    Tell us a little about yourself.  I try to slow down and get quiet. For me it’s just learning how to say no and how to be still. I’ve got people pulling on me left and right. I think it’s okay to just shut things down and take time to be alone and to be quiet and deal with God. I think if you do that, then everything else falls into place.

    What was your motivation behind this project?  I’ve just been called to do it. I’ll switch and do something else if I feel I’m called to do something else. I guess the older you get, you think, How much longer am I supposed to do this? There’s a part of me that feels like I could do it for the rest of my life. At the same time, I’ve always wanted to act. I’ve had a chance to act and be in some movies, but I’ve never felt like that’s what I was supposed to do. This year I’ve been at different functions and have had people come up and tell me “You know what? You changed my life. That song changed my life.” At times like those I think, Why would I want to do something else when people’s lives are being affected by what I’m doing?

    What do you hope folks will gain from this project?  That it will bring them closer to God. That they will lift up their hearts and their voices and sing praises to Him. I think we find that we start to get too caught up in everyday life and we forget to humble ourselves before God and remember to give thanks for all that He has done for us. I want people to listen to this cd and really break down before God, like I did. Just put it all out there...whatever it is that you are going through, know that God will take it from you and make you whole again.
