Welcome
Hello my dear friends! Here are some highlights of the past weeks~
First and most wonderful…Mike and I celebrated our 30th Anniversary on January 26th.
We made some huge moves and changes in our home.
My office area was very small and the ministry is growing, so we moved to a loft area upstairs
and now have a mini-studio set up there.
What a joy it is to have all our instruments, computer, mics, amps, filing cabinet, notes, music and stands all in one place.
We are already sensing a new freedom and new creativity. God is so wise.
Another joy of these first weeks of the new year has been the feathered visitors coming to our yard and bringing so much color and life to us. Juncos, cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, sparrows, jays and downy woodpeckers are our daily guests. This is the first winter that I have ever fed the birds, and it is delightful.
“His eye is on the sparrow…”
Packing up for a trip to Coshocton for a ladies retreat at Calvary Baptist Church.
Looks like our kitty is coming with us.
Leading worship at Calvary Baptist with Julia
Deb Searles (pastors’ wife at Calvary and dear friend) makes every retreat a sweet memory, along with her great team of ladies there. This is a time she set aside for women to sing their favorite hymns and choruses around a “campfire”… And there was so much heart sharing.
Deb leading on guitar… “As the deer panteth for the water…”
Amy holding one of Amanda’s twin darlings. Amanda has found great love and support from the church of Calvary Baptist since she is a young mom with a 2 yr old and her twins. The baby’s father passed away last year and Amy is clinging to her Heavenly Father (and He is showing her His Tangible Love through real people)
I was ending my second session, and had cut the last song for time’s sake, when Deb asked if I would please sing “Hold On.” She had no idea that was the song I had on my outline to close the session. Amazing.
A Legacy of Love
I just discovered this photo of my Grandma Brunetti in one of her old albums.
This is the one I wrote “Grandma’s Song” for when she passed away in the mid 90’s.
Thank you all who hosted and loved on me, or both me and Julia, this month. Looking forward to meeting so many of you in the months to come. And praying that you would know and always be convinced that you are “dwelling between the shoulders of God.”
How can we be afraid of anything when we are there?
