Inspired By Faith...

I have been asked where I got the name nspiredbyfaith. Well, it's like this. Several years ago my sister, a good friend of ours and myself sang together from time to time. We began to get requests to sing at different churches, events and such and decided to give ourselves a name. Inspired By Faith was the name we chose. Simply because when you see faith at work it IS inspiring. To see someone who is utterly faithful to the Father, who's entire existance is simply to serve Him(as all of ours should be) can inspire even the laziest of christians to serve God and grow closer to Him. I certainly do not claim to be a perfect christian, I am far from it. However, I hope to always be an "nspired" christian. Striving to walk closer and live my live to serve my Lord and Savior and inspire others along my journey...
