Album Notes
So much goes into sharing this music, far more than I expected when I began. This album of work is dedicated to and shaped by an incredible roster of people.
MY MOTHER:
The artist who turned my eyes to truth, goodness, and beauty. The musician who put instruments in my hands. Words cannot capture my love and gratitude.
MY FATHER:
The best earthly example of a father’s love that a daughter could ask for. The one who showed me what it means to be steadfast and sacrificial.
JENN & NOLAN:
The friends who wept with me, laughed with me, and spurred me on to deeper truths.
ELA & EMILY:
The ones who climbed many mountains with me, sometimes far earlier in the morning than I would’ve preferred.
DANIELLE:
The great encourager whose early support pushed me to share my songs and do the next thing.
EARL & JARED:
The two generations of godly men who shaped and supported my love of music.
I am blessed by an incredible family, both biological and spiritual. There have been many others, through encounters great and small, that have added their colorful threads to this tapestry.
It would impossible to list every influence and supporter, but I ought to give it my best attempt. These are just a few of the people who blessed me with prayer, guidance, and encouragement while on this journey:
Stephanie, Jonathan & Megan, Rich & Sue, Beth, Julie, Nate, Joanie, Jen
My knack for word smithing can be traced up the branches of my family tree, as can my name. For my grandma, Marlyn, I hope to carry the name well.
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
God has put music in my soul and words on my heart.
May I decrease so He increases.
JAMES 1:17
