heyy! its been awhile, sorry...
beth here. and i just had to share my incredible story of prayer.
ok, so last saturday when we finally got to meet ethan (i am SERIOUSLY jealous of his guitar!!)
he tells me that he is going to give me his old electric guitar. amp and all. i have been praying about this soo much, you could never know.
i was just stunned into silence, but in my head all i could think was
THANK YOU JESUS FOR BEING AMAZING!!!
i was too excited to say anything.... and i still cant quite put to words the feeling i still feel.
how can God be so amazing to us, when we dont deserve it?
it amazes me, always.... :D
and musical background... christa was explaining...
i really didnt find my passion for music until i was about 7 years old and i preformed in a childrens theater group (done by one voice, for those of you who know me!!!)
after that i took off. i couldnt get enough music. i've been doing 1 voice since 2004, and i've been taking voice lessons since 2005. i started guitar summer 2006/2007ish... its kinda fuzzy..
but writing songs was something i started when i was about 12.
i didnt tell anyone, i was too afraid somebody would laugh at me if i let anyone know what i was scribbling in various notebooks in my upstairs bedroom. but after a year of pouring out my heart on paper, i really felt like God was pushing me to tell someone. that someone(s) would be zoe and christa, my future bandmates. i have to say, at first it wasnt anything great, but God worked with me through it. and now, 3 years later, i feel so much more connected to God through what he's given me. it started really as a small thing. but thats how God works, right??? :D
sorry, was that a novel i just wrote?? lol
alright, have a good sunny day friends!!!
enjoy the sun. :)

Musical Background
alrighhht im finally writing a new post. its christa here! i know i havent written in a while and i feel bad...but zoe ahs me in total wonderment. her? writing a SONG?? wow. the last song of hers that i read was....okay i wont embarrass her. but anyways, saturday is our next "big get together" yay!!!! we're meeting ethan! and i know that im excited to meet him, after all zoe's told us! and i know that beth is excited to meet his guitar. (yeah, you guessed it-its electric. and we know that beth will give ANYTHING to get her hands on one of those..) so.....its all going to be awesome. except we only have like two hours together. but whatever. we'll take what we get. but yeah, i'm extremely excited to hear zoe's new song. i mean, beth's songs are great, but im really excited to hear something different! no offense to beth or anything.
well, i guess im the only one to attack the tedious job of writing a song. huh. i have never seriously tried to write a song, because i know from past experiences that i'm terrible at poetry. its like my worst enemy. i dont know, maybe it'll be different. i know that before, though, when i tried to write songs, my faith was not well. maybe now it will be different. hey ^that could be a lyric! haha...not sure how well that'll go over. so, anyways...i thought that now would be a good time to write about our musical backgrounds.
okay, i'll start with me, i guess. well, both of my parents are very musical: my mom sings and plays piano wonderfully. my dad sings; his voice is great, he played trumpet in the army band and i think that he played flute for a while, too. he still plays trumpet. but i guess that i inherited musical ability from them. i have known music since i was little. i was in small musicals as a kid, most memorable to me the "We Like Sheep" musical, which was the first time that i met beth and zoe. although i did not become friends with either of them until i joined One Voice Ministries. my mother and i joined in the year of 2002, and zoe joined a year after. im not sure when beth joined. i was in band at school, playing the flute, since fifth grade. the middle of the year, my freshman year, i started homeschooling, so now i only get to go to band two times a week. anyways, im sidetracking. so, since 2002 i have only missed one one voice season. i also kinda know how to play piano, but definitely not as well as zoe can.
anyways, thats me. so, i will attempt to give the others' brief backgrounds. i dont really know so much about eithers' but i will try. i know that zoe started one voice in 2003 and she has a great voice. she takes piano lessons from dona lynn-the musical director for one voice and of Calvary Bible Church. zoe also has a good ear for rhythm and i think that she will do well on the drums. zoe-feel free to elaborate on that.
beth has a good voice, too and an ability to think up of songs and create chord progressions and all that good stuff. she is in one voice, and takes voice lessons from dona lynn. she is now also taking guitar lessons at Laconia High every morning. feel free to elaborate on that, beth, as well.
alright, that's all i got to say now, other than: pics are on the way! i just need to find time to finish editing them. :/

