It's hard to believe I have been singing with Billy Davis, Jr. & Marilyn McCoo's music and testimony outreach ministry for 12 years! God answered prayer when I asked Him that many years ago to provide me with an opportunity that would work with my busy schedule as a wife, mother, and career professional. And what a journey it has been working with two of the most genuine, kind and committed Christians I know - who I now proudly call my friends! I love singing with them and this talented group of musicians and vocalists every month. Check my calendar for locations and times.

At Praisefest 2023, we came together to tell our stories and give God the glory! You learned about my discoveries and rewards for obedience to God's calling, Deborah's journey from humble beginnings to corporate C-suite and best-selling author, Angela's triumph over unimaginable personal loss and grief, Cydney's understanding of her role as a Christian in the entertainment industry, Marilyn, Brenda, and Jeanette's lessons learned about fame, faith, family, and worship, and how Babbie's time-honored gifts continue creating new opportunities for her to share the gospel. 
             Our Stories, His Glory! is available for
         your church, women's group or special event.

A THOUGHT FOR ANY DAY...​ READ PSALM 37:23
Allow the path laid before you to manifest your creative gifts, inspire others and promote change ​
Picture

​I've been thinking about pathways a lot lately. My newfound love for photography has helped me capture many variations of what paths can look like and reminded me that our individual paths are just as diverse. I had the great fortune of traveling to Europe before the pandemic and, while I marveled at the iconic landmarks we all know, I was fascinated with the spectacular array of paths and walkways I encountered. The beautiful variety brought to mind the different paths we have all taken - unique paths that tell our stories and that fuel our songs, books and speeches.

With all that's going on around us as a result of a global pandemic, the senseless killing of Black people while in police custody, mass murders and the resulting protests, there has been an awakening like never before. Where do you fit in? What is your path in this uncharted territory? How will you contribute to a path forward with your gifts and callings?

I know we are all praying for God's wisdom and protection as we experience the dramatic events of each day. Stay safe and stay well. Seek the Lord about what you can do and then...do it! Trust that your footsteps are ordered by the Lord and stay on the path He has laid out for you.
