Take Me Back!

Amazed, Overwhelmed, Humbled, Blessed, Encouraged, Stunned, Embraced, Challenged, Rejuvenated, and Reminded. That is a good start to describe my experience of this past weekend. WoW! It is hard for me to take all that in. I won’t go into the details but just know that me being apart of this charter co-write-a-thon weekend was a total God Thing! I only knew a few people prior to this past weekend; however I look back and realize that it felt like I had known all of you for years! The co-writes were awesome! I miss it! I miss hearing the laughing, the hall chats, watching Joel try and use the letters I, I, I, I, U and L in scrabble. I miss hearing Allie’s voice and the beautiful modern hymn. I miss hearing Lee sing… I miss watching Melissa’s eyes the moment something clicked during our co-write with Ed. I miss Nick playing a really nice guitar lick while Tricia rocked her head from side to side, singing in her mind. I miss the chat with Sue and Lee during our co-write and then laughing with Lee as Sue later read a verse and asked us if it was “ok”, and all we could do is look at each other and just drop our jaws! I miss Ericka being herself and her drive/passion to write at 11pm! I miss the time around the circle, the late night 2am talks with Tery and the Song Writers Prayer. I miss that awesome white cake and the heath-bar cookies! You know I could go on and on and on..…..

Joel – Thank you for the dream and all you did to pull this past weekend together! It did make a difference and it means more to me that you’ll ever realize.
