Like a new born babe stepping out of the womb

Eve of my trip to Nashville. 53 Years old. Became a Christian at the age of 26. 11 years later God the Holy Spirit, through the preaching of the word at an evening service at my church, called me to a music ministry. Told me to go ahead and write for Him, basicly.
3 Chord music man, timid performer in the vein of a Timothy, and yet with out doing anything, but post my songs on MySpace and Soundclick, Zach Vierra and Austin Cook contact me for Extreme Tour and BandWithaMission respectively. (A&R guys)
Well I had been honeing my skill on a site called ChristianSongWriter.org (seemed a lot of adds for .org) and the critiques were, "Sounds like Dylan" So my response, "You are what you eat" and "I'm not sure if that is a blessing or a curse"
Bottom line is I really do not know what that critique says anyway. I mean what does Dylan sound like, and does he sound like that to everyone.
All other critiques were about production. I argueed production is not my cup of tea but this is a "Song" writer forum.
No one really got it.
Not to toot my own horn, but one kind lady pointed out to me the real problem which even now I have a hard time digesting, but I can see how maybe she is right.
She said, "They can't say anything good about your work because they are jealous, and see how short they fall"
So here I am going to Nashville. Was turned down for Extreme Tour 2009 and rightly so I think now, though I did come close to making the cut.
I guess what I am babbling about is this is the Lord's work. This is His message. This is the way He wants to tell it. I am pretty confident that if you were to ask the NewsBoys or Steven Curtis Chapman why they are doing what they do? it is because God told them to do it, and they have that calling behind the work. Like I said, it is the Lord's work and it is His message. Like a preacher preaches because God told him to. You do not set out and say I'm going to do this, you set out in the Christian faith doing what God tells you to do. It is not a little thing if God tells you to stay at home and raise children or rise at 3 am to pick up the trash the neighbor put out to the curb. It is a big thing whatever God ask you to do!
