It just keeps getting better!!!
In the last blog I shared how we were divinely led into the Millersville Waffle House in Goodlettsville. We promised to return the next night with our instruments and a full concert.
While this promise meant we couldn't go out to Broadway with the folks at The Objective, we knew something special was waiting at The Waffle House. Chris, my friend Maya's husband, Pastor of newly started Calvary Chapel Nashville offered to bring an amp for Joe's Electric Guitar, and an amp for my Nord piano. This was last minute news, a couple of hours before we headed out to the Waffle House.
We shared our hearts at the Objective Showcase with a couple of songs where we received feedback from a panel of four judges. Many friends and their families that we've met along the way came out to support us and wanted to visit with us for a little bit and then we had the opportunity to listen to the rest of the bands that night.
After that, we made our way back to the Waffle House where we set up our gear and gave a concert. We started the night singing an old hymn everyone knows, Amazing Grace. There were a few of the same folks we had met the night before and folks there from Calvary Chapel at Rivergate and as mentioned before Calvary Chapel Nashville.
One of the gals we met was our new friend's daughter. After the concert, she and I spoke for a bit. It turned out that she longed for peace and wants to follow Jesus. She knew she needed Him but hadn't yet committed her life to Him. Jesus has been chasing after her a long time as He does for every lost sheep... He never lets us go, without going out to seek us out. He never discards us because of sin! He came and died and rose again BECAUSE OF SIN!!! Sin is WHY we need to turn our life to Him, otherwise we wouldn't need His forgiveness! She committed her life to Jesus that night and my prayer is that she would run with Him and never look back! I am so excited for her and how God is going to bless so many other little lost sheep through her life and story of redemption!
All those seeds planted in her heart and watered!... and tonight, we had the privilege of seeing the fruit! So excited for our new friends and family from the Waffle House!!!
So, we were given the suggestion to change up our band name. When I was born, my parents were undecided about what name I would have. So, the hospital fittingly gave me the name "Baby Girl" Fontanes until my parents could decide. Well, they decided on my name but my Birth certificate to this day remains "Baby Girl".
So... Baby Girl and the Waffle House Band was suggested. :) We're having fun with it and thought you might too! We've even jested about a Waffle House Tour! What do you think?!?!
Please pray for our newly and recommitted "now running with Jesus" friends/family at the Waffle House!
Love, e
Follow along as I write about life, lessons learned, and experiences as a singer/songwriter, time on the mission field, and co-founder of an organization to encourage the called to take the gifts and abilities given, go out, and rescue the lost sheep in the world.
