Shameless Family Promotion

Wednesday June 10, 2009   ~   25 Comments

Sure, my last post had audio from John Piper, but this one is "way better."

Here is my daughter singing in the 5th grade talent show. She nails it. Sorry for my screaming at the end, but... well... I am a big fan of my kids.

Feel free to tell Kristen how well she did in the comments... she will read every word. ;-)

Kristen - you can't "learn" to sing like that. It is a God given talent. I bet we will be hearing from you in the future! God bless you! And....I don't blame your dad for yelling at the end!!

By Jan G on June 10, 2009 9:47 PM

Kristen, You rock girl - your voice is an amazing gift. That is an incredibly challenging song too! Keep using your beautiful voice.

By Nana on June 10, 2009 10:07 PM

WOW! what a great performance.
You have a wonderful gift! I love you and will see you SOON.
Love,
Nana

By Rick Gibson on June 10, 2009 10:13 PM

Hey Kristin! World traveler and talented singer, wow that was a great performance! You have a big beautiful voice, keep it up.

By Ken Todd on June 10, 2009 11:16 PM

Great Job! Absolutely loved it! Keep singing!

By Chuck Mullis on June 11, 2009 5:36 AM

Whenever someone says "listen to my child sing, they're awesome!", you begin to cringe a little bit, because parents tend to be a bit biased. However you truly are awesome! An amazing voice and talent. Rock on!

By Michael on June 11, 2009 7:24 AM

I did not know I was traveling with such a superstar. Great job Kristen!! I was hopping for some poppin - lockin dancing at the end like you were doing in Rome and Marseille ;-).

By Barry Wallace on June 11, 2009 7:26 AM

Wow. You're not just biased. She has a great voice!

By Les Puryear on June 11, 2009 7:58 AM

Wow! Great voice! Thanks for sharing this. She's gonna be an American Idol one day.

By Andy Fowler on June 11, 2009 8:34 AM

Ed, that's an amazing voice for one so young. This is surely a gift from God. Nurture it for His glory.

By Bruce Ashford on June 11, 2009 9:23 AM

Kristen, that was amazing! God has given you a great gift and we look forward to seeing what you do with it in the future. (Some of us are very jealous. Take me, for example. When I sing, I shound like a donkey with athsma.)

By Jason Hayes on June 11, 2009 11:06 AM

Way to go, Kristen! You did great.

By Bryan on June 11, 2009 11:56 AM

Keep it up!!! God has definitely blessed you with a beautiful voice. And I must say, you have much more courage than I did in 5th grade. I would have never had the guts to get up and sing in front of my class/school. Well Done!

By Hal Hunter on June 11, 2009 12:20 PM

Kristen- that is NOT a fifth-grade voice! That is the voice of someone with more experience and musical maturity. Great job!

Ed- I hope there are plans for her to get some voice training- she has a great gift and a lot of potential.

By Vicky Reed on June 11, 2009 12:59 PM

Awesome! My third grade son was very impressed.

By Mario Hood on June 11, 2009 2:36 PM

Good Job!!

By Sandra E. Wilson on June 11, 2009 3:03 PM

Great job, Kristen! Awesome. Your Dad has bragged on your great voice many times. Now I know why! We are all proud of you.

By Kristi Pennington on June 11, 2009 3:28 PM

Kristen,Wow! You have an incredible voice. God is going to use you in so many ways for His glory.I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to hear you.

By Mrs. Stark on June 11, 2009 4:14 PM

Kristen, I thought your performance was AMAZING that day! All the students, teachers, and parents in the gym were all thinking the same thing, "Wow!"

By Paul Reaves on June 11, 2009 8:19 PM

Oh, my goodness! Now that was great! Hey, Kristen! I've been doing music stuff for a long time and I've never heard a young lady sing like that. If I was starting a band I'd look for a singer like you! Keep it up!

By Roger Sharp on June 11, 2009 8:39 PM

If you are ever in Houston, bring your cd track with you and you'll have an open stage to sing on :)

Ed

what I am about to say has nothing to do with the above post. So...delete this after you read it if you like. But, I just read an article on BP that I hope you will respond to. I am a big fan of Lifeway Research and have read most all your books. I hope that you can put together a response soon.

PS - Loved your talk at Advance09. I left fired up!

By Sherry Melton on June 13, 2009 6:36 PM

What a strong voice she has and what a sweet quality to it! I see BIG things for her....wish Dad would let her sing in Church one
Sunday! hint hint....
