Hey everyone!
It's been so long since my last blog. I'm afraid I've become so addicted to Twitter that I've neglected myspace a bit. Please forgive me. I'll try to commit equally to both in the future (but can I just say how much fun twitter is?)! You can follow me here if you aren't yet.

Well I had a good, but busy day today! Have you ever heard of the show "American Idol Rewind"? It basically is a re-airing of American Idol but with exclusive interviews from the contestants about what was happening behind the scenes. It is syndicated so comes on lots of different stations: Fox, CW, TV Guide Channel, etc. Well they are currently airing season 4 and just began filming season 5. Today I went down to a local hotel here in Nashville to film my interviews. It was emotional reliving all of that again. It's been 3 years and A LOT has happened since, but I found myself feeling all of those same emotions all over again! And guess who I ran into? Kellie Pickler! I haven't seen her in so long. She's currently on tour with Taylor Swift. Check her out...if you can find tickets (they are selling fast)! Anyways, AI Rewind Season 5 will air in September.

Something else great happened today too! I've been waiting so long for this day and I'm glad that it's finally here! I've heard from so many of you who have wanted to know who Andrew is from the song "You Wouldn't Cry (Andrew's Song)" from my album Freedom. Well now I can finally introduce his story to you. All you need is 30 minutes...and a box of Kleenex. I've read your messages and it means the world to me to hear how that song has comforted so many of you who have loved ones who have passed away. I pray that the story behind the song would mean as much to you as it does to me. Click for here more.

All in all it has been a busy day! But when I got home I had my new ipod shuffle waiting for me in the mail! It's so cute, and little, and pink! I got it because my big bulky ipod skips sometimes when I run out by the lake. This ipod shuffle will clip right on to my shirt and holds just enough songs for a good workout! I already added my favorite workout playlist (God bless Trin-i-tee 5:7, Superchic[k], Britt Nicole, and Group 1 Crew)! They make the best workout music!

Now all I need to do is add some good praise & worship music and I'm set! Just the other day I said to myself that I needed a new worship album, and no sooner than I had the thought, my friend Travis Cottrell released his new album "Jesus Saves (Live)". If you ever saw me in my pre-Idol days, it was probably at a Beth Moore event where Travis is the worship leader. He is one of the best worship leaders I've ever seen and I've learned a lot from him. If you've never heard of him, check him out (just click on his name above). You won't be disappointed!

Well I'm off! "So You Think You Can Dance" awaits me!

Love y'all!

Well you had quite an exciting day, Mandisa!!!

I watched the story behind Andrew's song this morning and had tears in my coffee. Such a wonderful song and the story behind it is so very inspiring. In about a week, it will be the anniversary of the death of one of my good friends, Amanda Jones. That song is one I use in times of need when I need some comfort. It was so touching to hear Rebecca's story. What a strong woman and an inspiration! Make sure you thank her for us!

I've been waiting patiently for the American Idol Rewind of Season 5. Always been an Idol fan but 5-7 were my faves. So very exciting that you got to see Kellie! You sure have been through a lot since you've been on the show!!! I am very proud of you :)

Thanks for the music recommendations..I always have your song "Defination of Me" on my workout playlist :)

Yay So You Think You Can Dance! Make sure you watch for Bianca Rebels :)

Aw, dang. I'd love to hear the story of Andrew, but my computer does not have speakers. Is there any way I can get text of the video?

Thank you so much for sharing the background story for "You wouldn't Cry (Andrew's Song)"

I love background stories about how/why a song was born.  This story is very moving...especially for those of us who have had to say goodbye to a little one before ever getting to meet them face to face.

(((hugs))) from OK~~

I don't believe that you have "ugly feet." I know you have beautiful hands. I'm betting your feet are equally beautiful. Prove me wrong, Mandisa! Let's see some photos o' dem tootsies!
