About

Welcome!  My name is Johanna, and I am a Christian, homeschool graduate. My desire is to give God all the glory through this blog, so that whatever I post will point others to Him.

When trying to think of a name for my blog, I went through several options, but finally decided on this one: 'Sing a New Song'. This comes from Psalm 40:2-3. "He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth--Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, and will trust in the LORD."

I am the eldest of four children - two boys, and two girls. I am so grateful to my parents for bringing me up in a God-fearing family, and teaching me how to follow Jesus, not only by their words, but also by example.

In my free time, I dabble in photography and am trying to learn the art of cooking. I love to play the piano - classical, contemporary, hymns, and some ragtime. My family and I also love to sing together, and some of us are involved with our church bell choir.

I am...

• A struggling sinner, only able to stand in God’s presence because of His great love and mercy
• A beloved daughter of her heavenly Father, striving to honor God with her life
• A servant of the Most High God, willing to give Him my all, if He will give me the strength to do so
• A daughter working to honor and revere her parents as God desires, often failing in the process, and needing His strength to carry on
• A sister endeavoring to be a godly influence and helpmeet to her brothers and sister

• A young woman learning that worshipping her Messiah is a lifestyle, not just a performance or occasion
• A Christ-follower, seeking to obey my Lord with joy and perseverance

Although it's a daily battle that I don't always win, my utmost desire is to conform more and more to my Lord and Savior, being transformed into the person He has created me to be. I thank God for Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
