Howdy everyone!  Wow, it's been awhile since I posted new stuff or even wrote a real blog.  :)  I've been working hard, so there will be some new stuff coming shortly. 

I wanted to share my new Christmas song with you called "Shine."  It was written with a very special and amazing friend - Kristy Jackson.  (I'm pretty sure I did another blog about how we met, so check it out - it's crazy!)

I have always wanted to write a Christmas song, and I wanted to write it from a totally fresh perspective.  So, we decided to tell the about Jesus' birth from the perspective of the Bethlehem star.  This star was instructed by God to travel from Jerusalem and rest over Bethlehem in order to guide people to where His Son was born.  The Bethlehem star was an integral part in leading people to see the baby Jesus, so we decided she needed a voice.   

This song has already been such a blessing to me, and I'm so proud to be a part of it.  I hope you enjoy it! 

Peace, Love and Blessings,

Megan

It's a cold night here in Bethlehem, my instructions were quite clear
Travel south from Jerusalem, and was told to rest right here
There's an old farm house, an angel, and a manger in a barn
There's a couple with a newborn baby in their arms
 
It's no ordinary evening,  I'm not sure what else I'll see
I was told there will be others and they'll be looking first for me
 
So, I'll shine
I'll shine
I'll be the light through the dark in the night
I'll shine
 
There are three men in the distance wearing beaded crowns
They carry mhyrr and inscence to this humble little town
They have heard of a blessed child that they have come to see
And travelled over many miles because they believe
 
Their eyes are looking upward as if looking for a guide
I guess that's why I'm here tonight
So, I'll brightly
 
Shine
I'll shine
I'll be the light through the dark in the night
I'll shine
 
Now, I understand why God needed a star
To shind on His Son, they won't have to look far, cause I'll
 
Shine
I'll shine
I'll shine
I'll be the light throught he dark in the night
I'll shine
