It would be so easy to compromise myself—all in the name of ministry advancement. I want my songs played both on Internet and Terrestrial Radio, but I am not willing to make wrong moves to accomplish that. I truly believe that God makes a path for me.
I could insert myself where I want. I could do any number of things to seek to oblige or compel others to put me in places that would provide added exposure. The truth and the fact of the matter is—I don’t want anything for myself that God does not want for me. That often means simply being okay with the fact that responses will not always be favorable. When they are not, I am not broken up about it. This is where peace comes in - Trusting God to make the moves for me.
I have assurance that seeming setbacks, slow pace, rejection, unexplained cancellations, airplay, no play, ministry events that touch a heart, change a life, favor, are all controlled by my heavenly Father who is my beginning, my ending—the sole author of my story.

I want to share God’s heart, His nature/character, His amazing love - in all I do and say. That means my life, not just a ministry event where I have a chance to sing and showcase my gift, but my entire life must always be a reflection of Him.
He is the author of your story too. Hang tight! He’s working it out for you. Have peace in the midst of that process, because only then can you offer real ministry from an unpolluted stream. Trust God!
