Having a Baby

 

Did I get your attention? :)


I recently received a letter from some college friend’s with the announcement of their new baby girl. In their letter they had pictures of the baby and some funny jokes about how the labor went down. And actually a few months ago after not having seen them since we were in school I was able to visit with them. She was glowing.She was adorable and they were so excited, it was all they could talk about. What would they call her? Who would she look like? What would she become?

The other day something dawned on me as I read that letter. It will be 9 years this fall that I moved to Nashville setting my sites on this crazy industry. Just about a month after I moved there I wrote the song "You Define Me" (name of album). I was so excited I could hardly stand it. And the first person I called was my mom (she is my biggest fan) Anyway, I sang it to her over the phone. She listened to me ramble on and on as about how I felt it was a conception of something...…I could feel it. It was the birth of a dream only I wasn’t ready, it had to grow ...I had to grow. I would have to wait 9 years, nine lonnnng years for the arrival. And really sometimes I still don’t feel ready for it. What will I do wants it get’s here? How will I make sure that everything goes smoothly? What if there is something wrong with it? What will become of it? After nine years of waiting I feel like I am having a baby. Ha! Are you laughing?

Friends, I have no idea what this album is going to do. Only sell a hand full or thousands. I don’t know that part is up to God. I am certain and more confident than ever that he is working out all the details. I am just really grateful to finally after all this time get this baby out of me. Mamma’s .....you know what I mean ~ right? : )
