In the mirror face to face with
somebody less than perfect
I wouldn’t choose me first if
I was looking for a champion
In fact I’d understand if
You picked everyone before me
But that’s just not my story….
I may not have chosen me, but I am so glad God did! He thinks I am perfectly imperfect.
I am a natural encourager. As far back as I can remember I have loved to encourage people and help them recognize their own awesomeness. I am a great cheerleader just without all the backflips and high toe jumps.
Since coming to Christ and knowing that He definitely is all about Restoration, and the transformation He did in my own life, I love to share God’s awesomeness with others too.
True to who You are
You saw my heart
and made
Something out of nothing
I am not a nobody, I am just somebody that simply said yes to God.
I’m not living for applause
I’m already so adored
It’s all His stage
He knows my name oh, oh,
He knows my name oh, oh
“It’s all His stage”
and thankfully it is big enough for us all!
I don’t live for the applause or count likes or followers. When God downloaded Restored Ministries to me in February 2014, I said,
Lord if just one person is encouraged or inspired and comes to know You deeper, I am good. I told God that I wanted to be obedient to what He asked me to do and not run ahead or try to force things on my own. I want to follow His flow.
Almost 2 years later, God is still faithful. He is still blowing my mind with Divine Encounters, and appointments and connections.
Each day God brings so many people across my path, online and off, to pray for, encourage, inspire, serve, help, mentor and love, etc.
He knows my name, and my heart, and what He has called me to… I don’t have to force others to understand or support it.
Of course it is important to advertise, don’t get me wrong, we should share and ask others to like what we are doing, but ultimately I trust God to bring who He needs to bring in His perfect timing. I don’t need my name in lights, I am already famous in my Father’s eyes.

LYRICS:
Spent today in a conversation
In the mirror face to face with
somebody less than perfect
I wouldn’t choose me first if
I was looking for a champion
In fact I’d understand if
You picked everyone before me
But that’s just not my story
True to who You are
You saw my heart
and made
Something out of nothing
[Chorus:]
I don’t need my name in lights
I’m famous in my Father’s eyes
Make no mistake
He knows my name
I’m not living for applause
I’m already so adored
It’s all His stage
He knows my name oh, oh,
He knows my name oh, oh
I’m not meant to just stay quiet
I’m meant to be a lion
I’ll roar beyond a song
With every moment that I’ve got
True to who You are
You saw my heart
and made
Something out of nothing
[Chorus]
He calls me chosen, free forgiven, wanted, child of the King,
His forever, held in treasure…
I am loved
I don’t need my name in lights…
I’m famous in my Father’s eyes…
[Chorus]
