The saints told me to "be ye always ready...."

Has anyone else ever used this statement in a joke?

So, Gospel Heritage Praise and Worship Conference 2010.  My hubby, E.J. Gaines (also known as the Gospel Pundit) was set to speak on a couple of panels at this conference last week.  I was going to support him and be a good wifey, right?

We get to the conference, and he speaks on a panel.  He was WONDERFUL!  I mean, he did his thing.  Before the next panel discussion, though, we (along with the other panelists) were ushered into a private room to eat lunch.  It was a pretty large room with several smaller rooms off of it.  After about 15 minutes, a booming voice and very tall figure comes out of one of the smaller rooms labeled "Interview Room."  It's Donnie McClurkin. 

Now, I had met Donnie McClurkin before, and he was very nice with encouraging words for my journey.  I went over just to say hello, and within 30 seconds, he had invited me to lead Praise and Worship with him.

I was more nervous than I can explain with this keyboard.   I led part of worship that night, and learned that I really have to be ready for anything at anytime in this journey!  It went well, could've gone better (I'm my worst critic), but I was so grateful for the opportunity.  The statement I have ALWAYS used jokingly kinda became a lesson for me last week.  Figures.  God usually does me this way. lol

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to my blog!  I'll be blogging periodically about this journey the Lord has me on called music ministry.  I heard the call almost two years ago, and it's been an amazing faith-walk already.  I went from deciding to be a religion professor who sings at her local church to pursuing music ministry full time, and God has definitely been faithful in my obedience.

As of recently, I'm a member of the Women of Faith Worship Team, and I'll be traveling with the Imagine tour this year (2010).  I'm uber-excited and grateful to God for the opportunity.  And when I tell you that the Women of Faith organization has all their ducks in a row... I mean!  They keep it together!

Outside of Women of Faith, I am working to sing as much as possible and in as many places as possible.  So, I'll be keeping you updated on the interesting aspects of this journey.

I'll be checking back to read comments, so make sure you leave some!  Enjoy....
