Thanks and Encouragement from Romania

Posted on November 10th, 2007 in Encouragement, Music by Fred McKinnon

Hey Ya’ll -

It’s Saturday, and I’m just hanging out w/ the kids, getting ready to watch the Auburn/Georgia game. Go Dawgs.

I received this email and it was just one of those times when this kind of encouragement really “hit the spot”. I was so blessed by this short email, and I replied and asked permission to share it with my blog readers. This email came from “Joan” in Romania. She’s been voting for my piano solo, “Away In A Manger” on IndieHeaven.Com’s FanFaves charts every single day. So have many of you – because it climbs the charts every day.

“Away In A Manger” is at #13 today on the charts. If even a small percentage of the people who read this blog will try to visit the FanFaves chart and vote daily, it could potentially make it to #1. I’ve NEVER had a song at #1 on this chart!

Anyway, thanks to all of you for your support and help. It’s a huge encouragement – more than you know. Checkout this wonderful testimony and email from Joan. I love hearing back from you folks who enjoy the music. Please keep’m coming. It’s an inspiration.

Hi dear Fred!

Just 1 week before you wrote me to vote on Indiheaven. At that time, you were at the bottom of top, but now you are on the 16th. Congratulations!!! I vote everyday for you and for those who are on the 1-15 place. I maximum rate for you and I minimum vote for them ;-) I don’t know if this is fair, but I really desire to see you on top 10. God bless you for you are our blessing!
Your songs are always inspiring and heart lifting up.

We love you very much!
Keep beeing the best for the Lord!

With love,
Joan Martonfi
Arad, Romania

Thanks, Joan. You blessed my heart more than you know. I had no clue that my simple piano melodies were touching lives in Romania!

And thanks to everyone else!

Fred

    Hi Fred! Hello everyone!

    P.S.: I was laughing about “she”. Joan (Romanian) is the same with John (English). I’m a 26 years old man, husband and daddy ;-) ))))))) Love U!
