Prophetic Vocal Coach and ONLINE Mentor for Worship Leaders and their teams.

Fifteen years ago, I felt like life was 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙮. In my mind, it was too late for me to achieve my dreams. 
​

When I was a kid, they discovered that I had a natural talent for singing. But then nothing. In high school, I got to choose choir as my elective. ​​I had a teacher that spoke: “I was 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝.” It was my first experience of someone crushing my love for music. ​

My parents told me that I 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨. That I needed to choose a better career. ​That is when I made the decision 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 “𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙛𝙪𝙣”. As a 𝒉𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒚.​

College hit and I had an amazing instructor that encouraged and pushed my talent.​I got accepted into a nationally recognized choir. Sang at Carnegie Hall. Had many roles in different musicals. ​

 

​My dream for music came alive again. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚.​ I was born again ​in my 20s and got the privilege to sing on my church’s worship team.​ The fulfillment to sing for God with your talent is amazing and u̲n̲-̲e̲x̲p̲l̲a̲i̲n̲a̲b̲l̲e̲.​ I decided right then and there… 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚. ​ But after four years on the team… I started to hear the same painful words. The pain resurfaced and my 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙, 𝙮𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣. ​

 


I was 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝. Not “chosen” to be invested in. I had to 𝙨𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 for what others said, “I could do”. ​ My hope now fizzled.​Being on music teams can be tough and downright mean. It took me eight years to heal and then realize… those teams are not where I am supposed to be. ​God was protecting me. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚, even if I did have the talent to do it.​

 

Then 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝! And I realized that music was once again pushed to second place. It seems that life had passed me by, and it was too late. Hope deferred as I waited on the Lord to show me the way. My heart was sick.​

 


But 𝙂𝙤𝙙’𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩! He knew where I belong and when I was supposed to use my talent. A longing fulfilled is the tree of life!​

My parents bought me my guitar when I was in 7th grade. It took me 26 years later to finally learn to play, sing, write songs and use my talents the way God created them! ​
