Such Encouragement from the Internet
This week I posted this on my YouTube channel, and was totally overwhelmed with the positive support and affirmation. I am pasting it below for those who didn't see it. Thank you to those who pray for me and encourage me!

Income and views were never the point for me, but it felt like affirmation:
- Daily and varied comments of how God used my music in people's personal devotion
- Hundreds of new subscribers each month
- A couple hundred dollars in my pocket every month.
- Increasing views and a general excitement buzz...But not anymore. Is it time for me to find a new outlet?
Shorts don't really work for me (I can't put a whole song in a short anyway).
Long-form content doesn't match the "scripture to song" idea -- I could just reissue entire books, but that doesn't last long...
Plus, I don't want to just chase what's trending! Scripture is rarely trending.
If you even see this message, I'd love to hear your thoughts, or even a bit of encouragement.
