Good day friends:

It's been a long time since I've had the opportunity to sit down and write!! I've been unpacking bags that have been sitting since the recording...I know, horrible!! But when I arrived back in Charlotte...I was simply TIRED!! Outside of the responsibilites of planning and executing the recording, there are people that God has entrusted me to lead and cover in prayer, then there's personal life stuff, and plans for the future...(phase two and three of the recording process)...just alot...and I think I was physically tired but moreso, mentally drained!! Excited...but needing a breather...so this week has been a moment to regroup!! I'm so excited about attending my church tomorrow...hearing what God has to say through my pastor and being led in worship...YAY!!

Thank you to each of you for your prayers, encouraging emails, and comments. I am soo grateful. It still kind of trips me out that some of you follow and support the ministry the way that you do. I'm just a regular girl with a HUGE heart for God and His people. So thank you.  In the weeks to come I plan to do some video blogs to share pieces of the journey with you that I think will really encourage you to "BELIEVE"...I know that you're going to be blessed. It was not easy...and many times along the way I wanted to quit, reschedule and/or cancel it altogether. It felt like my faith was "bi-polar"...thank God that the "highs" kept winning! LOL God is faithful...

Just wanted to reach out and say thank you!! Special thanks to the best team on this side: SJM Staff and volunteers (even the staff folks are volunteers...thank the Lord for REAL friends), the Word and Worship BAND (mad love to each of you for the GREAT seed you guys have sown without complaining...but responding with great faith...) I know some of the days were long...but you guys are MY HEROS!! Your work ethic is always above the bar....I LOVE IT!!! , YPJ (thanks for believing in this vision and saying  yes to God!!) and giving your ALL...haven't met a producer with your heart YET!!! Soon, the world will know...beyond OMG OMG....trust!!! Micki, thanks for sharing your gift with us...we are better for it!! Can't wait for more road experiences with you chic!! Marolda Cameron, your tears always move me...your support always humbles me...you are my friend and a great example! I wanna be like you when I grow up! Chad Chambers, there's not enough space...THANK YOU!! I know the LORD hears and answers your prayers!! Thank you for pushing me even when you didnt know that you were!!! Eva J...when you're on the wall the devil wets his pants...LOL THANK YOU for giving so tirelessly. To the Houston Dream Team: Daph, Court, Terry...I'm just grateful to know you!! Ha.  Carmen...ooooweeee...so glad we are connected...who would have thought one prayer would lead to  genuine friendship! Jamil and Lanre (thanks for being there...it meant the world to me!!)

To you...the folks who always read my blogs...and have purchased CDs, attended events....THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing the CD with friends and family...thanks for asking me "when are you going to do this again???" You're always with me.

I love you more than you know..

I Believe...
