I have played it over and over... Today is the first time I have found your journal page. I am totally overwhelmed by reading how this came to be. I can reflect back on the struggles with Tayloe, although it has been 8 years this past Father's Day, that he passed away. The countless years, months, days, hours, minutes, we spent taking care of him as he faught to overcome his battle with Lou Gherig's Disease. You are right.. just being there sometimes, is all one can do. We were so fortunate to have so many to do just that.... I still struggle daily, as do both of my girls. Perhaps Say Amen is something that I will encourage them to listen to daily as we remember Tayloe. For myself, I thank you for sharing how it came to be. It has been a blessing to me... Especially now that I know why it touched me from the first time I heard it. I would love to see you when in Jackson, Best Regards and Love to you, Kim Simmons Kern Hi Ginny,

I have been blind since birth, and I have been singing since I could talk. I play piano and guitar, and I entered college hoping to pursue a career in music. Unfortunately the music department at my university refused to work with me, and I ended up changing career paths. I love your music, and I know all of your songs. I was first introduced to your music around thanksgiving of 2007 by a friend who wanted me to know about you because of our similar circumstances, and I have to tell you that your music has carried me through the good times and the bad times. I love wonderful wonder, this road, own me, I am, true story, say amen, and of course be thou my vision. Thank you for sharing your gifts that God has given you, and thank you for showing me that God is in control. Love, Kolby Hello Ginny,

My dad had a stroke in February, and on my travels to and from the hospital I would play this song on repeat in the car. Thank you for blessing me!! Ginny,

After the prayers of many prayer warriors they are both hanging on. Neither are believers or from a background of faith, but My husband and I ARE and will never let go, AMEN! In spite of all of that, when I heard this the first person I thought of was a dear friend of mine who has been struggling in her marriage for some time. She keeps trying to remember to "give it to Jesus" and my heart made me reach out to her to send her THIS song!

So many threads come through my story and your story...everything from St. Jude's to losing someone close to you to waiting on God's timing. My sister lost her daughter after only 61 minutes of life one month ago today & we are all still fresh in our grief. I stumbled upon this song, the Fingerprint Initiative website, listened to the song (crying!!!!! I love it!), and simply have been searching for a release date. I've already search iTunes & googled it & searched the website...I can't find it! Could someone please let me know the release date of this CD as I want it IMMEDIATELY to give to my sister. Your song, "The Road," has also helped her and she just referenced it in her latest posting on her daughter's website...www.forsydney.net Hope someone can let me know the release!!! Thanks so much!

We are so thankful that she is doing better!!! Please give her our love and let her know that we will be praying for her. We've been praying for you ever since we found out you were a recording artist and saw your concert in Rock HIll, SC, at a local school (do you remember that?)! We are blessed to have known you and are so thankful for your ministry.......it is truly an inspiration. May God bless you richly, sweet lady, as you move forward in service for Him! With much love, The Fastenau Family Ginny,
