Note to self - * Hide all traces of Birthday Cake in June when I go to see Nicole* Although it will be two days before my birthday, I still may share some cake with her, lol.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
"I am everyday people when it comes down to it," she says thoughtfully. "We all get to do different things, but when we take everything else off—we take the titles off, we take the job descriptions off, we take the salaries away—we're all everyday people that hurt, that bleed that cry, regardless of the skin color, regardless of the title of our job." i love this quote!!!!! Oh so much..
When Iwas at one of nicole's concerts me and my friends yelled, "WE LOVE YOU NICOLE!!!" She replied with a "I love you too babies but jesus loves you more!" Thats my fav quote of nicole's!
Just when you think you can't love Nicole any deeper, You read somehwere something that just brings tears to your eyes and heart. I know she has done countless interviews, but it's the truth of her words that touch me everytime.
I have never known or read of her giving Glory to herself, not once. The work she does she points it all back to God. I love that about her.
Here's a quote but you can also read the full article by clicking the link.
quote:
"I think we're starting to. I don't think we've mastered it yet. And that's part of a thing I've always had a heart for is making sure that the music I sing, the music I write is relevant for the hurting, even those who don't know Christ. Jesus commanded us to take the Gospel into all the world. He didn't say take it into all the synagogues, all the churches -- He could have said that and we could have been playing it safe -- but He didn't; He said take it into all the world, and the synagogues and the churches are included in that but they're not exclusive to that command. And so I have felt that it's been part of a mandate of the Lord upon my life to make sure that I take it into all the world, into the uncomfortable places, into places where we're not popular, into places where people may not like us, they may stone us, they may talk bad about us. We're supposed to take the Good News, the Light of Jesus Christ there, and so I'm seeing other artists begin to do that. Hopefully, we'll do it more.
" "I love writing about reality from a Christian's point-of-view. I believe that we as believers are called to make an impact on our culture. We are compelled to do that," she said. "We as believers are called to give light to the world and we can't give light by hiding. We've got to let those around us know we are believers in Jesus Christ, so I do my best to do that in my songs."
Now you better say that Nicole.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I was in Anaheim, CA for a Women of Faith event this weekend and overheard several comments that got me thinking.
“I hope I am able to expend every bit of energy I have for the things I believe in.”
That was how one of our special guests, Nicole C. Mullen, responded to a journalist who asked her if she ever got tired of how much she traveled on top of having a family.
