I realize I’m a day behind, but in this case, I’m so glad I got to wait to write this!

with Paul
Carnegie Hall
December 2019

First of all, my younger self always dreamed of being able to work with actors. Granted, at the time, the actors with whom I was enamored were old-time actors and actresses (most of whom had passed on even as I was growing up). But I dreamed of being friends with actors and somehow working with them. And now, I am!

But my younger self would also appreciate the fact that I am kinder and gentler to myself. While I still stumble and fall back into my old ways on occasion (when I take my eyes off the Lord), my past does not control who I am today. While on occasion, I let old patterns of thinking into my brain, making the break with them so much faster. I am in control by the grace of God, and I refuse to let them rule my mind and body.

My younger self would rejoice that I’m a writer and singer. My younger self would be amazed to think that I have incredible organizational skills and that I learn things quickly (most of the time). And that I conquer adversity! My walk with the Lord is much more substantial than it ever was before. I am eternally grateful for all the transformation that has occurred this year!
