I'm a happily married mom of 3 who is in love with family, music, and in love with the Lord. I am a worship leader and play on an awesome team at my church. I also love to write my own songs. I dont have a studio or anything to record in, just a guitar, my vocals, and an iPhone app.. so there will be some mess ups and it wont sound like a million bucks, but i hope you enjoy the listen anyways! and thanks for anyone who does follow/listen!
