From the album: I 2 Eye
1. HAND OF PROVIDENCE (Matthew 6:31-34; 10:28-31)
______ From an interview of Ginny Owens ______

LH: You got your degree in Music Education and thought you were going to be a music teacher. What happened along the way?
GO: Lots of things happened. I didn't get a teaching job, first of all. All my prospective employers freaked out and said, 'There's no way we're hiring a blind person!' I wanted to teach, but wasn't sure that I wanted to teach badly enough to move out of the Nashville area to a place where I knew no one. I started applying for just regular administrative assistant jobs and eventually got one that had flexible hours--which is just unheard of. The flexibility gave me the opportunity to go and write music with different writers. It was during this time of craziness that I was introduced to a publisher who took an interest in my music. He decided to sign me as a writer and then proceeded to introduce me to an amazing producer (Monroe Jones) who agreed to produce a demo of three of my songs.

Aren't you glad that God intervened on Ginny's plans, and she didn't get that teaching job? Instead, she had the opportunity to be in the right place to produce her album.
