Recent Compositions

Hi Friends,

Back in September, I had the privilege of writing some string arrangements for a friend's upcoming album.  Joshua Reuben is a very talented Classical and Flamenco guitar player.  His EP just became available online, and can be purchased at:

A full preview of one of my arrangements can be heard on YouTube:

Congratulations to Joshua on the release of his new album!

Moving Forward Into The Future

Dear Friends,

This blog has become stale once again.  I have been using Facebook more recently to drop little snippets of news, as I simply don't have the time to spend writing as I once did.  I am in a new and exciting season in life: embarking on a new journey of full-time ministry, travelling, and the most important news of all -- meeting the man that God has ordained to be my husband and partner in life and serving Him.  The threads of the tapestry of my life have all come together for such a time as this -- and I am overwhelmed with God's goodness (and sometimes overwhelmed with the amount of change that is about to take place!)

I wish I had time to share the details of my recent adventures in this venue, but I simply have too much to focus on for the next few months -- the CD is reaching the final stages of recording and onto mixing, I have to plan concerts and promotional material, and on top of it I am now planning a wedding and a cross-country move.  Can you say "hectic"?  But, in God, all things are possible...as we take it second by second, minute by minute, day by day.  :)  So, if you see that this blog has fewer posts in the next few months, you at least now know the reason!

In the coming months, my future husband and I will be launching a website for our ministry -- at which point I will resume more regular writing of updates, meditations, and thoughts. Within that website will be included the testimony of how Dan and I met, and how the Lord called us to be together.  Until then, I encourage you to keep up with updates on my Facebook page.  I look forward to resuming my writing when things have slowed down, even slightly ;-)

Shalom and love,
Melissa
