I am so excited to be taking classes with MTSU's school of music this year. I am also blessed to be a part of Belle Aire Baptist Church's Alpha Omega College Ministry Praise Band. This year has been exciting as God has opened so many new doors. I'm also having such a great time writing new songs.
Thanks again for checking out this site, and also for your love, support, and encouragement. I'm excited to see where the Lord leads me! Here's to many more years of making music!

CMT update - 01.16.08
Hello friends!
I hope that you've had a wonderful start to the new year. If you've been reading my previous blogs you may remember that I had recently auditioned for CMT's show, "Can You Duet."
I would have loved to make it on the show but we did not make it. My friend Tanner and I arrived around 5:30 am and waited in line in front of the Wildhorse saloon until around 2:30pm. We had a great time waiting in ling among thousands of hopeful and talented musicians. The winners of round one would exit Wildhorse with a golden sheet of paper and we noticed that the majority of the winners were decked out, in full costume, or had a certain cooky style! Not to discredit them in any way but Tanner and I don't even really like country music so I'm glad we didn't make it on the show. It would have been fun but when you think about the duos who have actually been singing together for years and years, especially if they've traveled from outside of the state to be there, I'm so glad that we didn't take their spot.
It's all in God's hands for sure. There was one perk though; when we walked out of the audition they told us to wait in the hall for the tech guys to tell is where to go. So we followed their orders and they singled Tanner and I out to tell us that the judges hadn't been writing on anyone's audition papers all day but they did write on ours, " you were so close, keep trying!" That made us feel very special. Be sure to watch the show when it comes on CMT though, you see us in the background hootin and hollarin!

Quick to Love: God You've Created Us
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:2)
You're probably thinking, "another blog about love, I've already heard this." I hope that you're surprised.
With Christmas break allowing me to have more free time than usual, my mind has had a chance to think more thoroughly. Writing is very intimate and I love how I seek to write in such a formal way when I'm a very informal person. I promise that I'll try to incorporate a little humor to ease your reading.
I believe that love is misunderstood. I know I misunderstand love constantly. Every day I battle pride. If I understood love then I would not complain when life appears to be complicated because I know the Lord who promises His control. Love is not a friend of loneliness, but contentment, encouragement, truthfulness, life, and true joy! Currently in my life, the Lord is teaching me how to have joy, not happiness. I've been cursed with being called "too happy" and I have to admit, it is true because happiness has limitations but joy is everlasting. It's all about Christ.
- My ears will never hear enough music but hearing Christ through every chord will bring me Joy.
- I will never say, "Food, you've lost your spark, I don't like you anymore" but tasting God's goodness will bring me Joy.
- Though I've never been the aspiring athlete, I can definitely testify that the adventures of sports will never complete my steps but the adventure of Christ will bring me Joy.
- A relationship whether it be through friend, family, or marriage will never satisfy my soul but seeing and seeking Christ through those relationships will bring me Joy.
- Knowledge of theology, doctrine, history, fiction, film, and music will never fill my mind with ecstasy enough to last but the knowledge and wisdom of Christ will bring me Joy.
Concerning Corinthians however, if I really want to follow the way of love, strive for spiritual gifts and prophecy, then the things of this earth will begin to lose their luster. In the past week there have been a few times where I've lost something and God has told me, "Caroline, if you lost everything, would you still love me?" The Lord calls us to love him at all costs, I'm learning. I'm so blessed to even be able to communicate with the Lord. He doesn't always speak, we have to be willing to listen. Consider these verses and how we has humans trade what our awesome God has to offer for a lie.
I encourage you to love the Lord and know Him more than you know yourself. Life awaits you woo hoo!
In Jeremiah chapters one through three God speaks of the Israelites:
2:11 "Has a nation changed its gods, even thought they are not gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit."
2:22 "Though you wash yourself with lye and use much soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me, declares the Lord God.
3:11-14 " Return faithless Israel, declares the Lord. I will not look on you in anger for I am merciful, declares the Lord; I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt that you rebelled against the Lord your God and scattered your favors among foreigners under every green tree, and that you have not obeyed my voice; declares the Lord.

Here's a great out-take from one of our recording sessions at RCA Studio B in Nashville. Caroline was just playing around between takes and played this pretty cool little hymn medley. She's got a great ear and has learned to play heaps of old Disney songs and church hymns just by her memory of how the songs go.
So feel free to check out this medley. Click play below or download the MP3.
