Loved having @LauraBCooksey on the road w/me today. Made the 7hr bus trip seem short. We talked the entire way & it's been delightful! :)

    I really respect what you are doing with the work in regards to your foundation.

    However, I didn’t like the comment that was made by you or the writer in the opening sentence concerning Miss America. I don’t think it’s right or fair to put down a program that is the World’s leading scholarship provider of young women, the women that compete and win Miss America are smart, giving, kind and world changers. Not airheads, just wanting world peace!

    They are girls with dreams, goals and passions, and who want to help change the world too!

    To Andrea:
    I did not make the comment re: Miss America. It was the writer of the article. However, I know she did not intend it to be offensive. I personally know several young women who have competed in Miss America. All of them smart, capable and kind. And all keenly aware that while the pageant takes in to account many of the things that make up the whole person, it is still first and foremost a “beauty ” pageant, where physical beauty is not the only factor, but weighed above all else.

    Great article. :) It’s a wonderful thing you do! That’s so sweet, about Gracie and Bella getting ready to be big sisters!!! When I was 3 and my Mama was expecting my brother, all I did was tell her I wanted the baby to be half boy half girl! :S
    (Oh, and I must ask, if Miss America is REALLY about scholarships, intelligence, and changing the world, why are the bikinis necessary?)

    I thought that your article was awesome! I didn’t take the Miss. America comment offensively! Personally, I do not like the Miss. America pageant! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion though! God bless you and your wonderful Music Natalie! You are an awesome woman of faith! <3

    Natalie,
    What a wonderful article. Very well written. You are an amazing woman with amazing strength and drive. I have a heart for helping people… and you are truly my inspiration in that.
    Thank you for your music, and your heart. It is my dream to meet you one day and be able to shake your hand.

    I agree with Andrea. That first statement was a very judgmental statement. even if it is just a beauty pageant. I’m sure no one thinks you are an airhead, so the comment was not necessary.

    But I admire the work you do to help put a stop to human trafficking. I have two daughters (14 and 20) and the thought of this happening to other girls is sickening. And my two girls think I’m overprotective, but in today’s world, you have to be. I have been promoting The Home Foundation on my blog and blogging about human trafficking often.

    Can’t wait until your new CD comes out.

    Natalie,

    I loved the article! :) I am so looking forward to getting your new CD! And congrats on the baby! You’re a great inspiration to me! I listen to your music all the time and you are one of my role models in the Christian music industry. You’re awesome!

    P.S. The pictures were beautiful! You’re gorgeous!

    I just found a link to this page from Facebook. I haven’t read the article yet, but I just heard the song “Love Revolution” for the first time, on your MySpace player…I’m getting more and more excited. I’m really looking forward to getting the CD when it comes out on the 24th.

  • Noelle

    I can’t wait to get the CD!!

  • Isaac

    I just bought your album on iTunes! it’s great! I love it!

  • Ann

    Your cd is powerful! The lyrics and your story is inspiring and moving. At 3am, I awoke and turned on the radio to Human. For the past week, the song Human has been on my heart. Who you are being is very moving:)

  • Sheila

    I just bought the cd and I like it except song #4 Human has a few parts with static in it. Is that part of the song. I don’t think it sounds good. I returned mine and the replacement also has static

  • Sonya

    Mine just came today so I haven’t been able to listen! Can’t wait!

    Natalie, I’m from Brazil and I want see you in my TV! When will we see your DVD show in shops?
    God bless you!

  • Angelgirl

    You are so beautiful Natalie! I wish I was half as pretty as you are….
    I love your songs so much! I own Awaken, Relentless, and Love Revolutions CDs. I sing them constantly in my backyard and room. I’m sure people think I’m weird but I don’t care. I love Human and hope to sing it for a school talent show.
    Your songs have inspired me to live a life worthy of heaven. (Which is SO hard. Especially when you’re 14 like I am).

    P.S. If you or anyone else has ANY advice for how to get over stage fright I would gladly welcome it.

    Blessings,
    Louise
