Gettin' back in balance!

I feel SOOOOOOOOOO much better!!! I finally feel back to normal. The turnaround started Tuesday. It's been a really long time since I've been that sick. It gave me an appreciation for my health!

My life had been out of balance for a while. For the past several weeks I've been in the studio working on our new praise team CD. For a couple of those weeks I was there two nights a week. When you throw in Wednesday night church service, that means I was gone three nights a week. Since I work outside the home that means on the studio nights I was gone from home 7:30am to 11pm each of those days. On church night I'd get home about 7:30 or 8p, so not quite as bad, but it still made for a very long day.

The exciting thing is, if the recording sounds as good on CD as it does in the studio, then I'll be very pleased! It's a "live" recording. Most churches, when they do live recordings, go into the studio afterward and "touch" up everything. Alot of the churches will take their vocalists in and redo all of the vocals, as well as touching up any instrumental errors. Believe me, if we had the money, I'd do that too! But we don't, so what we have is the actual live recording...raw. And I'm amazed at how good it sounds. I believe I have one more night left to finish the mix down process, and then we'll get it "mastered", and send it off for duplication. Woo Hoo! I'll be so glad to have my nights back!

I decided a long time ago that if I was going to work outside the home, that I needed to "protect" my evenings so they could be spent with my family. That's why I very seldom attend jewelry parties, candle parties, and various other things that I sometimes get invited to. I even prayerfully weigh various ministry things that I get called to do. All that to say, I obviously felt like this CD was something I was called to do, but I'll be glad to get things back in balance!
