Wow!! What a day!
So the day started out really early on May 17th. I had to vocalize and get ready for a long day of singing and praising the Lord! Now, for those of you who know me…I’m not a morning person. BUT, I think God gave me that extra personality boost that I needed for the early morning as we went over to the 1st Congregational Church to set up for the Walkathon, “Walking with Hope”, presented by Giving Children Hope. Such a great organization. It’s a faith based foundation that helps children all around the globe.
This event raised about $15, 000 to help feed homeless children in the Orange County (CA) area!!!
Not only was I excited to perform with such other great talent such as K. Wylin, Matt Marcy, Squeeky Wheel, David Daniels, Packy, Team Velocity and Caine Sinclair…I was also very inspired by the act of kindness that Giving Children Hope does, that I decided to write a “theme” song for the event, aptly called, “Walking with Hope”. I am looking forward to next year and hope to keep building that dollar amount higher and higher!
Also, later that night, I was invited back to perform at the Unurban Cafe in Santa Monica by the Java with Javelyn! I encourage all my indie artist friends to hook up with Javelyn for the chance to perform at her venues! She’s a great booker and also a fantastic singer/songwriter!
I feel so blessed to be able to be so busy this month with performances. To not allow my disability to own me, but to live my life despite my struggles and to praise God for His strength and grace as He sees me through it all!
Ok…I have to go and prep for this Friday’s performance at the Spirit West Coast Festival! I’ll be singing 2 songs, “Beautifully Broken” and “Lost” at the Rally’s for Christ stage and hopefully on the mainstage this Sunday!
In His Grip…Always,
Andrea
