Its been quite some time since we've "talked," and I apologize for my absence. I've really missed you all! To be honest with you, I've kind-of taken a break for awhile. It was something that I needed to do. As I have recently found out, it's VERY easy to get caught up in the "business side" of music. I have to confess that I was so excited and so wrapped up in it all...so trying to "make things happen," that I allowed myself to forget what I was doing, why I was doing it, and Who I was doing it for. Once again, I allowed my humanity to take over and it became about me. Ugh! It's so easy to do. I was gently reminded that this isn't about me...it's about Him, and I decided to stop for awhile. Back in October I prayed for wisdom...for guidance...for God to lead me, and to show me where I need to go. It was so hard, but I handed it ALL over to Him...every last song. I gave up control. I put my family first and decided not to do anything until the first of the year. In doing so, I knew that if anything came about during my "time off," it would be of His doing, not mine...
It was also named as an "Editor's Choice" and listed as one of the "Best Reviewed Albums of 2007" in both the "Adult Contemporary/Pop/Soft Rock" & the "Folk/Country/Americana" categories. Click here to read the full list.
