Every night, I’d come home at 6pm, wishing I had someone to pick me up, not because I wanted to ride in a car but because I wanted to play guitar in the Jazz Band. They practiced after school, but the buses stopped running after 5pm. I was so sad. 🐶😁

Years later, I saw a group of students playing music in a room at LBCC, I was studying across the hall wondering if I should go in. One day, I finally did, they sounded amazing, about 100 kids were in the room singing songs to Jesus.

I saw the young man playing the guitar in front of them and all those people singing and I knew that was for me. After the meeting I went up to the song leader and told him – ahm, you’re not very good, maybe I can help (I’ve never been shy about my skills!). In a few weeks I was leading the group and the room doubled in size.

The next year I moved to CSULB and started a Bible study and the room tripled in size, we had 200-300 kids every Tuesday night singing songs to Jesus. One day, the leader of a local church heard me sing and said – can you help us? We need someone to lead us. I said, sure. 😍

I had no idea she actually wanted to pay me, $1000/month felt like a million dollars back then. In a few years, the room tripled in size. God was moving in ways I could never imagine, the whole church caught on fire. It was as if God showed up every time I opened my mouth, I never felt so free. And all those lonely nights next to my gramma finally made sense to me.

God was shaping me into the young man I was meant to be, hanging on to him when I could have easily lost my way. Every day I play, speak or sing, I think of my grandma’s love for me, the sacrifice of my parents and the fire inside that burns bright more and more each day.

Do you feel alone at night?

No matter what you cry about every day, God is with you in your room, perhaps the sacrifice is high, you don’t know if you’ll make it through. God is with you in your room.

What is the music in your heart that is calling you forward? Who are the people across the hall that need your help? Walk in today, stop focusing on your tears and all you’ve lost.

Walk in to that room that is waiting for your gifts and pain, your loss and longings, your hurts and greatness. Because the minute you walk into the room, you will hear the voice of God calling you forward, urging you on.

He is in the room, all you need to do is walk in.👩‍👩‍👧‍👧
