A few months back, I saw a post from a friend about a possible opportunity for my music ministry. At first, I thought that I should not go for it because I was tired of feeling rejected and I could not take one more 'no.' But, the Spirit convicted me for my negative thoughts and convinced me to give it a shot. I filled out a profile. I waited and waited to hear if I was accepted. And, finally, on the last day, in almost the last hour, after a somewhat desperate plea, I got an e-mail saying that I had been accepted as a Creator in the One Spark festival.
If you are not in the Jacksonville area, you may not have heard of this festival. If you are in the Jacksonville area, you may not have heard about it. Slowly, but surely the buzz is building. Signs are up around town. The news is reporting on this unique festival that is slated to be the best thing to happen to Jacksonville since the Super Bowl...and I am a part of it! One Spark brings together creators of art, music, science, technology and allows them to present their creations and compete for a portion of a $250,000 guaranteed fund. I am currently halfway finished with my first CD and I am attending the GMA's IMMERSE conference in May, so just one or two percent of the vote is what I would need to continue to pursue the passion that God placed in my heart. One Spark starts tomorrow and ends on Sunday, so I am not sure if I will be able to blog during the event, but I will do my best to keep all my loyal readers updated whenever I get the chance. I am very excited about this opportunity and God has already shown me that I cannot imagine the doors He will open for my music ministry, so I am giddy with anticipation about what other opportunities may spring forth from this festival. Please pray for me and with me that God's will be done, for awesome weather (as I will be outside), a clear throat for all of my singing opportunities, the safety and security of all Creators, Venues, Sponsors, Volunteers and Attendees, and that I will let go, have fun, and let God! If you are in the Jacksonville area and you want to support me, I will be at the Riverwalk, on the corner of Newnan and Coastline, in a green tent. My project is Toni LaShaun Christian Music. More information is available on the Toni LaShaun Music website. Whether you support me in prayer or in person, thank
