I just wanted everyone to know that Mandisa (the singer whose song I used in my video) personally wrote me saying she loved it and it encouraged HER!! Wow! She then posted it to her official facebook page for her followers! She also told me that she's coming to Austin in February so I'm going to get to meet her!! Pretty exciting. Thanks everyone for your feedback and encouragement to me!!

I love Mandisa! And I'm so excited for you..your story is amazing!
