Sounds Of Recovery-One

I set out on a journey to find LOVE. A few memories of the beach, La Jolla Cove sea glass and royalty. I was brought up in such a tumultuous environment there was absolutely no peace. Leaving home at 13, I went right to the streets. The under dog was my refuge and I always seemed to be the only white girl where ever I went. From prison, prostitution, drugs, complete shame, I was the lowest of lows and didn't care. At 4 years old shame had entered my life and I can remember telling God then "I will not live in that body, you can't possibly want me to live there". My confidence of being a child much less a person was revoked by a foster parent. Continuing on for the rest of my days the only way to stay in my body was to be completely medicated drunk or in the la la land of make believe. Telling people who I was was not an option so I made my life up as the day went on and on an on.... I could go into details but I like to share those for one on one, or meetings that will bring deliverance. Now I can honestly say that after a life of complete disaster I am living a life of complete deliverance. I found what I was looking for and that is LOVE. I found LOVE, I found that I came from LOVE, I am LOVE and LOVE is the answer for everything. I found out that if I stay down God will raise me up. Its not in possessions its through what He has already done for me. I found the only thing I have right now is the gifts that He has given me, my darling husband and my voice. He is in the sound of my voice and that is to be given to defuse nuclear warfare in the hearts of His people. My music is destined to be sent out into the atmosphere, flooding the earth with Sounds of Recovery, bringing healing and deliverance to one heart at a time. All of my healing I contribute to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my search for LOVE, my Pastor Lonnie McCowan and Toni Gooden (music director of Solid Rock Christian Center Ventura CA) their continued love and support for the last 13 years of my life. Now connecting with the music in me, my Mom was a jazz singer and Father a trombone player. My cousin Steve Smith, one of the best drummers in the world, well its in the blood of my family and in the blood of the lamb!!!! Glory Be to God from whom all blessings flow !!
