I have been singing on
Suday's with our
contemporary song group for the past 7 weeks. (today was my last time until 2009) I connect with God so well when I am singing.
After 7 weeks of listening to my practice CD in the car
Ashlynd has an opinion of here favorite Contemporary Christian songs. So as we drive to and from school each day she asks for "Sweeter".
http://www.imeem.com/people/xUSbv9k/music/RPzRAfVE/travis_cottrell_sweeter/Ashlynd went to practice with me on Saturday and Sunday and had so much fun dancing and singing along to Sweeter as the group practiced. To lighten up service today I took her up on stage for the final song - Sweeter. ( I wish I had it on video) I knelt down so that Ashlynd and I could share the mic, well Ashlynd had other plans. We began the choris and I whispered in her ear sing louder sweetheart. (that must have been all she needed) Out came the joyous voice from my angel, as we went into each verse Ashlynd began to just take the entire mic out of my hand and by the middle of the song she had total control of the mic and acted like a pro as she joyful sang on key, pitch and tone, her favorite song, to the LORD. The ironic thing is the gospel message today was about sharing you talents..it's awesome how God works even through children to get a message across.
Ashlynd had her first school performace before Thanksgiving. It was precious to see the the 2 classes of 3 year olds singing 3 songs with hand motions. The kids then gave each parent a photo album of everything they had done in the first months of school. These are just a few of Ashlynds' priceless expressions. Their next show is coming up in a few weeks, Angel Band....
