Some Things Never Change...

I was looking through some old pictures and was impressed that
some things about us never change

Physical features, body type, hair color and even
eye color can change (it's true!)

But the essence of WHO we are...
The core of our BEING doesn't change.
It's who we were CREATED to be that I'm talking about here.

For Example...

I have been singing for as long as I can remember
It's part of who I am...part of what makes me, ME

THEN...............................................















And...





NOW!!













I have a PASSION for music...for singing...
always have...always will!

And that's only one side of the multi-faceted person
God created to be me.


We all have passions that are the core of our very being

Sadly, we have been "socialized" into silence, inaction and stagnation.

"They" give us their notion of who we should be...
what we should do...what our income should be...
how we should live...

Then put us in a box

And there we stay...

Enslaved by the desires they fed us

Chained by their approval


And if we try to break free...

We're told

SIT DOWN...

BE QUIET...

DON'T MAKE WAVES...

YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT ANYWAY...

FIT IN...

JUST GIVE IT UP

and

BE "NORMAL"!!



So we might settle for a mediocre life

even what they call "successful"

but only for a season

Because there's that SOMETHING in the middle of us that we've always wanted to do...

That we NEED to do...

That something that we know we were BORN for!

What's yours?

You KNOW it's there...it's always been there

Think about yourself at 15...you knew then

It STILL SPEAKS to you

Just get quiet and LISTEN to your HEART

Then join us who've BROKEN FREE

We're waiting to CELEBRATE YOU!!
