Hey friends!
December 26th, 2009
Thanks for coming back to visit. Don’t forget, I tweet now! You can follow me, if you feel so inclined to stalk! @shanstweets.
I am looking forward to a great year, filled with some pretty cool stuff! There’s a benefit concert coming up in January for Live2free (Live2free.org), and human Trafficking Awareness day is coming up on January 11th! I’m so excited to be partnering with some pretty awesome bands who are going to be playing at these events!!! More details to follow!
I can’t hardly believe Christmas has come and gone! I’ve just moved into a new place which I LOVE! However, the Christmas tree lights never resurfaced after the move, so we had a light-less tree, but it was decked out nonetheless! We took a beautiful walk down to the beach, in our sunny 80 degree weather! Did you hear that 2/3 of the USA got snow for Christmas! Holy Cow!! That’s crazy! So, I was super grateful for our sun-shiny day! I am a California girl for sure!
I’ve received lots of requests for a copy of my old CD……so, as requested, I just placed an order for some more. If you want to get your hand on one, just let me know! I can set one aside for you when they come in! And, the next CD of course is in the works!
The newest song on the list for the CD, I will be borrowing a quote from John G Paton, a pioneer missionary to New Hebrides (today’s Vanuatu). He had lost his wife and child, and was surrounded by hostile natives hiding in a tree. I was so humbled when I read his words
“The hours I spent there live all before me as if it were but of yesteday. I heard the frequent discharge of muskets, and the yells of the Savages. Yet I sat there among the branches, as safe in the arms of Jesus. Never in all my sorrows did my Lord draw nearer to me, and speak more soothingly in my soul……..Alone, yet not alone! If it be to glorify my God, I will not grudge to spend many nights alone in such a tree, to feel again the Saviour’s spiritual presence, to enjoy His consoling fellowhsip. If thus thrown back upon your soul, alone, all alone, in the midnight, in the bush, in the very embrace of death itself, have you a Friend that will not fail you then?”
Needless to say I was indescribably inspired, and I can’t wait for this song to be completeled and recorded! I can’t wait to share it with you!
Loves to you all, and Happy New Year!
