I decided it was easier to put the link to the music on my blog. Maybe it is time for me to start back writing? Momma Footprints
Hey Everyone!
My venture into writing music was completely God’s doing. Let me explain…
One Sunday after church, as Buddy was driving us home, the words “Mama’s Footprints” kept circling through my mind. I even mentioned it to Buddy. He just smiled, as he usually does, and never said a word—as if to say, “Okay, psycho.” 😊
The moment we got home, I grabbed one of my notebooks and began writing. Sentence after sentence poured onto the pages as fast as I could write them. When I finally finished, I looked up and asked, “Now what, God?”
Little by little, He showed me what to do.
The words were meant for a dear friend who is raising three children. The challenge was turning what I had written into a song instead of a poem. I had no idea what a chorus, bridge, outro, or any of those musical parts were. It was definitely a learning experience!
When I finished, I texted the song to my friend.
What I didn’t know was that she had just experienced one of the hardest days of her life. God knew, though. Through that song, He reminded her that He loved her, saw her, and was walking beside her. She sobbed as she read it.
Now she, her daughters, and their praise band are planning to add the song to their repertoire as they travel and minister in churches throughout our area.
Just to clarify, her difficult day wasn’t because someone had died. It was simply one of those overwhelming days that life sometimes brings.
I thought I’d share the song here for you to hear. It may be a little while before it’s recorded because they’re still working out the melody, harmonies, and arrangement. But another song will be coming soon!
Now… it’s back to writing Austin…
Unless God interrupts me again. ❤️
God Bless You! Joni
