Imagine if we never matured or grew in anything. Our daughter has an intellectual disability and her growth both physically and mentally is set in slow motion, but she has displayed so much growth from the first time we met her in India. Professionals may say she will never get too far in her learning […]
Growth never stops…
Songwriting….
I never took a class, never learned from a pro, and never actually felt like I know what I am doing but I still write. Songwriting for me is unplanned, it honestly just happens. God puts a phrase in my mind and it gets stuck until I write it down. If I try to write […]
It’s Been Awhile…
Not sure if you have noticed but I took our instagram page down recently. We have once again decided to go against the norm when it comes to what the world tells you to do as artists or musicians. Why? Well I am glad you asked :). Andrew, the other half of Finding Ground, has […]
How are you supposed to love others, when you don’t love yourself.
This is a blog post I wrote for my counseling site but felt like I needed to share it here also because it resonates with the music we write in so many ways. We write for the broken and lost. To provide hope and an answer. So read on and feel free to comment. Jesus […]
Our First Worship Song…
You was written over two years ago. After listening to many hours of worship music God put it on my (Rachel) heart to write a song that praises Him. Yes this isn’t a new thing but I wanted to write a song that took the names of God…these names are so powerful and describe the […]
The Single Crooked Halo is out!
Crooked Halo actually came from a dream. The Lord in my dream told me to write a song for all those who have experienced sexual abuse, human trafficking or who were once the forgotten children of our world. He gave me the name of the song in this dream and promised a bit more….but that […]
His Will be Done….
Ever wonder if you are walking in His will? There are days where I ask myself this question. If this was His will wouldn’t He be blessing it? Wouldn’t there be people listening? Sure I can blame these thoughts on satan but I don’t give him power over me. Who am I doing this for? […]
Behind our upcoming album
This album we are making right now is all about love. Pure love that only comes from the Father. It is dedicated to all the broken, betrayed, abused and lost people walking around today trying to find something to sooth the pain. Only Jesus can do this. I was one of these and my daughter […]
Sooooo much closer!
Tracks are getting ironed out and I am getting my air back and preparing for vocals!!! This is so exciting! The last few months have been difficult. I have literally thought about giving this one up. Then He stepped in and has shown me that I don’t do this in my own strength, obviously because […]
I have really gone and done it now!
As you might notice I went and changed my music name once again for the last time. This in the music business is quite a no-no. So let me explain why….. I have met and worked with some amazing artists, producers, musicians and seen this music come together and still sit in wonder…..is this for […]
The process of grieving
I have dealt with a lot of grief in my life…. At the age of 16 I found out my best friends from third grade has passed away after an accident. Over my life I can think of 10 friends or family whom I have lost already. Just recently I lost my father in law. […]
Loosing direction……singing my way back
There is this incredible song sung by the amazing Steffany Gretzinger, Sing My Way Back. If you haven’t heard it you should seriously check it out. This song has been my obsession lately because I have found myself in a slump or loss of direction. Being a human is hard sometimes….especially when you feel so […]
New Year, New Day, New Way
With a new year comes restoration. This is what God is showing me this early into the new year. When we started writing songs and singing again a little over two years ago I never thought I would have completed my story in song. Never! But its here and all glory to God. My story […]
Behind the song Tip Toe….homies!
“Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do” (James 1:8). There once was a girl named Anna, meaning merciful, she grew up very similar to me. She lived on a farm and was raised in the church and had two brothers. Her parents were also divorced. […]
You Matter…..Here is why
You Matter is the one song in my album that is straight from the perspective of God. For so many years after the abuse I wanted to die. I would imagine it all the time….just not waking up, stopping my breath with a pillow, choking myself and so on. I hated me. I hated my […]
Behind the song Life Goes On
For some reason life did not stop the day I gained a big gray cloud of depression and loss of myself. It just kept going. We ended up moving to Arizona not long after and soon after that my parents divorced. By this time I had learned how to just keep swimming through life. Life […]
Behind my most difficult song to write…Little Light
The song Little Light is a hard one for me…..so I will take a different approach to tell you where this song came from. I will list the lyrics and give you a little behind the scenes as to where this stemmed from. I would like to let you know this may trigger you (as […]
Behind the Song – Fairytale Life
A Walk Through Me was written to share my story so I wanted to follow up with explaining each song. So here you go in this blog post I will be explaining Fairytale Life. Now……. Close your eyes and imagine green hills, farm land for miles and a quaint little white farm house under the […]
Behind the song The Search
Everyone from the beginning of time has been searching for something or someone bigger then them. There is a natural pull to this ‘thing’ from birth. A newborn baby comes out crying, needing. Totally helpless the newborn continues to cry until comforted by its mother or father. The baby needs the connection, comfort and sense […]
There she goes!
Thank you, Thank you to all of you who have listened, purchased and shared our music I am honored and so thrilled! I was asked yesterday if I was excited to get this album out….I proceeded to say “honestly it just feels like another day”. This is all a bit surreal. Never did I imagine […]
