Growing up, I dreamed of being the next Amy Grant. I sang in church every chance I got. I sang in high school. I sang in college. And I still sing now. When I was little I always thought I’d end up being a big music star and winning lots of awards.
While I’ve never been nominated for a Dove Award, I’m thrilled to announce that thanks to my friends at Family Christian, I’m heading to the 2015 GMA Dove Awards.
The GMA Dove Awards celebrate outstanding achievements and excellence in Christian music. I’m so excited to be there to celebrate with them.
I love Christian music and the encouragement it brings to me personally as well as to my family. I love listening to my kids sing songs that honor God.
The 2015 Dove Awards are being hosted by Erica Campbell of Mary-Mary fame and Sadie Robertson from Duck Dynasty.
There are so many amazing acts that are performing. Here are some of my favorites:
There will be lots of other great performances at well and you can find out more on the Dove Awards website. Also, be sure to check the website early next year. This year they had a VIP opportunity and people who purchased the VIP tickets will be singing with Casting Crowns!!! Can you imagine? I think that would be so awesome to be part of the choir backing Casting Crowns!
Make sure to follow me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook as I’ll be sharing that night! I may even do a Periscope video or two. You can find me on Periscope by searching for LisaJoyThompson 🙂
Lisa, this is so exciting! I know you’re going to love it. When is the Dove Awards? I’ll have to watch it–sounds like a great line up 🙂 Have a blast for all of us!
Thanks Sarah! I’m so excited to be going! It’s tomorrow night (Tuesday, October 13th). Make sure to follow me on social media because I’ll be sharing pictures and updates!
Hi Lisa,
How wonderful that you can do something that was always on your bucket list!!! Enjoy!!!
How exciting! Wish I was sitting next to you at the show! Did you sing along to Amy Grant cassettes when you were younger? I did! Can’t wait to hear about your time at the Dove awards!
Wow! What a cool opportunity! Have a great time and take lots of pictures!
So cool! What a treat. Have fun Lisa!
How fun! I’m sooo jealous! I want Family Christian to send me to the Dove Awards.
