Being in the recording studio sounds glamorous, and it IS fun.  But something unexpected happens every time I am in the studio... I am humbled.  Like everyone, I sound awesome in the shower! ;-)  But in the recording studio, sitting in the quiet, with all focus on the one thing being heard - the playback of my voice - isolated, every miss-pronunciation and every incorrect note heard LOUD through the surround sound speakers.   In that moment, I can’t hide behind the music or the other singers parts. Humbled by my blatant imperfections, I am only left with the choice to face my humanity.  But, thankful for God’s grace and that HE is a perfect example for me to strive toward. 

James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will exalt you. 

James 1:17 Every desirable and every beneficial gift comes out of heaven
