: In this message, I encourage you to come to God with faith like a child and ask Him for what you really want.
Sometimes we hold back from asking because we're afraid we're not worthy or that we'll be disappointed or that God may not really do it. But Jesus says we can ask, and He's already given up His life for us, so life a child coming to their father, I encourage you to come to Yours and ask. I share three stories related to a piano that a friend encouraged me to ask God for... and how God did more than all I could have asked or imagined through that prayer. Each story reminds me of what the Bible says about asking...
Have a great week, and I hope you'll watch my first-ever piano concerto! Again, you can get tickets from: |
