MINISTRY
Thank You God!
… for inspiring me with songs and working out every detail for the completion of this project. It has been an incredible experience. The Lord has divinely opened doors and put us in touch with some of his best and most incredibly talented people in his kingdom. Without the Lord I would be nothing. He’s given me an awesome ministry of music. Because of the anointing he pours out so generously, many unsaved people who may never set foot inside a church and may never listen to the word, will listen to a song.

FAMILY
I also want to thank my husband of 32 years. He has been my inspiration. He truly is the love of my life here on earth, sent from heaven. I would not be doing this CD without him. God has blessed me with a man that I am truly one with. He has believed in me from the first time he heard me sing. He has always had faith in me and given me confidence. He has always been a visionary in being one step ahead of me in putting this all together for the Lord. The Lord has worked through us to create what God wants to bring forth. With the help of the Lord and a husband who inspired me, I’ve fulfilled a life long dream. To get to this point, God had to fine tune me greatly. He’s had to transform and renew my mind.
REACHING THE NEXT GENERATION
I have a twenty-seven year old son, Nicholas of whom I’ve been blessed with and recently a lovely daughter-in-law, Brianne whom I love like a daughter. She has been a blessing to our family. My husband and I want to leave him an inheritance of God’s blessing in our next generation. We both have fought hard for our son to be free from generational curses.
I pray that the “Song in my heart “will be captured by him to carry on to his children. Each of these songs has been hand picked to reach people that are hurting, depressed, out of control because of the stresses of every day life. Many get themselves into fixes that place them in bondage and it shows up in there physical bodies, beliefs, and there personal relationships. Pleasing themselves becomes there god. What I sing about offers hope in a hopeless world where they feel that no one cares. The songs reflect who I am in him and what I’m all about, and the way I’ve grown up.
Many of us want a temporary fix. Those short term fixes become long term torment to ease the pain. The song “There’s somebody out there” talks about brokenness. Maybe you’ve been that someone who’s been hurt or abused and feel alone. In the song “Preacher Boy”, the way God reaches us and the way he is portrayed through us are different. Just set your eyes on the “truth of the Gospel” and you’ll “do what ya gotta do” with a purpose.

A COUNTRY GIRL . . .
I am truly a "Country Girl". I was born in a little country town on a farm in St. Peters, Indiana. I was the oldest of five children, so I had to pave the way for my younger siblings, at least that’s what I tell them. We didn’t have much in the way of material things, but we were raised in a loving Catholic family. My mother and father were wonderful parents and taught me how to survive in a way that not many kids learn. I learned to butcher chickens, hogs, cattle and sometimes deer, squirrels and rabbits if we were lucky enough for dad to capture some.
We had a pond out back where we did a lot of fishing as well. Since I was the oldest, at a young age dad taught me to plow and disk the fields and bale hay. I ruined several pieces of machinery, of which my younger siblings remind me of from time to time. But when my next two brothers got old enough, they took over the farming detail which left me with just the butchering and feeding and canning and freezing, and anything else that needed to be done.
One thing for sure, we never got bored. My mother has been a tough act to follow because she worked so hard to provide food for these five hungry mouths. And my daddy provided for us by repairing air conditioners and refrigerators for households and businesses, and farmed as well. Horses were something I enjoyed as a pass time. We raised all kind of animals. Even though I didn’t appreciate it much then, I look back now and see the value in all of it. I’m very grateful to have learned to do things the hard way.

SINGING EARLY
Going to church was always an important part of my life. I remember talking to God at a young age. Even though I didn’t know the validity of how that relationship would blossom in the future.
At the age of ten years old my family went to a social gathering. There was always a band. There was a young girl who was singing about my age, which inspired me. That night I played an old wash tub with a string coming from the center. It sounded like a big old bass. I remember playing that all night until there were blisters on all my fingers. I told my father that night that I wanted to sing and learn to play guitar.
I started taking lessons soon after. In a short time I was playing music with my guitar teacher in various places. Within a year I started playing weekends at all kinds of functions, in a band called “Primrose Ramblers”, and actually started getting paid for it.

