NEW SONG


I have written a new song this week. This is a change to God is Near. 
I have moved on alot in the last year. I am starting to realise more and more that each day I can start again because of Jesus. I do not have to be creating big expectations for myself as the world does of me. 
I can enjoy each day despite my problems because it's a day the Lord has made. I have the freedom to do something different and I pray even though sometimes things are tough and I do have alot of pain some days, that God has the glory in each situation. We do not know His plan but we have access to freedom and be close to Jesus because of what He did for us on the cross. 
I am greatful to Beth for her encouragement when I am writing songs. And with thanks to her for her beautiful harmonies on here. It's not perfect as a recording would be but it's just me being creative in my lessons and enjoying what I do.

My first performance since 1999.

I would like to share with you this video. As some of you know, I have been having singing lessons for over to years now. On December 21st 2013, I did my first performance since my vocal chords were damaged in heart surgery back in 1999.
I was suffering a bit from a cold that weekend, but I was determined to get up on that stage and do my best. God has done alot with my voice. When I first tried Mamma mia, I could not even attempt 'yes I have been broken hearted' over a year ago. 
I hope you enjoy the video, that my father in law helped me put together. It was at Rugby cracketeria to raise money for charity. It was a fantastic evening and thank you to those who came and supported the evening.
