Fly Away

I’m a panicked flier. But I totally conquered a fear by going up in a hot air balloon. Yep. I’m so brave. Ok, not really. But I was proud of myself! and it was totally gorgeous. The Albuquerque sunrise was amazing.

    Hi Natalie!
    I did that in Sedona. One of the coolest experience of my life. And we were really in a big basket! That just makes me laugh. Way to go after your fear.

    So pretty. I would have to hold on to somebody too. I’m not a fan of flying either, but would do it for the sake of the call to be with my hubby and for the experience. Way to be bwave.

    It looks really beautiful!! :) My whole family went on a hot air balloon ride over the Australian outback, they loved it too..but I was too scared to go. I really like being on the ground, I can’t even go on balconies without getting nervous. :(

    That’s beautiful! I don’t like heights so I am not sure I’d want to go in a hot air balloon. I won’t even go on roller coasters or ferris wheels.

    I bet it was just an amazing experience.

    Natalie, it was so fun meeting all of you. The flying that morning was great and I know that Dean loved having you in his balloon. Anytime you all are in Albuquerque just give us a buzz. Maybe next time we can get your feet wet in the Rio Grande.

    Addie and John Daniel too.

    Thank you for coming to ABQ! I was blown away by your performance…especially “It is well with my soul.” You are such a firecracker…witty and gifted! I would have loved to talk with you as I am part of a group starting a 501c3 dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by human trafficking. Thank you for your work on behalf of the oppressed!

  • Molly B

    We saw you in Albuquerque and I cannot tell you how much your performance and your words meant to me, my son and my husband! Your voice is magical and your wisdom is remarkable! Thank you so much for sharing that with us! We went home and the next night were talking over dinner about your words and your passion for God and how contagious it was. What a ministry you have and thank you!!!

  • Karen B

    Hi Natalie!
    Saw you in concert in Albuquerque. Loved your spirit! I loved how your song “It Is Well With My Soul” pulled a Lord’s victory from what was trying to defeat you when your computer froze up. You go girl! You’ve GOT to record that song in the future for my husband. It is his all time favorite and you did it awesome good! He was SO disappointed when he didn’t find it on any of your CDs on your table :-(

    thanks for the show in Albuquerque- awesome performance- you all should come back the first week of October for the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta- there are about 600 balloons up in the air at one time- absolutely gorgeous to experience!

  • Al Crosby

    Natalie, my wife, three daughters, and a handful of friends were at your show in Montgomery tonight and we all agree that you were TERRIFIC! You are obviously filled with the Spirit and we wish you nothing but the best on this Christmas tour. We were major sponsors and received 20 tickets…was definately worth driving downtown in the rain on a school night. God Bless!

  • Cassie N

    I have always wanted to do this!!!! and this was a GREAT way to get rid of your fear or at least terminate it for the moment=]

  • Wayne
