francescamusic: @jeffpardo @MarisaVHP girl, I need your help!!!
Hey everyone,
I hope you are enjoying your week, and as Valentine's Day approaches quickly, I thought it fitting to take a moment to talk about a sweet girl I recently got a chance to meet. A girl who lives each day with hope, courage, and love in her heart for others. If that's not what this holiday should be all about, I don't know what is.
Tori Svenson is a young girl who's story I first heard back in September. It's a story of beauty and heartbreak all at the same time. Her strength and joy in the midst of fighting cancer is inspiring to say the least. There are some things in this life I don't know if we will ever understand. It brings me peace, though, to remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than ours.
To think that the Lord can use something as simple as a song to encourage Tori during chemo treatments is a blessing beyond words. I wrote "Angel By Your Side" with the hope that it would encourage people who were going through difficult times, but I never could have pictured Tori. I am grateful to know her, grateful to CNN for giving me the opportunity to surprise her on air last month, grateful to God for using music in profound ways beyond what we could ask or think!
Let Tori's story remind you that God can use you no matter what you are going through. Her life has already impacted thousands, and who knows what God will do through you when you let Him?
Love,
Francesca

Phew, what a year 2011 was! It was a whirlwind--starting with WinterJam and ending with The Story Tour. We made so many memories as a family out on the road last year, and it was fun to meet so many of you. Our son Eli is 16 months old, and as most of you might already know, we are expecting our second child in June! We can't wait for this adventure God is continuing in our lives! It will mean we're not touring this summer, but we're excited to be out with Jeremy Camp this spring and have some exciting plans for the fall!
Stay tuned for updates on touring, recording, and all things baby! :)
Many blessings,
Franny

Dear friends,
It really is the most wonderful time of the year! I just finished up The Story Tour (which was a blast!) and now I’m enjoying some time at home as we ease into Christmas! As 2011 comes to an end and I reflect on what an amazing year this way, I want to say THANK YOU for every bit of support and encouragement you have shared this year. You guys mean the world to me and I appreciate having you alongside me in this journey.
I’m ecstatic to spend some time with my sweet son and husband as well as the rest of our family this holiday season as we reflect on the birth of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. In the hustle and bustle this time of year, let’s not lose sight of what truly matters. Let’s show love to those who are hurting and lend a hand to those in need.
My hope and prayer for you is that enjoy this Christmas! And I hope to see each and every one of you on the road in 2012!
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Francesca
