I have known this for a while, but just for fun I wanted to announce that Matt and I are having a little baby boy! I can safely say that I knew that all along, but after a sonogram about 2 months ago, it's for sure!

So, in a little over 2 months from now, Mason Lee Henderson will make his debut as "The cutest kid ever born" And no, Im not bias...Im convinced! haha

So I'm just sitting here on a Sunday morning, skipping church because Im sick with a cold, wishing I could take some medicine, but I can't because of the baby! Today marks my first sacrifice I guess :) Anyway, this past week has been pretty eventful and I figured I would share...

In the last month or so I have been really struggling asking myself "Did God really call me to do this whole singing thing?" I mean don't get me wrong, I love it and I have a blast doing it, but it seems like booking dates and actually getting out there and doing what Im called to do is very hard. No one ever said it would be easy but COME ON!

However, I have sang 2 times in the last week and it's AMAZING how God knows exactly what I'm struggling with and He meet's me where Im at. I sang out of town last Sun. and when I offered the alter call, for the first time yet, NO ONE responded. So I go back to my seat a very sad girl, when the next thing I know, the pastor get's up and testifies about how he was convicted of some things through the message God gave me! Hello Amy, ye of little faith! So that was great but thats not the end.

I sang on the Lady Anderson Dinner Cruise this past Thursday and after the cruise was over I was back at my record table and the sweetest family from IN., came up and wrote a check for a cd. I thought something was up when the husband aked "Will you get all of this?" The wife went on to say that they were very blessed by the songs and that they believed in this ministry and when she handed me the check, she said "we want to bless you with this!" In my mind I was thinking they must have written the check for a larger amount than what the CD cost but I didnt want to be rude and look right then. So I thanked them from the bottom of my heart and we went our seperate ways. Later that evening, I got the check out just out of curiosity and was BLOWN AWAY by such a blessing! This family was apparently blessed and they saw something in my ministry that they wanted to contribute to. The monitary blessing was great and much needed, but the feeling of encouragement I got from their faith in this ministry was priceless!

Long story short...God does not call a single person that He does not equip, so Im just going to hang up all my questions and fears, and get out there and do what I do without a single doubt!

You guessed it! Matt and I have some pretty important news to share with everyone! Sometime in late Feb. we will be (I will be) having a baby!! :) It was not really a "planned" thing but lets face it, God's timing is perfect and He knows what He's doing. I am scared one moment and happy the next, but all in all I know that this child is going to be such a blessing to our family! I just cant wait to meet him/her!

Main perk so far: getting to say that I'm eating for two and not feeling bad about it one bit!

A writer for this online magazine contacted me a month or so ago and asked to use "When Heaven Smiles" for the making of this video. Pretty neat opportunity! :)

It has been a while since I have made an entry so my mom says I need to add a new one. :) Since the album release, I have heard from so many people how God really moved in their life that night. It was certainly nothing I did or said, but it was very evident that He was there.

New happenings:
I am in the process of booking concerts for 2007. Since I'm not a huge "self-promoter" that has proven to be somewhat of a task. God is opening up doors though as He sees fit and I know that He will send me right where I need to go. Quality over quantity is my motto at this point. (At least it makes me feel better about it) I'm kidding...

ECSGMA Weekend:
Jan 25-27 at the Marina Civic Center here in Panama City, Fl.
This is going to be a weekend FILLED with outstanding talent. If you love to just sit back and listen to wonderful music, come out and join us nightly for this event. I think we get started at 6:00 each night. Tickets are at the door. Also, I am very humbled and honored to have been nominated for "New Artist of the Year" and "Soloist of the Year." The awards show is at 5:00 Sat. in the same place. I hope to see you all there...come ready for a blessing!

My album debut has come and gone and I can safely say that I really feel that it was a success...not because of anything I did or said, but because of what the Lord did in our service. I was so worried that no one would respond and that no one would be changed, but God did what only He can do best and 4 people prayed the sinners prayer. THAT WAS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! It was just one more bit of confirmation that I am doing what I was called to do. Thank you to those of you that were able to come out...the large crowd was a huge encouragement! And thank you to everyone that had a hand in it to make it possible! It was every bit as wonderful as I hoped it would be!

The album release date is quickly approaching and I have so many mixed emotions about the whole thing. I’m very excited on one hand and on the other, I'm a basket case of nerves! The thing is, it seems like no matter what, time and time again, when I am getting ready for a big singing weekend, Satan really rears his ugly head. He makes me doubt myself and my abilities and then on top of that, I usually get sick. Part of it may be a mental thing on my part, but I truly believe that he wants to ruin things. After all, isn’t that his whole purpose? It never fails, and in this case he is up to no good again. Little does he know, I serve a God that is much bigger than any soar throat or a case of the jitters. If anything, when this stuff happens right before a sing, that is usually a pretty good indicator that God is going to move and change lives and he (Satan himself) doesn’t want that to happen.

My God NEVER fails! I know that He will heal me and make me like new in order to share His word to those who need to hear it. There are remarkable powers in just speaking the name of Jesus...there's healing, hope, and joy!

See you Sunday Night!

It's official, I am married to the most wonderful man on earth. He really had no idea what he was getting into when he married me, but with this music stuff finally starting, he is starting to see how much work has to be put into it. He has been such a huge encourager in this process. Not everyone can marry someone in the ministry. It really does take a special person and I know that Matt is that special person for me. Thank you God for sending me what you knew I would need, and thank you Matt for being my biggest blessing. I love you from the bottom of my heart Matty!

My next most favorite guy is my little brother Cory. He has had to deal with me for a long time now, and he still loves me anyway. He's is very musically talented himself. Playing pretty much anything with strings and has recently been doing a lot of singing. He's the type of guy that a lot a people respect and look up to because he is very firm in His faith. Thanks Cor for being such a great example. I love you!

(Ya'll happy now?) haha just kidding!
