Jesus... the most creative mind we will ever know. They gave him a manger for a cradle, a carpenter's bench for a pulpit, thorns for a crown, and a cross for a throne. He took them and made them the very glory of his career. ~W.E. Orchard

John 4:35 ...I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

Being "silent and still" has never been a strong point for me... especially when facing a spiritual challenge. Such is the case with the inspiration for this song. I was right in the middle of a difficult situation that left me asking questions such as, "How much longer Lord?"... "Do you see what's happening?"... "When will it let up?" I'm so grateful that my Savior never grew weary of hearing the cries of my heart, and that He beautifully revealed peace in the midst of pain.
During this "teachable moment" of my life (I seem to require many of those, by the way), He gently guided me to scripture that spoke not just to my circumstances, but to my attitude regarding them. As you can guess, the underlying theme was to "wait." As if that was not challenging enough, I was to wait with hope and expectation. He had no intention of removing the situation, but He did have a desire to make something beautiful out of it. I held on tightly to His words and actually believed them. I began to praise Him in spite of the challenges.
One afternoon I began praying and journaling about my situation and my newfound confidence that God was working in and through it, and the words and melody to "Wait For You" came to life. It was such a sweet, tender moment. He was my peace, my hope, and my song no matter what was going on in my life. I remember feeling overwhelmed that He would give me... someone who begrudgingly listened to his voice... someone who wrestled with obedience... a song of hope and encouragement about the very thing that was pressing in on me. I am reminded of a quote by Pastor Ben Patterson that puts everything into perspective... "The success of our waiting lies not in who we are, but in who God is. It is not our strength that will pull us through to the end, it is God's amazing love and mercy."
Psalm 5:3 'In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation."
James 5:7-11 "Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy."
May my compassionate Savior turn your sorrow into song! WAIT ON HIM!!!!!!!

