I feel lucky to have been able to make music, and am thankful to have just been released from my record deal after asking out because of needing a change for awhile. Fighting for what I believe, not being on the road constantly, and being at home in the freedom to dream has given me back my sense of self. I remain passionate about connecting with people, about making art that is creative, relevant, vulnerable, inclusive and hopeful...no matter what my profession may be.

It's a funny thing how God intrinsically weaves different desires in your heart, how they grow or wither over time. In trying to follow what God had for me, those desires [for music] began to grow.

It wasn't just that I loved singing. It was that I loved people. I loved how God allowed me to be used in people's lives, to be a vessel of His delight in them, in us. That part doesn't have anything to do with me. I knew I could sing, but a lot of people can sing.

It's not what you do, it's who you are. God gives each of us certain gifts to use for His glory, and I'm just thankful that I get to be a vessel for his love at this season in my life. At the end of the day, though, what matters most is that I'm a child of God.

About her husband: "Nate leads by serving, which is a rare quality in men these days. He still opens every single door, pulls out every single chair. He's just a wonderfully old-fashioned, yet very culturally relevant, intelligent, winsome man."
