music and meditation

Dear friends and family. I have very exciting news. DNA, a music group from King's Kids Puerto Rico is here visiting. They are amazing. They write their own song and sing and dance to them. It's been exciting to have them here. DNA stands for Discipling Nations through the Arts, so they sing songs about love and life that aren't necessary "Christian," but are communicating Christian principles. They are doing presentations at churches right now, but their big concert is on the 31st. And I will, possibly, get to play two songs with them on piano. I'm way excited. Here's their music video of one of their songs:


Thank you, New Hope, for the piano. It is so amazing to have a good piano to lead worship from, for my personal time with God. What an incredible blessing.

Besides all of this excitement, the missionary life continues. I have very full days, I'm realizing, and it's brought me to start considering where I want to be most involved in the future. It's always a good question to ask: is what I'm doing now leading me to where I want to go? These are just ponderings that are rolling around in my head. But a major prayer request for me and the ministries in Medellin is direction. We are going through a time of defining our visions and refocusing, and while there are so many good things one could be doing, we really want to be doing what God is specifically calling us to. I pray the same for you, that you find God's specific calling for you in this phase of life.

Music has been a strength for you, something that makes you come alive. Part of choosing the DTS there was that they had described it as a worship focus. You have dreamed of playing with some kind of group. I am so glad for the affirmation and confirmation of this part of your life. It is important that you play!
