And even though she is a busy mom and housewife, she intends to do what God has called her to do. And that is making music that can make a difference. In Marie's own words.(I am so thankful for everything that God has done for me. He has blessed me with a beautiful family, and given me the desire to sing and the ability to write songs that can speak to your heart, if you'll just listen. I don't pretend to take credit for the songs. I'm just the channel that He uses. Many of my songs deal with faith and holding on to that faith though anything that is put in front of us. I've struggled daily with worry, but Jesus said' who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:27,34. So I try to ' Let go and let God.' It's not always easy, but with God, you can't go wrong.'

God Bless
