Well, another week of American Idol, but I must say we were totally shocked and unprepared for last night's revelation. Melinda Doolittle voted off? There must be some mistake, uh, what happened? Well, as I thought about it later and some more this morning, several scriptures have reminded me that God always has HIS way. I believe with all my heart that Melinda is a strong Christian and was evidenced in the fact that she has never been afraid to represent Christ on or off stage. She showed it in so many ways; even Simon could not miss her humility. "You will know them by their fruits." (Matt. 7:16) Jesus said this to His disciples. I believe Melinda was known as a Christian by her fruits. She always dressed tastefully and modestly, always had a shining countenance and spoke about the Lord freely in many interviews. Melinda will be okay. Romans 8:28 reminds us that "all things work together for the good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose". Psalm 37:23 says "the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord." I really believe this is just the beginning of many good things for Melinda. We will miss her sincerity, her genuineness and her incredible voice but ultimately God has His hand on her life and will use her for His glory. Prov. 31:30 says: "Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." Blessings to you, Melinda - thank you for touching our lives!!

if you make it into the top ten on AI, then you're pretty much getting some kind or recording or development deal. period. since she didn't get the big one, she could end up with much more freedom to only do what will not conflict with her faith. :-)
great reminder from proverbs - she definitely was the leader of the pack when it comes to vocal ability, consistency and MOST importantly, character!
good post!
