When you go on the World Race, one of the most commonly discussed questions is How do you realize your dream? What, at the end of your life, must happen for you to
die well? For some, it’s having a
family, for others building an orphanage in Haiti and for still others it means
building a business.
My dream was and is music – I know if I am going to die happy; I need to pursue music under some capacity. So, last week, my wife (fellow racer Jenny Willis
Telfer), Kim Daniels, Chuck Day and I made the trek to Nashville, Tennessee to start on the
first part of the dream: recording an
album. We spent three days, recording and
perfecting my freshman album – and the feeling we walked away with is
nothing less than exhilaration. Jenny
shared a little bit of how we’re feeling in realizing the dream.
It’s Saturday night and Kim, Chris and I are driving through
downtown Nashville. We just left the studio where Chris recorded his first
album and are now listening to it in the rental car. I feel so ALIVE. I am full
of joy, bursting with hope, excited about the future. I am unsinkable in this
moment. My husband just fulfilled one of
his life-long dreams of recording an album.
Thanks to all that have believed in me and are partnering with me in this dream.
You can listen to some of my music on Myspace. And please feel free to find me on Facebook and Twitter and be a part of my journey as I continue to
pursue the path God has set before me.
