Christian Songwriter's Network

Just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be on CSN much this month (December).

Things have been incredibly busy: with home (Bill has been having some major health concerns, and I have been working more hours as financial stuff has been bombarded upon us). Also, I have been blessed with many opportunities in the ministry, and I need to polish up some stuff, and get things worked out and organized. ... And, I have been trying to finish up some of these songs that have been sitting around, realizing they are never going to be done "pro" anyway, and I think I have just been staying in the same musical sore spot.... When this all started, my only goal was to share the songs that I have been allowed to pen, and I think in my quest to "make em sound better", they are not being shared. I have been stripped of all my pride in this, posting them on the internet unfinished. But I do just need to clean them up a bit, and make some copies to share, so I have been busy with that.

and
I have been fighting some demons. The other day I met true evil. It took my breath away.
Someone who does not know what I am speaking of would think I am crazy, but I would like to think that fellow Christians may understand.
I cant help but think that if I just stopped all this music I would not have so many awful things happening right now. really awful stuff is happening. i cant speak of it.

I will always sing and praise HIM, but I must confess I don't know if I am up for any more challenges, so i might just continue to do this singing privately.

I really do not know what I am supposed to do, so I am just going one day at a time, all we have anyway......
I want to thank everyone for their friendship and support. I will always pray for CSN and my friends here.
I love you all
Blessings

Hey Ang,

I will miss you. You have been a great encouragement to me. I totally understand about going back and reworking the songs that have been posted. I have stepped back a bit from CSN also because I too have been busy refining my songs as well as taking care of the needs of my family. I don't know what you mean by terrible things happening to you because of your songwriting maybe. I will be praying for you in all of this. Sounds like you have been going through a lot of ups and downs lately. You will be on my heart friend. Lara~

Angela,

Thanks for letting us know -- we will miss you!!! I'm sorry you're going through tough times; we'll be praying for you. I hope you come back soon!

Blessings,
James

Father, I lift up the Ang's music ministry to You. I lift it up to You for protection. Protect her and her ministry - her family - her job - her home - her life - her ministry - by the power of Jesus blood. Surround her in Your name and in the power of Jesus blood - above, below, on all sides. Give her peace right now in Your protection. I pray this in Jesus name and to His glory - only His glory - always His glory - amen.

Ang I have been wanting to find a way and place to say this. I thought about a post in your SoundClick spot but I felt not right. What I am wanting to say that I greatly admire your true servant heart. I have seen in word and song your desire to up lift the Lord Jesus Christ and I am humbled. In all I see you doing it is self-sacrifice for His service. I could wish that I had such a loving heart for the Lord. This is not just sentement. I do mean this. I have noticed for quite some time as I have come on CSN your love for the Lord. I pray that He would bless you according to your hearts desire as I have faith that He will. God bless you! Phil
