Don't Waste What You Have

My name is Lara Miller. Music has always been a love and passion of mine. I started into piano lessons at the age of 5 and then violin shortly after. I was always on a worship team at church or part of the chorus in school and took voice lessons through high school. As a teenager, I trained in classical piano and competed at State and regional levels. I won awards and had the opportunity to pursue music professionally. All of it seemed like no big deal and I took it for granted. I didn't realize then what God had given me and that He had plans to use it. I began to focus on my life and that love slipped away. I went for many years without even touching a piano and only singing at the top of my lungs driving down the highway. I focused on my career and my family, and I forgot that music was once a very big part of my life. 

One day in 2016, I was at a very difficult place in my life and I watched a YouTube video of a little girl playing the piano like I used to and God convicted me right then and there... don't waste what you have. Don't let all the years you put into training and what I've given you go to waste. So, the next week I bought a used piano off of craigslist and the rest is history. God starting downloading songs into me and I began to sing like I hadn't in years. I took the time to train in playing chords again. I had trained mostly in classical music and I had almost forgotten how to even read notes. I started the long process of re-teaching myself to play again and I am so glad I did. I never thought that God would move me in this direction, because honestly I don't consider myself to be the greatest vocalist or piano player, and at one point I came very close to losing my vocal chords during a surgical procedure, so I have never fully gotten back my voice, but my heart is for sincere worship of my King and here I am. I have focused on my medical profession for so long and been very successful in that through the years, but now I shift my focus.

My sincere desire is to bring the place of intimacy back to God's people. So many people don't know that secret place. My heart is burdened for those that once knew God, those that don't know His true nature and those that still are yet to find Him. My heart is to see true intimacy in worship restored, without entertainment and the show that it has been made to be. My story is one that one day I will tell in full. It is one of heartache, stubbornness, rebellion, pain, success, failure, grief, loss, love and the ever loving kindness of my Savior, who has loved me through it all. You can read part of my story on my personal blog HERE>>>

God loves you! If He can love me, then I KNOW He can love anyone! My heart is for you to know Him intimately, in relationship, without religion. My heart is to be able to help bring you to the place of sincere worship, breathed upon by the Holy Spirit. I hope you will join me in His presence. 

Sincerely, ​Lara Miller
