Almost Country Music

Well today is a brand new day and so I will add more to this. It appears that life never stays the same. Times change, things change and we change. However things change, unless we die, we keep on living. True? I think it is. Seeings I am still alive and kicking I will continue on with my story.

I tried to get a song recorded but was ripped off instead. I do not know what actually happened for we lost all contact. All I know is that it was an expensive lesson for me that I never tried again.

Years later I re-married and was so very busy that for 5 years I hardly picked my guitar up. I wrote nothing. We traveled across the U.S. many times for 3 years. My small son, husband and I. We met a family in one of the states that lived in the country and played and sang. It was always a lot of fun to visit them. I fit right in. They played and sang country. He was learning the guitar when we first met and the song he sang to his pretty wife was “Just a swinging….” something about being on the back porch eating choclate cake …somthing like that. I have not seen them for over 10 years now. Time passes by !

A year after my 2nd divorce I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was a turning point in my life. I wrote many songs. Some songs were about lost love and stuff like that. Suddenly it seemed , my songs changed from eathly love to Heavenly Love. I learned nothing about the cancer but a lot about the Grace of God and the Love of Jesus!!!

During my healing time I began singing with some friends. We sang at nursing homes and churches and such. Then things changed. Nothing ever stays the same. Two of us started singing with another woman. We were to be known as Serenity. Later on we were dubbed in Britt, Iowa at the National Hobo Convertion, as the National Hobo Gospel Singers.We still are and will be untill the Lord leads us elsewhere.
