Psalm 100 ~ my absolute favorite verses in the Bible and what I claim as my life verses! As a young girl, I remember memorizing them and how they forever imprinted on my heart to live a life through service, surrender, JOY, and love for my eternal Father, my King. Life is a gift that we get to live. Each breath is a gift that I dedicate to my heavenly Father as I walk closely with Him on this journey of life. He is with me, He inspires me through His Word, He directs my steps through the whispers of the Holy Spirit, and He pours from my soul through the joy and love that He has given me. Praise God for His gift of salvation and that every step I take is one step closer to an eternity with Him! Please enjoy this song that I was inspired to create because of its impact on my heart and throughout my life ~ I hope it is an encouragement to you and brings joy to those that learn, share, or listen!

A Joyful Sound Ministries ~ the name of our family music ministry that began in the early 1980’s and remains alive in my heart to this very day. God called my parents when they were very young to live a life of service to our King, dedicating every moment of their lives, their children, their careers, and their hearts to living His Word and beaming the light of Christ wherever they were called to walk, with whomever God placed on their path. From nursing homes, churches, Cook County Prison, homeless missions…God used our family in a mighty way to show Himself through the music, verses, testimony, and simple conversations He would inspire us to share. Through endless prayer, hours of musical rehearsing, and a lot of fun along the way, God gave us the privilege of sharing His love through ministry. I am forever thankful, inspired, and transformed because of what HE did through us! It was always about HIM and I will forever live my life of service to the King, inspired by this incredible springboard of a magical childhood that God gave me through the surrendered heart of my parents.

From the Feature Films for Families, Rigoletto
Here, you will find the beautiful melody of Let Me In, from Kurt Bestor and Sam Cardon, made into a lovely, intermediate piano solo. The melody is true to their original composition, making it a wonderful accompaniment to a vocal arrangement, if desired. I simply wanted to share this arrangement, as there is not many out in the world! I came up with this arrangement in high school when I first fell in love with the movie/musical, Rigoletto, and have been playing it ever since! (It was my first attempt at arranging!) I finally wrote it down with the intention of giving others the opportunity to play it as well. This song is too beautiful to not be shared and enjoyed! Enjoy!

Everyday, I pray with my children that “we would be a light� everywhere we go, reflecting God’s love and His light of salvation. After talking about what this means with them, I decided to write a song about exactly what this Light is and how we can find it, see it, then BE that to this world.

As we walk this earth, we are all searching for our purpose and something to believe in. I hope you’ll turn your eyes upward, listen to the lyrics of this song to help guide you, then find your compass and direction as you face the Light. Jesus died on the cross for us…He wants us to spend eternity with Him, enjoy the blessings of life, and find joy! Because we live in a broken world, there will be heartache…but if we walk with Him, we can find security, purpose, and companionship like we’ve never known.

Enjoy searching for the light as you take this musical journey of what it feels like to me!

Aubrey writes beautiful poetry, and after many conversations about composing original music, she was inspired to give me one of her poems for me to set music to! We are both very excited about this beautiful, new song! We hope you enjoy it along with us!

I recently met a dear friend of mine for coffee and hot chocolate. We hadn't seen each other in a long time, so it was wonderful to catch up on life and share our journey of teaching, raising a family, the valleys and mountains of life, and everything in between. I shared with him about my love for composing and writing original music that will encourage and bring light into the world. So, I asked him, if he could write a song to encourage his students, what would the song be about? Compass came from the words that he shared with me that day. I hope it brings light and love to you as you listen!

Feeling discouraged, experiencing pain or grief, longing for peace, joy, and love in this crazy journey of life...I don't claim to have all of the answers, but I know the One who does. He may not directly answer when you pray, however, I can promise you that He will never leave your side and will walk with you through whatever you are going through.

As a musician, I have always been entranced with how melodies and harmonies, instruments of varying timbres, and beautiful orchestrations create frequencies that combine to make incredible symphonies and compositions. Life is the same...God gives us love, joy, grief, and pain to create a brilliant symphony of our life. Without all the colors we wouldn't understand the overall beauty and purpose. We must trust our composer through it all, knowing that He means every line intentionally for our good and the entire picture that will be beautiful in the end.

I have the privilege of directing high school, junior high, and elementary choir, as well as junior high handbells in a fantastic Christian school. As in many private schools, we adhere to a high expectation of both faculty and students, as we all work together to serve Christ in all that we do. It has become a home away from home for me, and I will forever be grateful for this institution that God has placed in my life, as a teacher today, as well as throughout my childhood, as I was a student here from preschool to high school graduation.

When I was a student, and especially today from a teacher's perspective, I've witnessed that students seem to get frustrated with the rules when it comes to the dress code. The students are required to order uniforms from the Land's End catalogue, with polos and dress shirts in colors of green, yellow, or blue, along with the appropriate pants or skirts of white, black, or blue khaki. Modesty and professionalism is the standard as we seek to glorify God, even in the dress we choose. 

It's easy to get frustrated with rules anywhere you go. However, the goal of having rules is to put in place a line that we can all meet at according to the type of experience we are engaging in, or institution we are part of. This song encourages our students, or anyone frustrated with rules in any institution, to look past the rules themselves and focus on why you are here, and the overall purpose of what you are doing with others that are trying to do the same.

Hopefully, this song will encourage you in your journey!
