Hi Lara, I have a GREAT suggestion for ya. Check out CCMNI's Christian Songwriter's Competition. Submit 3 of your songs in a quarter for their critique and they will send you a link to download a FREE copy of their Christian Songwriter Development Program. The critiques are done by great songwriters in the Christiam Music business-so your critiques are very valuable. The cost is $35 per song to submit. The link to all the contest information on their website is: http://christiansongwriting.com. I submitted 3 of my songs the first quarter of this year. I received the free development program and in the midst of it right now, and loving it! I am learning soooooooooooooo much! This course would definately help with your rewrites.

In addition, you may submit your songs here on CSN for these wonderful people to critique. The folks on this website are very kind, but honest. That is the way I like it.

God bless,...

Cracked pots or ordinary jeans--it doesn't matter--We can sing to Our KING!!!!
Sing in private. Sing on the hill. "Who will sing for me?" We said, "i will".....
Success is in touching a heart for Jesus...and compelling them from afar.
But most people come here wanting to be the star.
Yet I imagine--In Jesus' eyes...you... already.. are.
Keep shining Angel.
I love you so!!!

Very good Ang. Thanks for posting this. It is so true about how God uses us in ordinary ways. I was driving home tonight thinking why can't I just be home with my kids and be available to minister in my own church. Why do I have to work at Macaroni Grill of all places. But I realized that God was using me there in the "ordinary." My ministry was in the church. God's ministry might be in the world. Go figure lol. When I got home our kids were still awake. So I tucked them in and while I was doing that they asked me what I did while I worked. So I had the chance to tell them some of the stories of the people I met and sang to. They asked me to sing the songs to them. It was fun to share that side of myself to them. So I am glad for the reminder driving home and also reading your blog that God is working through us. In many ways we cannot see. We need to die to ourselves and be lead by God to do His work. What a lesson eh Ang? = ) Hope you are doing well in Florida....

Hey Kevin
Thanks for this..........

Dear Mlshiira
I am so glad you finally took this step. I have been rooting you on, even though i may not always have said as much. The important thing is that you are finally sharing your songs. Do they have to reach a million gazillion people?
I always pray "just one" and i encourage you to do the same. Lord, let one song touch one soul. If one is saved all of heaven rejoices. now wouldn't you like to know there is a party going on!!!!
continue on, one step at a time!
Many blessings to you in your ministry!
your sister in Christ Jesus
