I’ve been singing since I was a kid. Recording was something I thought about in my early adult life, but not seriously. I couldn't have imagined the unexpected opportunity God had in store for me so many years later. My comfort level was using my talents in my local church. I never really desired to step out past that. The truth was, I was afraid of doing more because I didn't believe I was good enough.

One day a family friend unexpectedly approached me to tell me that God had put it on their heart to provide the funds if I were to record an album. I was really surprised but I didn't say “Yes” at first. They were persistent though, and over the course of the next year kept reminding me that what God had put on their heart was still very strong.​​

One Sunday morning at church, the message was about how God's grace gives us the ability to do what we can't do in our own abilities or strength. I certainly didn’t feel qualified or talented enough to record an album, I didn’t even know why I should, but with tears streaming down my face, I prayed “God if you really want me to do this, I will do it.”
