Faith Is Not A Sense, Nor Sight,

I'm Really An Inner Spirit That Only Makes Itself Known Through The Music. A Lot Of People Think I'm An Introvert, Or Quiet And Moody. I've Even Heard Some People Say That There's A Certain Mystery Or Darkness About Me. I'm Not That Way. I'm Just Really Into What I Do.

My Childhood Was Limited To Mostly Gospel Music. We Didn't Have, Like, A Lot Of Records In Our House, You Know. It Was Like My Grandparents Who Raised Me. They Were Pretty Old-fashioned In Their Religious Ways, So It Was Like Church, Church, Church, School, School, School.

Whether It's Your Personal Life Or Career, People Feel They Have Carte Blanche To Everything That Goes On In Your Life. I Don't Agree With That, But I Do Feel I Have To Share My Thoughts On Those Things With People Instead Of Totally Avoiding It. I Want To Put It Out There The Way I Want To Put It Out There.

I Don't Look At Myself As A Celebrity. People Recognize Me, But It's All About My Music, My Songs. It's Not Like I'm A Greater Being. I Take My Kids To School, Pick Them Up, Go To The Grocery Store. I'm A Mother, And My Kids Mean More To Me Than Even Being An Artist.

Faith Is Not A Sense, Nor Sight, Nor Reason, But Taking God At His Work.
