The last few months my husband Jake and I were in San Diego since he has had back issues but we are grateful that an MRI is slated for June and we are thankful for those who have been praying. During our stay in SD I flew to Nashville to record vocals for an upcoming CD, all went well and again we thank you for your prayers! We are now back in Canada and Creative Soul Records is in the process of recording BGV’s (Background Vocals) and mixing the album. Many of you are waiting in anticipation, as I am, for this release. Hang in there!!…there’s a lot work that goes into a great project, it’s very exciting!! I would appreciate it if you haven’t already done so to like my page . Thank you for your support!

Preparations for New Recording

September was the start of working toward a new recording project. In October I was writing songs with Eric Copeland of Creative Soul in Nashville who is also producing the CD. In the last couple of months we’ve been tracking the songs and I’ve been vocally preparing to go into the studio. A number of very talented musicians are playing on the project and I really like what I hear! In two weeks I will be flying to Nashvile to record the vocals, I’m pretty excited and will keep you in the loop! You’ll definitely want to keep posted! Just “Like” my Facebook Band Page and you’ll be sure to be added to all the news about the new release in the coming months! Thanks and hope things are going well for you! If not my friend let me know about it!

Merry Christmas!!

I had the privilege to sing and share at two Christmas banquets this year, what a wonderful time it was! To speak into the hearts of single women who are struggling at this time of year and to encourage them with the hope that we can have through Jesus. Also what a blessing it was to sing at the Erskine Evangelical Free Churches banquet, even though I was not feeling well the people were touched in a special way. They responded by saying that they “saw” Jesus as I was singing, that nothing had been missed in the presence of a right spirit and the beautiful Christmas powerpoint. As a result I was so blessed and encouraged by that evening as well!

May your Christmas be filled with God’s presence and love as you celebrate all the amazing gifts that He has given to us. He is the most valuable gift you could ever receive. He is the love we search for, the understanding we all desperately need, and the forgiveness we are lost without.

Wishing you a blessed and Merry Christmas!!

Exciting Travels!

This last month I flew to Alberta to do a concert that blessed and encouraged the people of Erskine E. Free. I look forward to going back for Christmas! A few hours after arriving home I drove to Seattle WA. to then fly to Nashville, TN. to do some songwriting and a photo shoot. It was a great week and very productive! It was great to get back home but only to be there for a short stint and then went to Summerland to have a great weekend with my son, daughter-in-law and grandsons. I am so looking forward to being closer to home, getting organized and preparing for what’s ahead! God is good!! What exciting things is he doing in your life?
Where is he taking you on your journey?

Had a great time in Nashville! Met up with the Staff at Artist in Christian Testimony and had lunch together. Also had a very encouraging meeting with Creative Soul and visited the Darkhorse Studio……what a great place! Jake and I had a wonderful time checking out the sites in Nashville as well, missed a few so looking forward to checking those out at another time!

Spring & Summer 2011

jeannette — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 23:24:04 +0000

It’s amazing how quickly a couple of months can fly by. The spring and summer have been filled with activity. Our son, daughter in-law and grandsons moved to Summerland in June. Fortunately it’s only a few hours away! Jake and I spent a weekend there and it was fabulous! In July we went to Manitoba to visit our folks, family and friends. It’s alway great to see and spend time with them. When we returned home we got company, Dennis and Faye from His Will, His Way Ministries from Puerto Vallarta came for a visit and it was Faye’s first time in Canada. We had a great time showing them around Vancouver! Shortly there after a good friend moved away to Edmonton and now I’m off to Nashville! It will be interesting to see what God has instore! Enjoy your summer!

Back from Missions in P.V., Ministering in B.C.

jeannette — Sun, 22 May 2011 23:45:53 +0000

For those who are keeping up with my blogs….Sorry it’s taken me so long to write. We got back from our mission work in Puerto Vallarta at the end of March. There were many mixed emotions as we left. It’s hard when you pour part of your life into others lives and then leave after 2 1/2 months. Yes, it may have been the most challenging experience of the 7 years we have been involved there with missions, but it was also very rewarding and a blessing to be doing the Lord’s work, and to know that we have impacted many people’s lives….kids and adults.
In April I was invited to speak and sing at a “Love In Any Language” Women’s Spring Tea at Sunshine Ridge Baptist Church. It was a wonderful and touching event for the women. Shortly after that Jake and I went to San Diego for a much needed rest.
At this point, we both are looking to God for what He has planned for us in this next season. Getting back I have had a lot of organizing to do, dealing with some health issues that have come up, working on my fall ministry schedule and hoping that God will open up new opportunities to serve!
Keep us and Break-Thru Productions in your prayers and I’ll keep you posted!

Primavera

jeannette — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 00:15:43 +0000

Stonecroft ministries put on their first outreach brunch this last Wednesday morning for the Women in Puerto Vallarta and they called it “Primavera” which means new beginnings or season of spring. What a wonderful event it was to start off the spring season here in Paradise! A couple of ladies from Paradise Community Center and I got together to do the song “Primavera”(mainstream), “All I’ve Been Wating For” (off my Beyond Reason Album) and “One Thing Remain’s” ( a worship chorus). They also had an award winning hairstylist showing his cuts and we had a wonderful brunch and speaker. I hope more events like this can happen here in P.V. and pray that the Lord touched women’s hearts!
