Hello Diane Kay Supporters!
Well it has been a while since I posted a blog here. It is hard to keep up with all the sites and I got distracted on Facebook for quite a while, but got bored with my fish tank. Anyway; 2009 was quite a good year ministry wise and music wise. I started working with Eric on the new album, but it is slow going on the finance end of it. I have written at least 10 or more songs since the release of my first album and recently have been inspired to write some awesome rockin' material!. My son said my new song "I'M NOT DONE" sounds like a Collective Soul song! Hmm, imagine that! I woke up on my birthday morning (Jan 14) and started writing the lyrics with a chord progression in my head and then finished it the next morning! Ever year on my birthday, I reflect on what I have accomplished for Gods Kingdom. I woke up thinking to myself "Hmm, I am still here, I am alive; I guess I am not done yet!" Then later that night my son took me to a concert in Atlanta where several bands were opening up for "Smile Empty Soul" . We were talking to some of the members of this one band that I liked "FLIRTING WITH FIRST" and Ross Childress (former lead guitarist for Collective Soul) was there and Geoffrey told him it was my birthday. So, Ross told me "Happy Birthday", shook my hand and gave me his autograph. Of course with this ministry always on my mind, I told him what we do and he thought it was cool!
I prayed for God to clarify our mission and with great excitement, we know that we are called to serve God at the Youth Detention Centers in the Metro Atlanta Area. We have had a great response from the inmates at every center and the staff really appreciates anyone who comes to share their talents, ministry or just love and care with them! So, we are currently booked up to June for the surrounding counties and I am still working on the schedule. I can't even describe the awesomeness of sharing my music with these young adults; reaching out to them; sharing my hope and love in Jesus Christ!
We are also going to be available for other public live concerts this year and hope to raise some money for this ministry! Anyone that is interested in booking us for that kind of opportunity- WE ARE PRAYING FOR THAT!
God Bless You!
Diane Kay
