Voices of Praise


I'm going to be updating my blog probably this weekend, but until then, I decided to blog something quick. I recently got over my cold, so I have enjoyed singing again, and didn't realize how much I'd missed it until Julie came to visit last weekend for my birthday, and we sang "Thy Face I Seek, O Lord" in church. It was so fun to be able to sing into the night the night before, and then to be able to sing in church together. It's been so long! Anyways, it made me think of all the fun we used to have singing with "The Voices of Praise" (a.k.a. VOP). It's so fun to look back on all the times we shared together from our all night singing slumber parties, and summertime picnics and singing in the band shelter at the park, to all the awesome opportunities the Lord gave us to minister together at different schools, churches, on tv, and then one year, we even got to make a cd! Even though it's not the greatest cd ever, it's fun to listen to, and remember the fun we had making it! And the opportunities it has provided are more than I thought would be. It's been awesome to see how the Lord has used it. I hope that someday we girls can get together and do it again - and girls, we still need to go to the ocean ;) Jenn, you weren't supposed to get married till we went on our VOP road trip! Oh well, Jordan will just have to know he's going to have to let you go for awhile when it works out ;) hee,hee! I'm glad I get to see Jenn and Laura every day still, but I miss you other 3 SO much! You girls just will have to come up and visit sometime, k? :)
I LOVE YOU, GIRLS! :)
"The Lord is my strength, and my shield;
my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth,
and with my song will I praise Him."
~Psalm 28:7
