(Photo credit: MTV NEWS)It's been almost a week since Scotty McCreery, the high school baseball pitcher and grocery store bagger from North Carolina, won this season's American Idol crown.
If you follow me on Twitter, you know I was very excited on finale night. I love when artists that a real, humble, and appreciative are noticed. I am very happy for Scotty and for Lauren Alaina who won second place -- what an amazing job!
WOOOHOOOO AND CONGRATULATIONS SCOTTY AND LAUREN--MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE!!
I believe we are all put on earth equipped with special talents and an individual purpose. If we trust God to guide us, He will reveal them and use us for good. I believe that Scotty and Lauren are doing just that and in doing so can touch a million hearts with the love of God and bring millions of smiles around the world.
I pray that having crazy work schedules and being in a tough industry that these two will be protected and guided on each step of their life's journey. I ask that God continue to minister to them so that they grow deeper in their faith and are able to spend quality time with the Lord.
Scotty chose one of my favorite Josh Turner tunes as his audition song. Take a listen (courtesy of haiyde) and even if you don't like the musical genre, I bet you will enjoy the performance:
'Til my next computer boot--group hug!
