Do you know singing has always been my way of expressing myself. And I find comfort and music. I didn't grow up in the church. So music was the thing I turned to, as I was growing up, before I had that personal relationship with God. And when I was about 12 years old, my family brought us to our First Christian Church, it was a Spanish church. And that's where I learned about Jesus. That's where I accepted Jesus as my Savior. And that's where I learned how to worship in Spanish, and just in general, and I fell in love with Jesus. And I remember those first days, those first love days with him. Everything was so exciting. And I just found myself just so intrigued with who God was or who God is. I remember the first time that I sing at church, and I sang, I can only imagine, I just felt the Holy Spirit, just moving. And it was a beautiful feeling. And I fell in love with that feeling. And I just, I loved from that moment, I just loved worship. I loved ministering.

EL NOMBRE DE JESUS is a very special song for me. I wrote it with my friend Amanda Kenner. We wrote it right after one of my friends in Puerto Rico, passed away from C19. And it was very unexpected. And I think his death affected me, because I was already going through a lot of anxiety and depression, surrounding the topic of death from previously losing another friend the year before. So in that time, when we were writing this song, she asked me, what is on your heart right now? What do you want to talk about? And I told her, the only thing on my heart right now is, my friend just died, another friend. And I just don't understand why God allows these things to happen. He was a man of God, he was a good person. And it just didn't make sense to me. And we kind of sat there in silence. And she just started talking about the wonder of Jesus, the power of Jesus. And it, it might not make sense. Or maybe in that moment, it didn't make sense when you put it in words, because we're talking about the loss of a friend. But at the same time, when she started talking about the wonder of Jesus, that's when I began to realize, wow, there's, there's no way to know why these things happen. There's no way to understand the depths of why we go through the things that we go through. But the most important thing is remembering that Jesus is at the center of our lives. And he understands, and he knows why things happen. And that should be what matters. And that shouldn't be the most important thing that we take from these tragedies in our lives.

So at that point, I just started to think about, wow, like you were just so magnificent, and so powerful. And even through the depths of my despair, and through my tears and my depression, I had made a promise to serve you, and to stay for you. And that's what I'm going to do, I'm going to honor you even in my despair. I've struggled a lot with anxiety and depression. I'm very open about it. But I'm not going to let it define who I am. Because when you allow your mental illness to define who you are, you lose sight of what God can do for you and he can still take you out of that moment and those depressive seasons in your life. And that's what he did for me. There was a point where my depression was so bad that I became suicidal on more than one I became suicidal on more than one time in my life.

The first time was definitely the worst. I didn't understand where the thoughts were coming from and it scared me. But my pastor from Texas pastor Abdiel Avila he and his wife first, what are your beliefs? They always were checking in on me and my husband. And in that moment when I first had the suicidal thoughts. My husband called him, and we spoke on the phone. And he prayed for me. And he talked to me, and he convinced me that it was okay. It was okay to love Jesus, and still get help. And now, as I look forward, and I see where, where God has brought me now, my anxiety or my depression, and my suicidal season, brought me to a place where I can talk about it in a healthy way through my music and in my ministry, and share that with anyone who's willing to listen. God is there in the midst of it. And he can, he can change your circumstances, through music, he can change it through whatever your gift is.

It can be anything, he can use anyone. And God showed me a lot of mercy. I was ready to quit my ministry, because I just thought at one point, maybe this just wasn't for me anymore. Maybe God just wanted me to listen to him. And just my songs were my own diary. But there came a point where God used a friend of mine who was not my friend at the time. And he used to tell me, "you have a gift to write the songs. And they're meant to be heard and you need to share it. Your ministry is not over and you're not useless." And shortly after that, I said, Okay, God, I'm listening. I'm listening. And God opened up one door after the other after the other. That was when CORRO A TI was born.
