Shirley was raised with the love of music in her heart. At the age of nine, she started playing the piano with one finger, along with a lot of banging. Her parents Joseph & Bernice Sesler worked very hard in their profession to provide for their children, along with being saved, sanctified and filled with the holy ghost parents, keeping their four children faithfully in the house of the Lord. There were many times when my father did not want to hear a lot of noise, so he would keep the piano locked. However, when he left out for work, my mother would open up the piano and say “bang baby bang, I might get me a musician out of this”. Today, I thank God for my mother letting me bang, because a musician is what she got. For the past 20 years, I have been a director/musician over a 25-voice (male & female) choir, at the Macedonia Baptist Church. In addition, I am director/musician over a 15-voice (male) choir, at Calvary Baptist church. As a whole, I have used my gift from the Lord in many churches, and on different Christian occasions. In September 2007, the Lord allowed me to reunite with a 20 year old friendship. We were colleagues in college. Fourteen months later, the Lord has put us together as husband and wife. Today, I am proud to say that I am the wife of Rev. Kervin Herring Sr. My husband is a true man of God, and I know that because I delighted myself in the Lord, he gave me the desires of my heart. "Read Our Story" Everything that I know and have accomplished; in my life, I owe it all to God first. I take nothing for granted when it comes to God, and I cherish every blessing that he gives me. Today I am grateful to God because he continues to place new songs in my heart. Songs for healing and songs that will just get you through the day. I am so thankful for the many blessings that God has given me, but I am most thankful that he chose me to be his child, do his work, and use me as an instrument to help bring people to Christ. Who can ask for anything more? As long as I continue to follow the scripture, “Matthew 6:33 – But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”, I know that I can have life more abundantly. Today, I am committed to Christ, and I love him with all of my heart. At the same time, I love people, and I love helping people. Whatever God has for me to do, I want to do it. If it will bring someone to Christ, I want to do it. If it will deliver someone, I want to do it. If it will heal someone, I want to do it. I JUST WANT TO DO IT! |
