way that she chooses joy over sadness and goes on a journey in life and brings that joy into every situation she’ s in. And so, I told my team,“ Hey, I’ m seeing a little girl for this.” And there’ s this young girl that I knew that popped into my head from Atlanta but she wasn’ t able to be in the video. But this other girl, Bailey, I saw one video of her, and I was like,“ Okay, I don’ t even need to see anymore.“
I even got my own revelation just from the way I felt as a young girl and around that age that Bailey was the girl that played me in the video was about the age where I felt like my life started getting really sad and a lot of my hopes and dreams were shattered. That was the age where I was told I wasn’ t allowed to sing anymore. To me, it was like a nod to the young Jamie who’ s now grown up but reaching back to find those hopes and those dreams that I used to carry, and just remembering who God created me to be before life got sad and hard. And then the bigger message is no matter where we roam, God always knows where to find us. And I roamed so far from the original plan and from that innocence in that purity that
I once had, and God was able to bring it back and find me right where I am.
And so, I’ m hoping the song connects a lot of people to, not only to God wherever they are, but to remembering who He created them to be and the things that they used to love and used to believe in before things got hard.
[ WM ] That’ s wonderful. Just wonderful. I’ ll finish with this. You’ re in good hands with Capital Christian Music Group, my old alma mater, and you have an amazing tour schedule coming up. I’ m extremely happy for you and know that you can make a difference out there. Tell us about the touring and your greatest hopes for the record touring and their impact.
[ Jamie ] Well, I’ m going on my first headline tour this month. We’ re doing eight cities, and really, it’ s been just a leap of faith because I am such a new artist and I’ m thinking, who’ s going to buy these tickets? Who out there even knows who I am? And some of the shows have been selling out. And it’ s crazy when you face your biggest fears. I have a magnet on my fridge that says,“ Leap and the net will appear”. I feel like that’ s where I am this year, just taking leaps and God’ s meeting me there. And really, at the end of the day, what it means to me is like,“ Okay, people are connecting to the songs.”
I wrote these songs and my dream for my music has always been to bring hope and healing to people who are as lost or more lost than I was, and introduce him to Jesus, who I believe His presence lives in these songs. And so not just songs to me. They’ re Him inhabiting my praise and my sacrifice of praise when I sing, when I don’ t feel anything or sing, write these songs out of grief and out of loss and songs of hope, songs of deliverance. And so, yeah, I’ m believing that it’ s going to create a community of people who just say,“ Oh, you’ re not the only one going through this. There’ s hope.” I’ m just excited to connect with people. I’ ve spent a lot of years isolated and not using my voice. As I’ ve shared my testimony and songs, it’ s created this family around me that is healing me even more. So, I’ m just excited to see people in person … that’ s great and hear stories … great. I want to hear their stories. And I’ m excited to