My husband Tim and I have the amazing privilege to lead worship at Harvest Fellowship Community Church in San Antonio, TX. Every member of "From the Fields" is actively involved in our ministry... we are in awe of their talent and humility. None of us are sure why God is opening this new door of opportunity for us or where this may lead. We are just having a blast getting to spend time together in worship as we are recording this project. This is not something that any of us pursued it is only Gods grace and blessing that have been demonstrated to us, so we are striving to be obedient to whatever purpose He has for this new ministry and project. Hes placed a new field before us to work to further His kingdom and bring Him glory that will always remain our purpose.
A Little About the Band (*bios were written by each member):
Tim Dishongh (vocals, keys, arranging):
Tim has been in full-time ministry since the age of eighteen. He has a Bachelors and two Masters degrees in music and ministry. He is a skilled pianist and vocalist. He has been involved in everything from singing jingles on the radio to coaching nation-wide vocal seminars, but his dearest passion is leading worship. Nothing pleases him more than seeing others worship the one true God in pure abandonment. Tim and his wife, Kathy serve at Harvest Fellowship Community Church in San Antonio, Texas. They have been married for seven years and have the most amazing two year old son, Jacob. On a side note, their name Dishongh (French) actually means From the Fields God is so awesome
Kathy Dishongh (vocals, songwriting):
Kathy is honored to serve alongside her incredible husband, Tim in ministry at Harvest. The two of them met at Baylor University while pursuing degrees in music. Although she has always been involved in music, this new endeavor of songwriting has completely taken her by surprise. Undoubtedly this is Gods hand moving, and she finds that this process of songwriting has caused her to be more vulnerable and broken before the Lord than ever. She adores her boys (husband Tim and son Jacob) and nothing brings her greater joy than worshipping together as a family. Kathy is also a certified chef, and she is convinced thats the REAL REASON everyone wants to be in the band free food during rehearsals!!!!!
Steven Garcia (guitar, bgvs, arranging):
Steven has been writing and composing music for over 15 years and has recently released 2 Christian children's albums, Hi Dee Hi and Wake Up. Steven, who is self-taught on acoustic and electric guitar, keyboards, and drums, is currently working on an adult worship album and also his 3rd Children's album due for release this fall. He is the associate worship leader at Harvest Fellowship Community Church and the Music and Movement Teacher for the Harvest Preschool. He loves to bring people just as they are into a real worship experience with God. Steven has been married to his wife, Lauren (most awesome girl ever!) for over 6 years and has a 5 year old prodigy son, Benjamin.
John Tresnak (electric guitar):
John taught himself guitar, starting at fifteen, by playing along with the radio. He always wanted to be in a band, so during his senior year, he jumped on the opportunity to play bass in a ska band. Around the same time, John started attending a local youth group at Harvest Fellowship Community Church. Quote from John: Although I didn't know God, or ever attended church I felt Godcalling me there. I experienced a peace and meaning that was lacking in my life, even in music. After two months of Wednesday night youth I gave my life to Christ, and that same night the Worship leader, needing a bassist asked me to play. Two weeks later I was on the Worship team, and I began to experience God's presence even when I left church. After a year, I had been writing songs on guitar and felt called to start a band. I played in Kubrick for three years, where we wrote completely original music, and I learned a lot about being a musician and songwriting. However, God closed the door over a year ago and opened up one with the Harvest Praise Team and From The Fields.I look forward to God's perfect plan for From the Fields,and the experiences ahead.
Larry Norman (bass guitar):
Larry has played bass guitar since he was 16 years old he started playing in a high school garage band with some friends. There have been many of periods in his life where he didn't played at all. God was teaching him several things during those quiet times. He started playing in ministry about 4 years ago, about the same time that Tim and Kathy came to Harvest. Larry re-dedicated his life to the Lord around that time. He was saved when he was 8 years old, but during his 20's and 30's drifted away from God and pursued his own interests. He is grateful that God never lost hope for him.
Ben Solomon (drums, percussion):
Originally from west Texas (Permian Basin area), much of Bens musical influence is from good ol' 70s, 80s, and 90s rock and roll. As a percussionist, he had formal training through drum corpse and marching band on all percussive instruments. (Much of what Ben knows he owe to his high school band teachers.) He consider drumming a whole separate ministry from everything else he does, and he actively plays with 4 or 5 different ministry groups weekly. Along with drums, Ben plays keys and even writes songs. He is a "prodigal son" Christian, and he knows that his purpose is ministry in music. Quote from Ben: I know God has a plan to use me in a big way, and I can't wait to see what it is.
Khalilah Stonum (bgvs, songwriting):
Khalilah was born in Galveston, TX. and grew up in a little town named Hitchcock most of her childhood. She started singing when she was three with her mother as her accompanist. Khalilah has always been a member of the choir at church but it wasn't until Aug. 1999 at U of H that she became a member of a gospel group called Good News Gospel Choir. She sang with them for 3 years and had a whirlwind experience with traveling and performing at different concerts. It was definitely a growing experience for her. Music & poetry have always been a part of Khalilahs life, but she didn't start writing songs until she was 19. She recorded her first song on a CD called IN SPIRIT & TRUTH, which was sponsored by the Baptist Student Union at the University of Houston. She moved back to SA in 2002 and in Sept. 2002 joined the Praise Team at Harvest Fellowship Community Church. In 2005, she and Kathy decided that they had the same passion for writing and Kathy decided to allow her to look at some of her songs. They started off at Kathys piano together and now they are here waiting to see how God will move and bless.

he actually auditioned for us... also my wife used to work at the preschool at harvest and he would come and sing songs to the kids... talented guy...
Thanks for the kind words and I do hope we'll be seeing you all soon. Lots of prayers and blessings to you guys as you start your ministry.
For others who may read this testimonial, I encourage you to check out the music and mission of From the Fields. You will be hard-pressed to find a group of people more devoted to the message of Jesus Christ and more dedicated to God's calling. They are the real deal!
