i've been hooked ever since. songs like, "He's always been faithful," "maybe there's a loving God," "when it was over," "when the saints" and my absolute fave "loving a person" have been echoes of my own heart so many times over the years.

she's the kind of woman who is beautiful inside and out. how do I know? listen to her music. she's more raw and true to herself in her albums than i have ever experienced before... ever.
oh yeah, AND she chose to go with a Fair Trade Music Label on her latest album, "invisible empires."
basically, she's my musical role model because she sings about real issues, she's not hypocritical, and she challenges her listeners because of her thoughtful lyrics and unique musical expression. she purposes to write songs specifically about the causes that IJM (international justice mission) work for to partner with them in work to end injustice around the world. how much better can a musician use their gifts to contribute to seeing the kingdom come, "on earth as it is in heaven"... and that's not even through the physical, tangible work she does when she literally goes with relief teams to various parts of the US and the world to get up close and personal with the sad realities of brokenness.
check her out! you won't be disappointed. :)
