My name is Misty McBride and I’m married to the love of my life for almost 28 years. We met in the fifth grade and became best friends then broke up in high school due to the fact that I moved, but God had a different plan and brought us back together again and we began dating shortly after high school.
My husband and I live in a small town where we’ve been able to raise our four wonderful children. We have three handsome sons and one beautiful daughter, a handsome son in law and two beautiful daughters in law and currently are expecting our seventh grandchild.
The Lord has blessed us more than we deserve and we have walked more valleys than a person should, but the Lord has refined us and grew us through each trial and I’m eternally thankful for that.
I’m a miracle of Salvation as I wasn’t raised in a Christian home but yet was called by the Holy Spirit to surrender my heart to Him at age seventeen. It was the most amazing experience of my life and I will never forget the moment I felt the Holy Spirit wash me clean of all my sins. I strayed slightly from the Lord for a few years and at age twenty-three
I rededicated my life and I’ve never looked back.
I had never sang in front of people but in my early thirties I felt a strong calling from the Lord to sing for Him. When I finally surrendered to the call it was amazing. Not my singing LOL but the anointing that fell and still falls is an amazing feeling that I crave over and over.
I’ve been singing specials at various churches and events since then. I sang with my first live music group about seven years ago with a Church we attended for a short time. I LOVED those times of singing, but God called us away from that particular church and on to another church to do work for Him.
I’ve lead the praise and worship at church in the past and I crave the anointing that falls. I love being used as God’s vessel.
The Lord has allowed me to minister in other areas such as speaking engagements while being able to continue with the love I have for singing.
Although The Lord has recently released me of being praise n worship leader…. I’m anxiously awaiting His next assignment for me and my family.
MY DESIRE:
is to be Holy Spirit led through prayer in all things. I truly want a double portion of God’s anointing. This request is not to be selfish but to be close to God and know He’s leading each step and answering all prayers.
He is my hope in all things. He is the One I trust.
He always makes things well with my soul and I pray I can display Gods Grace at all times in my life. I pray others will be blessed by the things I share as the Lord places them on my heart.
MY WHY:
The Lord has been dealing with my heart to do this blog for the past couple of years. I have declined His leading but He kept pricking, I’ve ignored His leading but He was persistent in pursuing me. I have bargained and He out does me with each of my attempts.
So… for 2 years I’ve written down a few things. During a time only weeks ago the Lord was leading me to reach out to a friend/acquaintance and see if they’d be able to help me begin this Lord led journey. First I questioned the Lord and asked “how in the world would this person be able to help me?” The Lord said to my heart “just reach out.” For 2 days straight nonstop this is what the Lord spoke to me. I reluctantly and embarrassingly reached out and guess what….. that friend/acquaintance was most definitely able to help me so now this journey begins.
When I finally stepped out of my comfort zone and obeyed then the Lord has replaced every distraction and every negative emotion that was standing in my way and He has replaced it with an excitement that I can’t even explain. I know God is going to use this big and I feel so honored and blessed that He chose to do this through me.
MY PRAYER:
Lord, I thank You for this opportunity to be used by You and I pray for wisdom as I speak what You would have me to. Let my mind always be focused on You. Lord, it has been You that’s been pricking my heart for quite some time now to begin a blog and I am finally stepping out of my own comfort zone to obey Your leading and I pray You would go before me and prepare each heart that might read it and I ask special blessing to prosper through me what You have stirred up.
Thank you for never leaving me and for always watching over me and for having Your ears constantly open to hearing my prayers. I pray this blog always glorifies You.
In Jesus name…amen
