Hi! My name is Christie Gerschutz, I'm 19, and first and foremost I am a Christian. God is my reason for all that I do, including my music and books. God called me into music ministry when I was 15. I started a homeschool praise and worship band then, was in a band called Second Wind when I was 16, and currently have written 25 songs with more in the works. Also, I'm an author. I've written a teen devotional (released in '05), a children's book called Samuel the Camel (released Nov. of '06), and the soon-to-be-released start of a historical fiction trilogy for youth. You can see pictures of these in my photo album.
Other than God, my music and writing are the most important things in my life. They're my outlet, my testimony, my pulpit, my soul. With them I can tell people who Jesus is and why He means so much to me, and also that I know what it's like to hurt and to cry and feel like you've got nowhere to go but up. I've made mistakes, and I still make them. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm not perfect, and that Jesus maybe won't make your life perfect, but that He will walk with you and guide you through life and give you peace through a transformed heart. I write all of my songs, am currently unsigned, and every song comes from my heart. I'm working on getting recordings finished of them to get more of them up here for you guys!! I also have a myspace that you can see at: http://myspace.com/christiespiritfire. Tell all your friends about my music; contact me if you want me to do a concert, or speak to a group, and be sure to come back and listen to my songs again here on DR!!!
Rise up and be God's,
§Christie§
