Who gave it to me:
Carol Amstutz my mentor
Summary:
A book about songwriting and creating. He takes a look as his journey as a singer songwriter. It's basically a beautiful book of his rambling thoughts. I realized we think extremely similarly. His vocabulary is similar to mind and I often found myself smiling thinking how similar we seemed to be.
Lesson learned:
We are all creators, created by the Creator. Keep pushing and keep pressing into what and how God wants to seep out of you.
Favorite quote:
"This is why the Enemy wants you to think you have no song to write, no story to tell, no painting to paint. He wants to quiet you. So sing. Let the Word by which the Creator Made you fill your imagination, guide our pen, lead you from note to note until a melody is strung together like a glimmering constellation in the clear sky. Love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor, too, by making worlds and works of beauty that blanket the earth like flowers. Let your homesickness keep you always from spiritual slumber. Remember that it is in the fellowship of saints, of friends and family, that your gift will grow best, and will find its best expression."
