A New Album, a new music video and what's new with River and Me Ministries

✨ Hi everyone!

I hope this finds you well and blessed. It’s been such a full and beautiful season, and I wanted to take a moment to share what’s been happening lately — and to thank you for all your love, prayers, and encouragement along the way. 💛

🎶 A Big Milestone: My New Album Release!

Last month was especially exciting because… I released my music album!

It’s part of River and Me Ministries Music. Each track carries a piece of my heart — stories and melodies that have come 

from moments of joy, waiting, and deep faith.

Every song is a reflection of God’s faithfulness, peace, and love through life’s ups and downs. From quiet prayers whispered in the dark to joyful praise for His goodness, my hope is that these songs remind you that God is always near and always working for our good.

You can listen to the album on our ministry platforms.

I’d love to hear which song speaks to you most. 💿✨

🎥 Music Video & Creative Projects

I also had the joy of creating a music video for one of the songs I wrote and sang! It’s been such a fun and faith-filled experience — from writing the lyrics and recording vocals, to seeing the visuals come alive. Watching it reach hearts and encourage others has been such a blessing.

If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s available on our My YouTube Channel

🌊 What’s New with River and Me Ministries

It’s been wonderful to see how creativity can point hearts back to Him. If you haven’t yet, please consider subscribing — your support helps us reach more people with encouragement, light, and laughter.

💌 Thank You from My Heart

Thank you all for supporting me, praying for me, and walking beside me in this journey. Whether you’ve shared a kind word, watched a video, or simply prayed — it means more than I can ever express.

I’m so grateful for each one of you and for the way 

God connects us through His love.

With love and blessings,

Studying the Bible through summaries

Lately, my mom and I have started reading summaries of each chapter in the Bible, and we’re currently in Genesis. It’s amazing how much more we’re getting out of God’s Word by doing it this way. The summaries help us see the bigger picture of what’s happening in each chapter and how everything fits together.

We’ve read through the Bible before and always enjoyed it, but this approach has been different—it’s helping us understand more deeply. Instead of just reading the text, we’re slowing down and letting it sink in. The summaries break each chapter down in a way that makes it easier to follow and remember what’s going on.

It’s been such a refreshing way to study and grow, and I’m so thankful for the new insights God keeps showing us through His Word.

Growing as a Christian takes personal effort

There are so many people who can’t 

seem to grow in their home church.

And truth be told, a lot of churches stop growing—so naturally, the people in them do too.

But when you stop growing, you start slipping away.

Here’s the truth: your growth was never meant to depend solely on your church.

The Bible says, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV)

Your pastor and your church are meant to help you grow, but they aren’t supposed to be your only source. Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights aren’t enough to sustain your spiritual life. That’s why so many people become churchgoers rather than true followers of Christ—because growth takes personal effort.

You have to make Jesus your priority—above everything else. He must come first before anything and anyone.

So start seeking Him daily:

• Pray when you wake up.

• Pray throughout your day.

• Pray before you go to bed.

And don’t forget to study your Bible on your own.

Remember, there are false teachers out there. If you’re not rooted in God’s Word, you won’t be able to tell when something is being preached from the flesh instead of from the truth.

Spiritual growth isn’t about church attendance—it’s about personal relationship.

It’s about letting Jesus lead you, teach you, and transform you from the inside out.
