When I started this MySpace page I vowed that I wouldn't get caught up in the hype. Christ is the center of my life. I do this for His glory- NO GIMMICKS. My prayer is that the music would touch you and that my testimony will encourage you.
Love Lifted Me is the title track to my debut album. Originally a traditional song straight out of the hymnal, it spoke to me. The title is self explanatory and the lyrics echo my sentiments as it pertains to my life.
Myself and family were homeless for about five years. Our home for two of the five years was an abandoned building. No heat. No hot water. No plumbing. We'd fill a bucket to flush the toilet. The apartment was so cold we'd blow smoke in the winter. My parents had split up by then and I realized that the devil was trying to destroy us. By this time I had a brother encarcerated for a crime he didn't commit and a sister addicted to crack- cocaine (we had her four children). Eventually we were forced to leave the apartment. We would walk the street by day, and stay in a hotel by night. It came to a point where we couldn't afford the hotel. I realized this would be the first night we'd spend in the car....on the street. I remember getting out of the car, I was crying. I reminded the Lord of the scripture that says, "He wouldn't allow us to be tried beyond what we could bare, but even in the midst of the trial, He'd make a way of escape". God is faithful! He can't go back on His word. That same night, the Lord granted us favor with a woman that had been abandoned by her mother as a child. She really gravitated to the children. She allowed us to stay with her. We purchased our first home the following year. Someone volunteered to make the down payment....$10,000! My sister that was addicted to crack has been clean for 9 years now. I'm so proud of you Lundie... The scripture says even when we're tried by fire, we'll come out as pure gold. I could never take the glory for where my life is today. When nothing else could help me, His love lifted me. God Bless You...
