Recording this debut cd, Heavenly Love, was an answer to prayer as for years I sang backing vocals on gospel albumns for other artists and longed to record my own. The Lord put the desire on my heart to do this, and provided the way, but it was still a huge challenge for me as, being quite a shy person, I preferred being in the background.

I was, however, guided by His word where, in Galations 6:4-5 I learned to make a careful exploration of who I am and the work I have been given, and then to sink myself into that; to experience joy in what I do and not to compare myself with others. Each of us must take responsibility for doing the creative best that we can with our own lives.

It is our vision to visit churches,with our hearts really set on teaching praise and worship where people have not experienced His presence through music, bringing them to a place of deep worship and helping them to draw closer to the Lord.

Thanks must go to my husband Tienie, who produced the cd and played some great guitar solos, and to my daughters Joni and Megan for their love and patience.Thanks also to everyone else involved in this cd, no matter how small the contribution, I could not have done this without the love and guidance I received from you and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