WIFE, MOTHER, SINGER
My high school years were much different then most teenagers because I was playing music on weekends. At fifteen years old, I cut a record, with two songs I wrote called “Sandy” who is my little sister, who was just born and of which I was so proud, and “A dream last night”. The song portrayed a dream to make it to the “Grand Olde Opry”. But in spite of my busy music schedule I found time for boys, which daddy, who was my manager, didn’t care too much about. At fifteen I met the boy of my dreams. He used to come and hear me play, and mingle in the crowd.
At eighteen I laid the band thing aside to go to Cosmetology School. I got married at twenty-one years of age. Guess who, to the man of my dreams. I continued to play music in various places. Got involved more at church and started doing praise and worship with guitar at our church services.
Well, during these years God started working in my spirit. Being a wife and hairdresser by trade, I met lots of wonderful people who for many years were my church. God used those people to bring me to a new place in him. Believe me; I was so far from being where I should be. I began to think about having a baby, which gave me incentive to get my act together with God. After five years of marriage a little boy came into our lives, Nicholas Ryan. He was the cutest little brown-eyed bundle of joy you could ever lay your eyes on. He looked just like his daddy. Up until that time I felt I was selfish. Having a child changed me so much for the better; still I had a long way to go.
While I was in the trenches of being a wife, mother, building a career, making a living, and trying to serve God. A bunch of things started to work inside of me. I was killing myself by to much busyness and doing my own thing. I started a five-year bible study. God began to dig deeper inside of me. He started cleaning house. You know you think you are ok. I thought I was a pretty good person until God got my attention by shining his Spirit's light on me and showing me through his word, how I needed his cleansing by the power of his blood shed. We wanted more children, but in four years I had four surgeries and lost four babies. We began to have difficulties in our marriage. What was happening to our picture perfect life? I went to a church of an employee who was working for me at the time.

A HEART TO SERVE
It was a powerful service and I felt the urgency to go forward. The spirit of the Lord descended on me. I felt his presence so strong. I was told that I had been baptized with the Holy Spirit. After that as I diligently studied the word, God took me on a wilderness experience. I began going to a spirit-filled counselor. What God did through Charles Gerber changed my life forever. God through Charlie delivered me from many strongholds (household of lies) from the devil, dropped into my thinking. The enemy was trying to steal, kill, and destroy our lives. I learned to fight like never before with God’s weapons. The “Word of God”.
This ministry is non-for-profit. I am blessed with people who partner with me in spreading the Good News of the gospel of Christ in song. These offerings aid in the expenses which occur in running a ministry and the cost of traveling. There are news letters monthly to keep you informed to what God is doing in the lives of others. Search your heart and prayerfully consider if God is calling you to give monthly to help in this important ministry.
Many need his love for a new life in him to fulfill God's purposes. As you sow you will also reap in God's Blessings.
Luke 6:38- Give and it will be given to you a good measure pressed down shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured to you.

FULL GOSPEL
We started going to a Full-Gospel church where Steven Grant was pastor, and God helped us to clean up the messes that we made of our lives one area at a time. I attended Bible College for three years. Pastor Grant challenged me musically in such a powerful way, since he was so gifted musically as well. He taught me to reside in His presence. I learned a great deal at this church. He also wrote the song “We Desire you” on the project.
After that experience, I was totally sold out to Jesus in all areas of my life, in our marriage, motherhood, in my career, in our finances, in my relationship with others and with Christ. When God starts to clean us up, it is painful, but we didn’t get there overnight, so it takes time to clean up the messes we make.
We can’t clean up on our own.
I had to come to him and surrender my life to Jesus and to my husband. Christ met me right where I was at and took me to where He wanted me to go and what He has purposed for my life in Him and my family. It is all about Him now. I have finally stepped aside and allow Him to lead. I’ve been pursuing a biblical counseling degree. My Holy Spirit experiences have been my best teacher in counseling. But I know this will be a life long process. The more experiences I have in Christ, the more I can help others to come to Him.

AGLOW INTERNATIONAL
I was asked to take a position as president of “Aglow International” in Greensburg. An interdenominational women’s ministry. Our lighthouse is one of 4,400 lighthouses in 158 nations. In March of 2004, the Lord told me in my prayer time to lay down thirty years of hairdressing. One month later a door of opportunity opened up for me to record in Nashville through one of our Aglow speakers “Dave Davis” http://www.davisranchandministeries.com/ an incredibly anointed man of God.
MUSIC MINISTRY
God is restoring what the locust has stolen. God has brought to me the songs he wants me to sing. And the message he wants to bring forth. The funny part of it is, I truly have experienced what I sing about. And it is because of my Lord Jesus Christ and the “Love of my life”, my husband Steve, my son who gave me incentive to pursue God for the next generation, my family who shaped me and nurtured and cared for me. My friends, who helped and prayed for me in my struggles. Twice Robin and Robin Bullock, who is my producer, founder of “Amber [Family] Records”, who have become our close friends in the Lord. Pastor Rob Tripp, an incredibly talented musician and awesome engineer. Laverne Trip and family and their studio “The Family Room” and the musicians, engineers, back up singers Twice Robin.
THANKS
I’m grateful to so many people who invested in my life. I want to say “Thank You”.
May God shower you all with tremendous blessings from above. May those seeds sown bring forth fruit ten-fold.
I ask the Lord to Bless each song in all the CD’s distributed and I pray that the power of the “Living God” and the anointing bestowed on me through the sound of my voice will pierce the hearts of the people who hear it, so they may be drawn to “Christ Jesus our Lord God and Savior” forevermore.
To You we give all the “Glory, Honor, and Praise” in everything I think, do, say, and sing. Amen.
Love,
Sharon Lee
