About Me:
I gave my life to the Lord about 2 months before "Starlight Express" closed on Broadway and needless to say, it changed my life.
A few days after Starlight Express closed I was asked by a friend of mine, director and choreographer George Faison, to sing in a show featuring myself, Lillias White, Adriane Lenox, and a few others. It was great working with all of them and I had worked with George before. During rehearsals and the actual performance, I felt out of place and uncomfortable, not because of anything or anyone in the show, but I did not understand why I was feeling that way and just talked to the Lord about it in prayer. After that show I was asked by composer and writer, Jeff Langley, to sing at Carnegie Hall for a special performance. The show was with some of the biggest stars and I felt confident and excited about singing and performing with them. We rehearsed at Leonard Bernsteins apartment in the famous Dakota on 72nd street in Manhattan. I was acting like it was normal for me to be in Mr. Bernsteins apartment but inside I was thrilled. I did the show at Carnegie Hall and this time I felt even more uncomfortable and asked the Lord about how I was feeling. After much prayer and seeking the Lord I felt certain that God was taking me in another direction, not that God asked me to stop singing.......no........just in a different direction than I was going. I did not understand it all but wanted to obey God even though many people didn't understand and thought I was crazy. I came out of Show Business after Carnegie Hall, about 2 months after "Starlight Express" closed on Broadway. I have had several, tempting opportunities to go back on Broadway but I know in my heart that the Lord has me exactly where I should be. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with being in Show Business or that God takes everyone out of Show Business.....no.....He is a personal Savior and that is what He wanted for "Me." To this day, many people don't understand why I gave up a successful career in show business and that's ok. What I gave up does not even compare to knowing and having a relationship with Jesus. I can truly with all of my heart lift up my hands and give praise to Him. I know what it's like now to lift up my voice in song and praise, thanking Him for what He has done in my life. He is such an awesome God.
I have been serving the Lord for almost 25 years and although there have been many trials, the Lord has always been so faithful. The love and satisfaction that I was looking for in my career and relationships was found only in my knowing Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I had no idea that I could have such a close, personal relationship with Jesus. He is the only One who can satisfy our soul. I love Him so much. In that time I met my wife and have been married for almost 19 years and have 2 beautiful children. My 18 year old daughter wants to perform on Broadway.....she is awesome and sings like an angel. I have no doubt that if God allows it, she will be very successful on Broadway. I trust the Lord with her as well as my 15 year old son who plays Basketball like Steve Nash.................love you buddy. I am so very proud to have you as my son. You are so talented and handsome (smile).......God has wonderful things planned for you and your sister.
To my wife: I have never, ever known this kind of love....being in love with you sweetheart. The Lord birthed in me such a love for you in my heart. You are beautiful inside and out. I love you more than words can say.
God has been so good and I will forever praise Him for His grace and His mercy in my life.
God bless you,
Greg
