On Sunday, I ministered at the Paterson Museum. Gospel House Authority hosted the Gospel House Cafe. After sound check was complete, I was talking to someone who had driven from upstate New York to enjoy the evening. After talking to him for a few minutes, he points to my display and asked, "Now who is this gentleman?" My managers pointed in my direction and the young man apologized as he blushed. My vision has remained the same but my outside appearance, mainly my hair, had changed.
This young man shared a story upon realizing who I was... "One night I was wide awake and needed to listen to some good music. I was searching the radio when I came across this music I had never heard before. It was Gospel house music. Although I wanted to dance physically my spirit danced instead. Sir, you ministered to my spirit that night." I thanked him and stood in awe of God's grace.
Then he added, "The station I came across was www.wfdu.fm. Last Friday, I turned them on again. I sat listening to the DJ and chatted with him as he was on the air. Then I requested to hear one of your songs and boom, there it was." He heard my interview that night too. I stood in awe amazed at what God can do if you just believe...
After the event, I was walking to my car when a gentleman asked, "Do you have any CDs left?" I did. "Yes, I do." I gave the man a CD explaining that one of the two songs that I ministered, "Blue Rain," was on this CD but the other song was a new single and wasn't released. I added that the other song on the CD, "Lift up Hands," was available on both iTunes and www.traxsource.com He replied, "Oh my God, I didn't know that was you. I am so happy that I have had the opportunity to meet you personally." It was my honor to meet him.
I don't want this post to come off as arrogant. I wanted to share what my heart felt that night. It was full. I entered the museum that night with the goal of touching the hearts of those who danced in praise. My heart, through shared praise and these two specific interactions, was touched. I was inspired and encouraged. I support my vision and received further confirmation from God through the support of strangers, that I was in the right place.
To God be the glory...
