Greetings dear friends. \u00a0It’s a split week this week as Patty left today for Yazoo City and I’m here working, rehearsing, rehabbing my voice, as well as preparing upcoming programs.<\/p>\n
Patty’s trip was uneventful which is the way we prefer it, of course. \u00a0Her dad seems to be doing well after some recent struggles. \u00a0She will be handling some paperwork and getting with him on a few things before she heads \u00a0back home.<\/p>\n
This time I’ve experienced with the vocal issues has been a good time at home allowing me to focus or refocus on this ministry. \u00a0There will be needed adjustments in presentations but we pray that through the rehearsal and rehabbing time that things will go well. \u00a0I believe that part of the frustration is looking for things to be fully functional and “back to normal” perhaps to quickly. \u00a0After the thought occurred to me, God reminded me of the journey of the Christian walk. \u00a0It’s a gradual, daily, moment by moment walk with the Lord, through valleys and peaks, that grow us. \u00a0That mature us into those effective servants He desires.<\/p>\n
Today, I was able to join in the congregational singing a bit more than last Sunday so I praise Him for that. \u00a0A little sore this evening but not bad. \u00a0Tomorrow I’ll begin the process over again. \u00a0Another plus has been my horn. \u00a0I’ve just about gained my college range back on my horn. \u00a0Hadn’t seen that in a long time.<\/p>\n
As per doctor’s orders, we are on limiting bookings right now with the whole goal to be the strongest for the summer where the schedule is full and has been set up since last year. \u00a0First engagement coming up is the weekend of February 8-9.<\/p>\n
Thank you for the continued prayers as we take this time to grow!<\/p>\n