Miracles
Hey everyone, it's Zoe here, just wanted to say, that I have written a song well kind of song. I have written songs before but I really like this one. I am not sure if it will be approved by the other band members but, it is worth a shot right?
I think this is just something worth sharing, if we don't put forth an effort to have a relationship with God, he will probably only move in our lives that much. We need to stay focused on him so that he will make himself known to us and we will have more joy and reassurance in our lives. That is kind of what the song I wrote is about. From personal experience, there was a time in my life when I had completely lost sight of God and I felt alone all the time, and empty, but something has changed and I have been bettering my relationship with God and I am happier. God can work miracles and although he may do little things in our lives at one point, that doesn't mean that he won't work bigger miracles later. Always remember that and never loose hope.
Peace Out

What is the answer?
hi, its beth again!
ok, so saturday went really well and we got ALOT done!!! thats always exciting to me.
im working on a new song... and its really been a struggle for me. i've been pressing into God, trying to see what He wants me to write, and just when i felt like giving up, *ta da!!!* he placed something on my heart.
isnt it so true, that our scientists and researchers are constantly trying to figure out why we exist, why we are breathing? but how can they be so blind??? the answer is Jesus, and He is RIGHT in front of us!! but still we try to ignore Him, cover up His name and try to take His place in society.
i was so suddenly swept away. HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO OBLIVIOUS???? i just felt this wave of frustration and confusion as to why we as humans can forget the very thing that keeps us breathing. but then of course, i realized this is why i have felt called to the music ministry. we who know the truth HAVE TO SPEAK!!! we cant be afraid of what they may think, but we must use the voices God has given us.
im still working on the chords..... i called christa and tried to play it for her...... but i dont think its going to be ready for our next get2gether this saturday...
i just have to take it as it comes!! :)
but be praying for us as we continue to struggle with the ups and downs, and our needs as a band. we appreciate it!!! :D
have a great day friends!

Hey everyone, this is Zoe here. In my school today, I was asked to create a brochure and because I do not know how to work the computer very well, I didn't know how to create it, so I was searching through all the Microsoft stuff and what not and I came across and sound recorder. I had so much fun playing with it, and I was actually thinking, "how can I use this?" Next thing I know, Beth was calling me and she was saying, if only we could record the songs so that everyone could have a recording, that way we can practice when we aren't together. Then the idea of this sound recorder popped into my head. I think this is just another God thing. He puts things into our lives that we have no clue might help us later on. I just thought I should mention that because it was just a reassuring thing that we are going the right thing in God's eyes. It is always good to do what God wants us to do instead of what we want to do.

its beth here. ya, i know what your talking about zo. for those of you who dont know, im in the
'dying to own an electrinc guitar' stage right now....

especially with this whole band thing. i mean, its a little nerve racking thinking
oh yeah, i have to write a song, make it sound good, figure out the vocals, work with zo on the piano, blah blah blah....
and we lose the sense of, riiiiiiight, this is for God's glory.
we NEED his blessing of peace to fill us and keep us going straight!!!
Isaiah 26:3-4 says:
"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord is everlasting strength."
basically, its the message i hope to be sending in our new song Free Fall.
ya, maybe someday we can actually get some kind of music for our webpage.... :)
but for now, its still awesome.
im just about to go take a Math test..... oh the joy....
I THINK I NEED SOME OF THE PEACE I WAS TALKIN ABOUT!!!!! :D
yeah. anybody else reeeeallly not like math???

Drums
Guess what, I called Kristen Brown tonight to ask her about drums and stuff, and she said she didn't know anyone who was selling drums but she said she would do some research, and once winter is over she is willing to schedule a time for me to take a "lesson" but she really was just going to show me a few pointers.
My parents said that I need to get a job and they are willing to put $200 towards the drums but thats it. So I REALLY need to get a job and start saving for some drums. Maybe we can figure out a way to get some extra money before the summer just to get a head start. Well I am going to bed, so I will talk tomorrow.
Peace Out.

got a new computer so the keys are really fun to type
on. A little dorky I know, but you will find out I
am beyond dorky. Just a little background on me,
I am usually really shy in front of people I don't know
but once you get to know me, you're like, who is this
crazy girl anyways. well maybe thats a little dramatic
but thats ok, o know Beth is rubbing of on me. jk girl.
anyway, I love to camp and be outside. My favorite camp
is Camp Goodnews doing the Wilderness part. It is sooooo
much fun, if your into that, you should check it. I have
tried to get Christa to go but she isn't really into that, anyways
I just got back from my piano lesson, I had to stop in the middle
of writing this post to go, but we are going to eat dinner soon, so I
have to really go.
Peace out

