So the recording is done, and wow, the Lord is so faithful. What a great God we serve. Thank you to everyone for their prayers on February 24th when I recorded. I felt the prayers, and the Lord definitely showed up in a huge way. I picked up the final cut of music this past week and when I listened to some of the songs, I was almost brought to tears. The Lord's presence is in these songs, and I truly believe He will use this music to minister to believers and non-believers all over the place.
How good is the Lord? So good that He orchestrated my mom and I getting to meet Steven Curtis Chapman, give him a copy of the cd, and tell him about this project for Shaohannahs Hope. Steven is such a humble man of the Lord, and you can see his humility and love for the Lord in the way he carries himself, interacts with people, and even when he performs. He is not about getting the glory, but about giving all the glory to God. It was such a blessing getting to meet him and I pray that he and his wife would listen to the cd and help uplift this project, so that more people could know about Shaohannahs Hope and money would be raised in order to bring more children into forever families. Please continue to pray.
God continues to lead me, step by step. He has been faithful from the beginning when He birthed this vision in me, and I am confident that His faithfulness will continue. These are some scriptures that have come to mind in the past couple days regarding the Lord and His faithfulness to His children.
Psalm 136:1-"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever."
Psalm 37:23-25-"The steps of a man are established by the Lord, and He delights in his way. When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, for the Lord is the One who holds his hand. I have been young and now I am old yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread."
Psalm 55:9-"For this I know, that God is for me..."
Psalm 34:10-"The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing."
Amen, praise the Lord. He is so good to His children, and He definitely blesses obedience. My prayer as this process continues (mass production, finalizing details of the cd artwork, etc) is that with every cd that is distributed, those that hear it would be blessed and drawn into intimacy with the Father, for awareness to be spread about Shaohannahs Hope and for more believers to pray about adoption and potentially being a forever family to a child, and that the body of Christ would be united to live out James 1:27 and live out true religion and faith in Christ. Join with me in praying for God's glory and fame to be spread. He is so worthy.

So amazing!!!
So...I'll admit that I'm just now becoming truly aware of what you've really been doing and I'm amazed. I mean, I kind of knew but not any details. I visited the website and wow...it's something I will remember once Chris and I finally make the decision if we will adopt or not. You know, it's funny...we just talked about it last night and today "for some reason" I thought I'd go back through my emails to get the link for your blog. Hmmmm. God is good good good.
when are the cd's going to be for sale?? i just found your blog. i loved reading about all the exciting things going on in your life. miss seeing you girl! :)

Hi, Leese! How are you? You're on the downhill slope now!
Hey Lisa - You are too cool! Thank you for sharing this with me, and allowing me the opportunity to get to know you. God Bless you and all you are doing. Angie
This is great Lisa. When and how can Sarah and I get a copy of the cd?
Lisa...how many people are in the Denver airport on any given day...God orchestrated me running into you...I went to Austin Stone that Sunday...first of all let me say your pastor was unbelievably full of God and His Word about Jesus inviting us to breakfast...I won't forget that sermon...and I when I walked in, Chris was leading the worship...we had to double dip and go back in the evening for same sermon same songs...they so brought God to me...thanks for the hook up...you are one precious daughter loved by your amazing King...loved reading your blog...bev brandon
I was just checking to see if there had been any developments and how the project had continued to develop. 2007 was an incredible year in your life and one that will set the course probably for the rest of your life. The spirit of adoption is beginning to grow in our church and I am excited to watch it come to pass. We are still in a patiently resolved mode awaiting the word to get our chinese daughter...never would I have thought it would have taken over 3 years. I continue to be amazed at the divine perfections of God and put my trust in Him.
your servant
