An amazing week!

 This week, I took a huge step with my music writing. And I didn't even write any music. I had this realization on Wednesday that, hey, I have a website and a Facebook page, but what really is the point of doing anything with them if I'm getting no to minimal traffic each week? So I put myself out there.

 I shared a post about what I'm doing in a post on my Facebook page, and then shared it in a Facebook handbell group that I'm in, as well as a group of amazing people put together by Jon Acuff in his Start experiment.

 And then amazing hit.

 THIRTY-TWO visitors to my website on Wednesday alone.

 On Wednesday morning, I had 55 likes of my Facebook page. By the end of Wednesday, I was up to 84 likes.

But it didn't stop there.

I had a few more visitors to my website yesterday, and 9 more likes on Facebook.

So, this morning, I started with 93 likes on Facebook. So, I put it out there to get to 100. Yeah, I'm now at 108.

In all of this, I am humbled. I am honored. I am surprised.

But wait.....there's more. In all of this putting myself out there, I had a girl I went to high school with ask me about organ arrangements of contemporary music. And the brain started spinning. There's a few published by one publisher, but they're pretty much the greatest hits of the 80's and early 90's. Maybe there's a market for this....so I started thinking through some ideas. I love organ music and I love contemporary music. I know I'm very, very, very odd in this regard. So, maybe that's an opportunity!

Finally, this morning, I had coffee with an awesome friend, Matt Adler (download his new EP "The Sound". It's amazing), and we had a great chat. He was so encouraging to me, and is a totally awesome friend, and I appreciate him.

So where does all of this go? I have no clue. I keep putting myself out there, ask for input, ask for responses, and write, write, write. Where it goes, only God knows and only God will lead. I'm just amazed by the journey.
