30 years ago I first heard this song "Mary's Little Lamb" on a southern gospel tape by a local Ohio musician Debbie Meyers. My Aunt Lori played the drums for her group and also played the drums on the album.

For a 3 year old to hear her aunt on a real album blew my mind and I dreamed to be a musician one day. So I would sit at my little play piano or play drum set and play along with Debbie's album.

The song "Mary's Little Lamb" was and obviously still is one of my favorites to listen to and now play.

To be able to record my own version of this beautiful song is coming full circle in my life at 33 years old. And I can say that I have accomplished a dream. I have been playng drums professionally for 20 years and playing piano for 13 years for Jesus and I give him all the Glory for my talent and I just want to continue to share the love of Jesus through my music.

I hope this song blesses you as much as It does me.

Warning! Grab You A Box of Tissues: Letter I Received From A Homeless Child

If this doesn't break your heart, then you do not have one.

Below is a picture of the letter a 11 yr old homeless girl wrote to me.  She lives in one of the homeless shelters I donate my Smitten Mitten Expedition items to every year.  This little girl saw one of the employees at the shelter wearing a earwarmer headband, twisty scarf and handwarmers that I had made for the employee.  And asked if I would make her a set.  So the little girl sat down and wrote me this letter, and I made her the head band in the picture you see below and I made her a set of matching handwarmers because I didn't have enough of that color yarn to make a twisty scarf.  The little girl received her gift last week and they fit her perfectly and she is so happy.  And this is why I do what I do, if I can bring a smile even to just one homeless child then all the hours of crocheting these hats, scarves, hand warmers and ear warmer headbands are worth it. 

Even as sick as I am and not able to go many places or do many things as I use to, to help people in need. God is still using me and although it may be just a small child's headband, it is more precious than silver or gold because it brought a smile to the face of a homeless child.

JMC Vlog Episode 42 Remission, Seperation, Healing

It's been 7 long months since my last vlog and a lot of changes have
happened in my life some good and some sad. But its my life and I'm
living it the best I can and enjoy every good day to its fullest.

It's a New Year And I'm Ready

On my way home tonight from counseling with my husband Jeremy, I heard this song "Lord I'm Ready Now" by the Christian Artist Plumb and realized this is my song and my testimony for 2015.  And that I want to dedicate this song to my husband Jeremy and to my Jesus because it truly speaks what I can't put into words of what I want to say about everything that has happened in my past and I'm ready to heal from the past and move forward being the real me and not who I thought I was or needed to be.

I'm not afraid of who I am, I accept who I am and all my short coming and limitations.  But I am striving to move forward and be the best me I can be so that I can have a health marriage, and healthy relationships with my friends and loved ones.

I don't have to make a new years resolution because I'm already doing it and accomplishing it in leaps and bounds. I thank God for my counselor, I thank God for loving family and friends who have supported me through all I have been through in my life and stood by me as we have struggled through this darkness of "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" and I'm so thankful for all the support as I continue to battle Crohn's Disease and surviving the bad days it throws my way and enjoying and cherishing every good day I am blessed with.

I'm ready to live my life, not just survive it in 2015......Lord, I'm Ready NOW!!!
