Sometimes I feel like a little who down in Whoville shouting out “We are Here! We are Here!” Desperate for someone to here me. Sometimes I think no one is listening. Sometimes I KNOW that someone is listening.

In this world and in my generation we send out our tweets, out posts, our photos shouting: We are Here, We are Here! But often it gets lost. Often our intentions aren’t pure. I’ve felt a strong desire to join up in the cause of sharing. Sharing life, sharing lessons, sharing stories, sharing projects, sharing art. Sharing for the purpose of teaching things I know how to do and exhorting what I know to be true.

But I fight.

I fight the norm, the need to shout: We Are Here! I fight it because I fear I will get lost in it. I fear I will make the importance of that small little shout too big. I fear that I will put pressure on myself constantly comparing. Comparing myself to what others do and comparing myself with what I think I should be doing.

I’ve lost the battle.

I’ve lost because I have need. Need to teach. Need to create. Need to exhort. Need to be a part of the culture that God has placed me in. All of this need is wrapped up in one big desire. I desire to share in order to bless and to be blessed by others, regardless of my fears.

SO THAT:

I would humbly present myself as a vessel to be used in whatever ways the Lord has planned.

So…here I am yet again. I’ve tried and failed before, mainly because my focus was all wrong. But here I am trying again and this time I have a feeling it will stick. So if you are willing to come along for this ride I hope you will join us! This time I hope the focus to be less on what I am doing and more on what GOD is doing. (even as I type I fight because I know that kind of branding “shouldn’t” work…but…)

God has made me apart of a beautiful family. He has made me a part of the Musical Murphys and our family seeks to worship God in art, music and life. Our God given desire is to inspire people to creatively seek after him and to worship him whole hearted.

Praise be to God! Love, Allie
