I'd like to meet:

Walk as He walked!Our Vision: A passion to write songs about the journey that God has taken us on in our lives. Our main topics include trusting God, purity, and our stand on not dating. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **************************Trust - "We believe that God is calling everyone to live a life that is fully surrendered to Him so that He can do His work in us and begin to show us His true purpose for our lives. We're definitely not saying 'we've mastered this concept and now it's your turn', but instead that this is a daily process and a journey that all of us will be on forever......." ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **************************Purity - "In a world that constantly bombards us with impurity and immodesty, we feel called to take a stand against what the world is telling us is acceptable. Especially in the area of clothing and modesty......." ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **************************Not Dating - "We believe that God has one perfect man already chosen for us; therefore we have no need to worry ourselves in searching for him. When the time is right we know God will bring us together. In the meantime we are not hiding in a closet avoiding all males. We are still living our lives, just without the pressure of having to have a boyfriend......." ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **************************"God is calling us as singles," adds Alyssa. "He is saying, 'Don't give your heart away to everybody else. Give it to Me.' We're using relationships as a crutch to cover up our insecurity. The reason why our generation's singles are jumping so often from person to person is because they're searching for self worth." ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************** "I think that abstinence should be a given if you are a Christian," says Lauren. "Some people look at our not-dating thing and go, 'Well, that's weird. That's extreme.' I like being extreme. We don't question what the world does often enough. And I do think that now there is a movement toward abstinence and not dating." "I want to light some fires and shake some foundations," says Alyssa Barlow, 25. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **************************"We tell people, 'You can be a rebel in a good way,'" adds sister Lauren Barlow, 21. "We can be rebels against this world. I want people to get fired up when they hear this record." ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **************************"The world is so flashy and it's always screaming at you," says oldest sister Becca Barlow, 27. "That's why it is always harder to look to God." ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **************************"Barlow Girl Purity Interview"************************************************** ************************************************************ ************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********************************************
