Deliverance

I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am for this group of people, each and every one of them.

Being able to share the gift of music with this bunch of talented and fantastic people to bring glory to God’s name is heartwarming. I have never – in the early years my life – ever expected that this would be my future. Yes, I’ve loved music since I was young and have dreamt of many things but this is something I never thought I’d be doing.

And this is only possible because of someone who decided to shower His love and blessings upon us – Jesus Christ.

I would have never gotten this far, with these songs, these music compositions, this everything without Him there for me, guiding me each step of the way. What word to fit into which sentence and what melody to fit into which part of the song.

He has been working so greatly in my life and I can honestly say that without Him, I am nothing. I tried writing a song once, without first seeking God and relying on my human self and I failed.

I sat there holding the guitar, playing tunes, humming melodies, reciting words but none of them seemed to fit. And that was when I knew that I could not do anything without Him there with me.

He has given me the joy of being part of His divine plan for future generations to come and I am so glad I am sharing this with Deliverance. It would have been different, if it weren’t this group of people. It would have ended right at the beginning if it weren’t with this group of people.

God has placed each individual in my life to give me a new sense of belonging, a new sense of hope, desire, passion and strength. I know that this is His way to telling me He’s taking care of me and is watching over me.

And I would not trade them for anything in this world, not one.

Because Kenny makes me laugh even though (especially when!) he’s not trying to be funny. Best lets me poke fun at him and dart at his nipples as and when I like (who else would?!). Spanks is always the gentleman who does gentlemanly things. And Timmy burps in my face like nobody’s business.

We are not here just to make music together but we’ve bonded so well and we’ve gone through different stages in life together and now we are ready to conquer whatever the Lord tells us to.

Last but certainly not least, (most important in fact) is that God is here with us. And He is the leader of this entire body.

“For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.”
