In January of this year, I became very ill after serving as a juror in county court. As safe as I thought I was being during that week (wearing masks and social distancing), I still caught that nasty Covid-19. I was sick for three weeks. It was horrible. I had to quarantine myself from my son. Then when my test results came back negative in February, I was relieved. Though I had lasting effects from the illness, including headaches and a lingering cough that took months to get rid of. Also the worst thing possible that can happen to a singer happened. I lost my singing voice! I couldn't even hum a tune. I became so depressed, especially when listening to music because I was unable to sing along. I thought that it was over for me as a performer and maybe just songwriting was my calling instead of both. I just sulked for a while. I blamed the courts for summoning me to jury duty. I mean after all, I had just served in 2016, so why on earth are they calling me back so soon? Why not summon these folks who could care less about wearing masks or being safe? They must not have an immunocompromised child to worry about like I do. Then I had to ask God to forgive me because it happened, and I need to accept His will. Yet, I was still walking around the house depressed. That is until one afternoon I was flipping through channels and came across a film entitled, "God's Not Dead" that I had never seen before. I watched and was so moved by that film. The Newboys are the cherry on top of this Sunday delight! The way they encouraged and prayed with an unbeliever at the end, then went on to perform their faith confirming smash hit, "God's Not Dead". The lyrics rang true, "God's not dead, he's surely alive and living on the inside, roaring like a lion". Amen! So why was I sitting around acting like my life was over. God is alive and with me. He still has a purpose and plan for my life. I started listening to Newsboys music nonstop! Enjoying song after song, I was inspired to write music again. I started thinking maybe I could write and pitch songs for artists like them in the Christian Rock genre. Michael Tait sounds incredible and sings with such zeal for Christ! I'm in awe of his voice. He is truly anointed and can easily be one of those singing Pastors in a Southern Baptist Church. I'd join his congregation for sure. Newsboys Rock!! From their powerful worship song, "We Believe" to other uplifting tracks like "Guilty", "Greatness of Our God" to praise dance tracks like "Magnetic", "Jesus Did" and "No Doubt". I even pretend that I'm a featured vocalist on songs "Never Too Far Away" and "Stand" lol. However, it would be a dream come true to be their opening act for a show. Even my five year old digs these guys! If I ever have the pleasure of meeting my amazing brothers in Christ, I will let them know that they are are not just a blessing but an absolute miracle to the world!! They are true soldiers for the Lord.
Oh and by the way, I got my voice back after three months. To God be the glory!! I continued to fight, fast and pray without ceasing, believing God would deliver me and He did!! I recorded a new four-track Christian pop-rock EP, "Ebby The Dreamer" of which I released via Bandcamp on April, 28, 2022. I hope this post will inspire someone who may be feeling like there's no hope. Put your faith in Jesus who is our hope and anchor in the midst of our storms. Trust in Him! He never fails! God bless you and may heaven smile upon you ❤
Here is Newsboys' latest single "King Of Kings" ft. Bart Millard
Before I share my story, please be advised - Do Not play with an ouija board. The ouija is NO Monopoly! When I was a young lady in my early twenties something very scary happened. Although I grew up in the church, it wasn't until something near fatal happened in my life that made me question my faith. So I decided to dabble in necromancy one day. I was just being curious and played with an online Ouija board while on break at work. I assumed that it would be as harmless as playing solitaire. However, what I would soon discover is that it wasn't a game. I asked questions about my life but the planchette would just roll around and point to "Yes" in response to everything I'd ask, so I figured it didn't work. So I left the website, considered it fake and never revisited. Later that evening, I showered and went to bed after a very tiresome day. I laid my head on the pillow and snuggled tightly with my blanket ready to fall fast asle...
GLOW 🌟 Glow is a song I recorded from the heart. After losing another loved one, I was reflecting on how precious life is. We don't know when our time is up, so we should try to make the most of it. We only get one chance to get it right. This emotional melodic track was produced by White Hot and I hope my words will inspire others. I'm sharing this song with everyone that I can to give encouragement to listeners everywhere. Let your light shine! There's only one you and you were meant to glow. Glow by Ebony Moore
I have loved music since I was a tot. My dad listened to all kinds of artists from multi-genres, and from his influence, I aspired to create music at an early age. I wrote my first song at the age of 10 after getting my first keyboard. The song wasn't half bad and really cute. My family still remembers it and sing it jokingly to this day. It took years for me to hone my skills. I didn't record my first professional demo till 1997 at age 21. It caught the attention of a major record label in New York, but my sound wasn't understood. They didn't know if I was trying to be pop or alternative but wanted me to be more rhythm and blues. In other words, I hadn't found my niche. Anyway, as time went on, my journey went from trying to make it in the music industry to failed opportunities and disappointments. I almost gave up on my passion of being an artist. I stopped writing songs for a while but continued to lean on God for guidance. I love rock 'n' roll music so m...
