Fast forward one year. It was the first of September, and I had not slept for two weeks. Literally, for two weeks solid, I woke up every morning at 3am. Finally, one morning, I said, "for crying out loud, God, WHY am I awake every morning at 3am!" The first thing that popped in my mind was The Harvest Show. It was as if God was saying, "I asked you to send your DVD to the Harvest Show, and you never did it."
That was a Sunday morning. Later that morning I went to church. Toward the end of the sermon, John (our Pastor) stopped, looked out at the congregation and asked this question, "what is it that God has asked you to do, that you have not done?" So, needless to say, I received God's message, and put the DVD in the mail the next day.
About a week later, I had an e-mail from the booking coordinator of the Harvest Show, asking me to come on the show and sing my songs. Yesterday, October 26th, I did that. I faced my fears, walked in faith, and was obedient to Christ by appearing on the show...what an honor to serve my Savior.
You can view that program by clicking here or http://www.harvest-tv.com/. If you're reading this after Monday 10/29, you may have to click on "archived shows".
If you're saying, "I've never heard of the Harvest Show", here's some info that they gave me about it:

Wow.
God also blessed me, IMMENSELY, this week as one of my devotions ran this past Tuesday as the "Encouragement for Today" daily devotion put out by Proverbs 31 Ministries . (Thanks Rachel) You can read that devo here.
I had not posted anything previously about The Harvest Show, because I didn't want to make it a big deal. Because if I made it a big deal, then it would make me nervous :-) I did, however, have a few people praying for me regarding that event, and I just wanted to say thank you to those who were covering me in prayer. I felt your prayers. Thank you.

Wow, Missy M! I am SO proud of you! That is truly amazing! Please share more! I have so many questions! Where did you go to do the show? Was that Tim's accompaniment? I WANT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT IT! (BTW, when you get famous, do you think you'll need a court reporter to carry your music or something?"
Melissa, I
I'm so excited for you, and in awe of how God works. I'm encouraged that God speaks- and makes it clear- and that we can take a step, in faith, even in fear- and see Him glorified in our lives, through our gifts and talents exercised in boldness and obedience. I love that song "Be still and Know that I am God" and its just what I'm going to be sharing with the women at my next women's LIFE workshop. When your emotions are running and raging, we can be still, before Him, in awe of knowing HE is GOD.
I FINALLY got it to work! I could NOT be more proud of you, Friend. For your God-given talent, for your heart, for your lyrics of praise and awe, and for your obedience. What a testimony. What a blessing.
Wow! God's perfect timing! I came on too late to see it but what a God we serve! His ways are always right. His timing is always perfect! I'm proud of the person He's made you to be! And, I'm sure glad he's connected our hearts across state lines!
Love you, sister!
Beth
