Thanks for supporting me by being interested in my first album!
You know when I began this project I had a few things in mind but, one main goal for this album--that it might make a dent in our society and mainly in you and ultimately in doing so this act might bring glory to the Lord.
One of the things I really wanted to do in this album was to make more evident the meaning of the word iDENTitY. My teen years were filled with questions. What do I say, how should I dress, who am I, who should I be? To me, when I found where I should really look to find the answers, and who I should really look to, a lot of stress was relieved. To cut the long story short, after all the searching, asking school counselors, friends, even therapists, and family for advice, I finally was directed to the Lord and the Bible. Sure now I listen to talks by various speakers like Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, and Creflo Dollar, preachers and inspiring speakers through podcasts and I read inspirational books too, to help me on my way but, the message I needed to hear for so long was about identity. What is identity?
The New Oxford American Dictionary states that iDENTitY is: 1 the fact of being who or what a person or thing is
-the characteristics determining this
- [as adj.] chiefly Brit (of an object) serving to establish who the holder, owner, or wearer is by bearing their name and often other details such as a signature or photograph : an identity card.
2 a close similarity or affinity.
Identity is who you are.
When I turned 14 years old I was told about the great thing Jesus Christ did for me on the cross. That He saved me from my past, present and future sins. That night I said a prayer to invite the Lord into my life and to become a believer of Who He is (God in Human form), and a follower of his word (the Bible). But that night something else happened, I went from being a girl who didn't understand who she was or should be, to someone with an identity... from that
day forward I would be called a child of God, adopted into his kingdom and a believer and follower of Christ; a Christian, that is my identity.
Now what I do and how I act and respond to who I am right. Sometimes I stumble and act out of character, I forget who I really am, a child of the King, a person with God on her side, and when I forget this and slowly start to act like who I was before and I end up dealing with the consequences however big or small.
This album is called iDENTitY: Isabella. I tried to sing about the topic of identity, who I am. What came out were prayers from my heart put to music. Some songs are just yearnings and thoughts on certain situations but ,the perspective is one from a heart that believes in a great and comforting Heavenly Father. In that way because the songs were written mostly from this perspective, I hope that it speaks to you as no album has and helps to make you think about life and who you are now and who you might consider being in the future.
It has been my prayer that these songs touch your heart and move you to greater endeavors.
Sincerely,
Isabella!
