You both spoke volumes into my heart. As a current Mercy girl you have touched my heart in SO many ways. Every time I see you speak and sing I end up bawling. You are an inspiration to all!!!! I love that you are so honest and raw and you don't pretend like life is all that...like when you had to change your baby girls diaper in the sink at the church in Shreveport..that is so HUMAN!!!! Love your ministry and pray you will keep building the kingdom!!!! YOU ROCK!!! Esther Natalie,

I have a few close friends including my husband who is my best friend and soulmate! I am guessing your non-christian friends know you sing...well if your ever singing at your church..invite them and tell them your singing and you would love to have them there and I would just pray God would use the words of your songs and your pastors message to melt their hearts and prepare them for them to see they need a savior! Your amazing natalie..just being you is probably a great light of Jesus for them! I pray everyday that God would help me be a reflection of Him and not me, in all I do, say and think! I definitely helps me! Love, april i am a very bubbly outgoing people person on the outside but very few people know me VERY close.

I'm glad you are blogging. Hmm... I have a lot of "friends" but only a few close ones. Lately it's been difficult to even have close friends though. I recently started counseling for depression and suicidal thoughts. They also put me on anti-depressants. Sometimes I feel like a bad Christian for feeling the way I do, but I have hope that someday it will get better. Anyways... so yeah, its been hard for me to have any really close friends lately. I feel like no one understands me, but thats okay. I hope you have a great day! < Ali Hey Natalie… I’m glad you are blogging. Hmm… I have a lot of “friends” but only a few close ones.
