Sing unto the Lord a new song

So, around this time I began singing seriously, and I started getting gigs singing as a soloist / section leader in churches. This was an interesting way to go to church regularly without having to actually sit out there in the pews with everyone else. Over the years I sang at Disciples of Christ, Episcopalian, Methodist, UCC, and Presbyterian churches in Dallas and Asheville, NC.

I was singing at the Central Christian Church - Disciples of Christ in Dallas when I first felt the presence of God in a physical way. This was not long after my father had died. I had to sing a solo and I was nervous, and I literally felt God reach down and wrap her arms around me. Yes, Her arms. I'll talk about that sometime soon. I felt a huge sense of peace, and saw a golden glow around everything. It was a really profound moment for me.
