Elizabeth Ann Smith - Recording Artist and Songwriter Receive From Me - Publisher
My name is Elizabeth Ann Smith. Over the years I've been a recording artist, songwriter, author, publisher, ordained minister, missionary, singer, flutist, and pianist. Yet at this season of life, those titles matter far less to me than knowing and loving the Lord Jesus Christ. What matters most is eternity and growing closer to Him each day.
Everything on this website was born out of that relationship. My greatest reward has never been accomplishments or recognition, but receiving His presence and intimacy. Having more of Him, and He having more of me, remains my heart's desire.
My husband Leonard and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains near Bull Shoals Lake. We are blessed with four sons, seventeen grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. In retirement, we continue serving faithfully in our local church, where Leonard preaches and I serve primarily as a flutist on the worship team.
Life has not been without trials. Chronic pain, afflictions, and spiritual battles have all played their part in our journey. Yet through every season, God has proven Himself faithful. The troubles of this life grow small when compared to the glory that awaits those who love Him.
I want visitors to know that I am simply an ordinary woman who has experienced the extraordinary goodness of God. If there is anything worth boasting about, it is knowing Him and witnessing His faithfulness. The songs, books, and teachings you find here are not about me. They are about Christ, His truth, His love, and His desire to draw people closer to Himself.
If my music, books, or ministry encourage you in your walk with the Lord, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting, and may God richly bless you as you seek Him.
Love,
Elizabeth
