NASHVILLE (WordNews.org) Nov. 23, 2011 — When we last left Britt Nicole, she was in a conversation with God. She wanted to go to college in Nashville, but He wanted her to return to her small town in North Carolina.
“There’s nothing for me to do here,” she remembers complaining. “But as soon as I surrendered to God and said, ‘I’m not going to take my path, I’m going to take Yours,’ doors began to open for me as far as my music. And I started to write music right away.”
She was 17. It would be another two years before she moved to Nashville.
“I was writing songs, writing with Brandon [Heath],” she said. The two are currently touring as part of Brandon Heath’s “Leaving Eden” tour which is making stops in Arizona and California this weekend.
Britt’s latest album is “Lost Get Found.”
“God did a lot in my heart in that season and I ended up signing a record deal when I was 21,” Britt remembers. “So, a journey. But I always say I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m glad it wasn’t overnight. He gave me what I could handle for that year. Then the next year, a little bit more. I’m excited to see where God takes my ministry from here.”
She pauses.
“But,” Britt says, “It’s been a great journey so far.”
