From singing to my cats as a child to belting out while moving the lawn (no one can hear you, at least i hope no one heard me!) I grew up singing all the time on my dad's farm. Ask my brother about my attempt to sing in German, he does it better than me! My mother and I moved to The Woodlands a few months after my twelth birthday. There, we found a church that I would soon call home. I received my first guitar (Ovation) for my thirteenth birthday and cried (I didn't want a guitar!). I accepted Christ that summer when the speaker, Runks, spoke on the first night at camp. With the help of Christ in my everyday life, I was able to completely turn it around completely. I went from a quiet girl to a spunky loud one that didn't care what people thought of her. Spring Break in eighth grade, I went on the first student mission trip for my church. While on the trip, I met the most amazing people who have left a lasting effect on my life! I will always remember the time in San Felipe.
After my freshmen year, summer camp was in Gulf Shores, AL, a nine hour bus ride from Houston. I never expected what happened on the long ride home. I felt God move in me, and He gave me a little glimpse of His plan for my life. I was to go back to my hometown and start a church. Neither did I expect my mom to tell me a few days later we were moving to San Antonio. It was, as my mom called it, "heart-wrenching".
I almost gave up on finding a church in San Antonio. Then, my parents found a homely church that was held in my high school. Two weeks later, I was playing my guitar for the youth group. Almost two years later, I find myself with an amazing opporitunity set before me by God, for people to hear my music.
btw, the loud clicky noices are because the CD i used to do whatever i did after recording or whatever was scratched. yeah...
Just wanna give a quick thank you to everyone whose inspired me. Most of all Jesus Christ for taking me places I would've never thought I'd go and for keeping me singing. Second, my mom for supporting me no matter what. Steve Soliz for being my mentor and my big brother. Randy for making all this possible and supporting me. And to all my friends who have been there for me and encouraged me to keep praising! I love you all!
