Testimony Through Song

So, you know I love to sing, right?

Well today I am extra excited about it.

You see, a couple of weeks ago I had a feeling that the musical guest - who was scheduled to come in today to play for the residents at Edgewood - was going to cancel. And I began to wonder how I was going to fill that slot on such short notice.
Then something in me got a little hopeful that the cancellation would become a reality because...
I decided I would like to sing for them!
And, sure enough, I got the message. "Karen, MM called. Cancelling for 9/21. Will contact you about October dates."
I told my boss about my idea to sing, and she told me to go for it. So I have gathered together seven of my favorite Kathy Troccoli tracks - which pretty much tell my faith story - and I'm going to be singing and testifying to the residents at Edgewood this afternoon.

Praying that God will be glorified, and that He will speak (sing?) through me.
