namely Vince Gill and Ricky Skaggs. “A lot of people ask us who we would want to sing with,” shares Denise. “Vince and Ricky are both often mentioned. They are phenomenal musicians and extraordinary voices. We had no idea it was even a hope and a prayer for us to collaborate with them. Andy was the main reason it actually happened.” It happened. And the result is nothing short of amazing. For the ladies, however, the album represents so much more than good music. It represents the joy of their 20+ year ministry. It represents the blessing of family and friendship. Most of all, it represents three women continuing to discover God in fresh ways, new ways and allowing Him to carry them through the tough times and amazing times. “We’ve been through all the things that artists go through,” Shelley says. “Getting married, having kids... But at the end of the day, our desire is to love God and love people.” “The bottom line is that life is good,” Denise says. “We are celebrating all those moments that God’s given us. I’m now watching us as women who are truly maturing in the Lord. Life is good because God is good to us. It’s not always circumstantial; but even in the tough stuff, we’re learning how to celebrate and appreciate life.” “While this lifestyle can wear on you—being on the road, juggling kids and family, at the end of the day, I know that we’re making a difference and we have a purpose,” Leigh concludes. “If we are loved and have a purpose, life is so much sweeter.” Undoubtedly, life is sweet for these women...these legends. Hand in hand with a Savior who is infinitely creative, pros trumps cons everyday. READ OUR REVIEW OF DIRECTIONS HOME The New Point of Grace Album Out Now
