12:12:18~My Biggest Dreams for My Music Future:

So back in my "getting to know" me post, I talked a little about who I am and how I want to pursue music more in the future. So, I decided as part of my 12 days of blogmas, I would share an extended post of what I what to do with music in the future and dreams I have in the music world, that may or may not ever happen.
The first thing I know I want to do with music in the near future is to be in a choir. I know for sure that I want to be in a choir/the choir when I get into college. I would love if it is a traveling choir, but just being back in a choir will be so great! I was in the choir from the time I was in the fourth grade until freshman year, when we started homeschooling. So being in a full-time choir is something I miss greatly. I love to sing on my own and with the worship team, but there is just something extra special to me about being in a choir and the community that comes with that. 
I have been looking into getting involved in a local choir but I will save that information for later.  I will definitely make an announcement if something comes of it!
I did talk about wanting to pursue worship ministry after high school and/or after college. As of right now, I have plans to major in nursing and minor in music, after high school. If I was to ever go back and get my master's later on in life, I would probably get that in music. Currently, my plans are to just get my bachelor's but I am very curious to see what the Lord has planned for me. (I have learned that His plans are normally different than mine.)
One dream or goal that I have as well, is to learn to play the guitar. I love the sound of the guitar and how versatile it can be. It is also just something that is a great staple skill as a musician. So I am looking into that and hopefully I will be learning some of the basics from a friend soon! 

Those are my more realistic dreams, but I do have some dreams that might never happen, but are fun to think about. 
I have sang since I was very young, so began to dream about crazy music dreams haha! But, I always loved the thought of going on tour someday as a big, famous music artist! I always wanted to have my own tour bus and manager and ask people to open for my shows. 
I no longer have that as a dream really, just because the fame and fortune of Hollywood and the music industry is not something I think I would enjoy. 
Another dream I've had for a long time is to record a christmas album and a classic hymns album. I am not exactly sure where these dreams came from and why it is something I want to do so bad, but I just really love both types of music, so that's been a dream of mine for a long time.

There's something I always tell people when they ask me about worship leading and it is basically a motto for me...
"Spirit lead me.------These are the only words I ever want to rely on when leading worship. It's not about me. It's not about anyone else. It's not about how many times you're supposed to sing something. Or what the 'plan' was supposed to be. It's about being lead by Him. and only Him. It's not an emotional high, it's praise."
Praise over performance. It is something I constantly pray before I lead or before I actually have a performance. Even when I am supposed to be performing, I want it to be natural praise for me. Number one, it knocks the nerves off of performing if you are just singing praises. Number two, if God gave me the gift and the oppurtunity to sing, why would I not use it to glorify Him?


I hope you all enjoyed this post and got to know a little better! These are just a few thoughts, dreams, hopes, and goals for me!

love always,

Iz💛💛

A Life With Love is a Life That's Been Lived~12.29.23

      "It's been a year. And I ain't saying it ain't been a good one. It's been a did a lot more than I could one. It's been 365 record lows and record highs, loving and losing, fun and confusing, praying and shifting gears. For the minute you've got, it's probably a lot more than you wanna hear. So all I'll say is, it's been a year."           -Ashely Cooke     For those of you who may not know, we lost my mom after a long battle with cancer on December 20. Some of you have walked alongside myself and my family in during all the way through her journey and some of you may not have. None the less, I feel as if it is my duty to share her story, her life, and her beauty through her story and her journey. So, feel free to stick around and read, though it might possibly be the longest post I've ever shared. ♥     On April 12, 2022, I was at work as if it was any other day. For me, it was. I vividly remember sitting in our "two...

Tuesday Evening Thoughts~11.14.23

 In 1855, a man by the name of Joseph M. Scriven, wrote a poem in order to comfort his mother. She was living in Ireland and he resided in Canada at the time. Joseph published this poem anonymously and never was recognized for it until almost thirty years later. Yet, this poem has become what we now know as the old hymn,  "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."        I often find myself hearing this song and thinking so deeply on the words of it. The depth of which this poem was written (later turned into a song) is something that as a young child I grew up singing in church as the average Sunday hymn. I never thought twice about the true meaning of it until I was much older and encountered things in life that taught me to rely on the Lord. None the less, I'd like to share what I've learned and what the Lord has showed me through this beautiful song.  "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear!...

12.31.18~Here's To 2019!

2019 is obviously upon us...it's a new year, hopefully of new things. I want to do new things. I want to try new things. I want to sing new songs. Meet new people. etc. etc. I'm excited to see where 2019 takes me and the special people in my life. I'm looking forward to seeing how God works in and through me! I want Him to use me in any ways He sees fit. I want Him to use my music, my blog, and my youtube channel for His glory. I have some goals and hopes for this next year, and I just wanted to share some of those with you. So the first thing that I am setting as a goal for 2019 is to simply "trust more. worry less." I often find myself worrying about all kinds of things, big and small. I want to trust Jesus more and worry a WHOLE LOT less. I don't want to worry about school, church, music, or anything. I want to learn to be more fluid and flexible. I definitely want to just release stress over things and just breathe. I want to be more in the moment and ...