Heyy!! It's beth, the super amazing guitarist from Destination: Paradise (lol, jk).
just got back from guitar....and really, im NOT a rockstar or anything, but literally everyone in my class thinks im a guitar expert. oh well.... :)
i've been really focusing on Romans 8:39, which says, "neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
and how many times do we in our Christian walk feel like we've been neglected or forgotten? its a great verse, thats all i have to say!!!
so i've finished a new song.... titled "Free Fall" or "Free Falling".... we'll get to the official name prolly on saturday

our next big practice and prayer time, i cannot wait :)
i cant list all the lyrics now, but i can give you the chorus...
It's like I'm free fallin'
It's a crazy ride, hold on tight
I hear you calling
And I'll answer, thank you Jesus
I'm filled with His love
Everything's in place
It's like I'm free fallin'
Since I took a leap of faith
Well, I g2g read this school book called "Darkness at Noon" its reaaaaallly not my kinda book. All political and dry...
ugh.
well anyway, you gotta love yummy books like that!! :p
hope you're all having a good day friends!!! <3
luvs, beth xoxoxo
christa here...
well, blog is created!
this is the unofficial blog for our band Destination: Paradise.
the band started as nothing more than a dream about two years ago when three girls decided they wanted to use their talent of voice in some way..
our small band consists of three (possibly four) people.
there's me, christa, titled lead singer. and possible bassist in the future. but just lead singer for now.
there's beth: song writer, lead guitarist, high harmony.
there's zoe: pianist, low harmony, future percussionist. when we get enough money to get drums.
and there's recently-asked "helper" for now, ethan. zoe's friend.
beth and i, however, have yet to meet him.
our band only recently became something a bit more than a dream. we actually feel like this is going somewhere.
we feel that we have definitely improved in our singing ability, and beth in playing guitar, as she is now taking lessons at Laconia High School every morning (?) i am sure she'll correct me if im wrong...zoe has improved drastically in her piano playing, and i have nothing major to count for, besides my voice. beth has asked the worship leader at her church if they would help us with some songs once we have created enough to show for. i am told that they have an amazing drummer, so that should help zoe and with our tempo. and keeping together and all that. we've been totally psyched about this whole band thing because for the first time since we've been trying to make this work we feel that things are really coming together and we feel like we can actually take this to a whole new level of excitement and hopefully, eventually, if we are called to do so, be able to perform and record. but that's a ways down the road.
it took us a while to settle on a name. we had brainstormed a ton of different ideas for names and this was the one that jumped out at me the most. i just thought it sounded really cool and it does actually have meaning. we, as Christians have a destination to paradise. that paradise that God made for us is His kingdom in Heaven. Destination: Paradise. other names that we had considered were 3bygrace, Colorless Flame, A Chord of 3, among others. but, just today, we concluded that Destination: Paradise would most likely be the name.
so, we have leanrned many things already in this journey so far, and are sure to learn many, many more. but one thing we have to always keep in mind is to trust God and that he is leading us on the right path.
we only have two songs as of yet: Here and Now and Freefall(ing)
well, i think that's pretty much it for now. we hope to post some pics soon...
well, blog is created!
this is the unofficial blog for our band Destination: Paradise.
the band started as nothing more than a dream about two years ago when three girls decided they wanted to use their talent of voice in some way..
our small band consists of three (possibly four) people.
there's me, christa, titled lead singer. and possible bassist in the future. but just lead singer for now.
there's beth: song writer, lead guitarist, high harmony.
there's zoe: pianist, low harmony, future percussionist. when we get enough money to get drums.
and there's recently-asked "helper" for now, ethan. zoe's friend.
beth and i, however, have yet to meet him.
our band only recently became something a bit more than a dream. we actually feel like this is going somewhere.
we feel that we have definitely improved in our singing ability, and beth in playing guitar, as she is now taking lessons at Laconia High School every morning (?) i am sure she'll correct me if im wrong...zoe has improved drastically in her piano playing, and i have nothing major to count for, besides my voice. beth has asked the worship leader at her church if they would help us with some songs once we have created enough to show for. i am told that they have an amazing drummer, so that should help zoe and with our tempo. and keeping together and all that. we've been totally psyched about this whole band thing because for the first time since we've been trying to make this work we feel that things are really coming together and we feel like we can actually take this to a whole new level of excitement and hopefully, eventually, if we are called to do so, be able to perform and record. but that's a ways down the road.
it took us a while to settle on a name. we had brainstormed a ton of different ideas for names and this was the one that jumped out at me the most. i just thought it sounded really cool and it does actually have meaning. we, as Christians have a destination to paradise. that paradise that God made for us is His kingdom in Heaven. Destination: Paradise. other names that we had considered were 3bygrace, Colorless Flame, A Chord of 3, among others. but, just today, we concluded that Destination: Paradise would most likely be the name.
