years waiting my-time
I have spent probably years of time waiting in studio lounges - waiting on a mix, waiting on my time to sing, waiting on, waiting on, waiting on. That's just the nature of life.
way god-heals timetables
There is not a formula for the way that God heals. There's not a timetable.
years found passage-of-time
I've found that music allows years to fold like an accordion over each other, so I guess you don't feel the passage of time as much.
hard-times ideas life-is-hard
Anybody who's ever gone through a hard time - any outsider's perception, no matter how much information they're given, they have no idea what the person's life is like.
enjoy experience great hands life miss plays says somebody time turn wish
What a great thing to wish for, your life plays out in a way, that you miss something that's so important to you, and somebody says what would you like, or if I could wish I would turn back the hands of time and go back and enjoy this experience that I missed.
apart celebrate christmas faith friendship gift holiness love night quiet sing time tree
Faith is salted and peppered through everything at Christmas. And I love at least one night by the Christmas tree to sing and feel the quiet holiness of that time that's set apart to celebrate love, friendship, and God's gift of the Christ child.
aim asked bring captured charity everybody heart life nancy people richer time
AIM has been important to Nancy for a long time. Nancy has been asked to do a lot of charity things, and I thought, 'If this has captured her heart for 25 years, that is pretty important.' Any time you can bring people together, especially in the life of a child, everybody is richer for it.
baghdad cameras eight emotional families front helped loved military moved nobody row san satellite seated though using
We did a show in San Antonio that was really amazing. The military helped us do a satellite to Baghdad where during intermission we had eight families seated in the front row and one by one they were able to communicate with their loved ones using the cameras to see each other. It was so emotional and nobody moved even though it was the intermission.
expected happen help invited learning lessons people powerful situations
To be invited into these powerful situations is life-changing. I don't know what I expected to happen on this show, but the lessons we are learning as we help these people have just surpassed anything I could have imagined.
choices not-good-enough arena
I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.
song jesus couple
But to make a holiday record that involves favorite American songs and then also get to sing about Jesus birth, it just seemed like a real easy, subtle way to combine a couple of things that I love.
mom good-friend months
Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.
eye talking looks
I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.
song writing thinking
I don't write songs that don't affect me on some level, because I figure if I am not moved by it, if its not something that I have a longing to celebrate or to be reminded of, if it doesn't affect me, then how can I possibly think it is going to affect somebody else. My touchstone is write something that matters.
