Rising Star Award!

On January 20, 2016, Mikki Daniel posted an announcement regarding her win of the Cowtown Society of Western Music's Rising Star of the Year Award for 2016! Below is the photo she posted of the announcement (you can see larger versions of both pictures in this section by clicking on them).

Here is what Mikki wrote as she posted the snapshot of this announcement:

I am so honored to be considered a CSWM Rising Star of the year by the Cowtown Society of Western Music!

I can't wait to attend the Swing Fest on the 7th of May--a day of continuous celebration of Western swing and traditional music! Woohoo!

To accompany her Facebook profile picture submitted in January of this year (2016), Mikki composed this:

I was reading my Bible this morning, and I ran across this verse for the um-teenth time. Only this time it really struck a chord within my soul.

"Let no man despise [make fun of] thy youth, but instead be an example of Christ to them: in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity and in kindness."
--1st Timothy 4:12

I pray that the Lord helps me to always be "an example of the hope that is within me"! May the Lord bless your day today!

Congratulations, Mikki, and thank you for your sweet testimony!

Mikki wrote the following about Janet in her "First-Quarter" 2014 Newsletter on April 26, 2014:

Sunday [February 16, 2014], it was time for the monthly Cowtown Opry Buckaroos. It was good to see Janet McBride and all the kids again…

When we’re gone traveling, I miss getting to see and teach the kids. That day, everyone performed the song they were preparing for Cowtown Opry's fundraiser in March.
