Erynne Hundley Brings Prayer to Idol

“Delight youself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Pslam 37:4

The Lord embedded in all of us dreams. A dream that we consistently runs through our heads while growing up. Whether or not we pursue that desire is our choice.

For Erynne Hundley, her desire was music, specifically singing. Erynne started singing at the age of 6 and has continued through adolescence and into her adult life. As a sophomore, theater major at Oklahoma City University, she decided that is was time to take her voice out of the 4 walls of the practice studio to American Idol in July of 2009. In Dallas, Texas her faith and prayer became a huge aspect during autidions. After all four judges gave her “Yeses” it was off to Hollywood for Miss Hundley.

Going through Idol was anything but easy-going, Erynne said, “When I went through Idol, it was a really big strain not only on my body and mentality, but in my spirituality becuase I had to remian strong in faith and beliefs to remian strong in myself.” Erynne attends church on a regular basis, but realizes that the social “norms” in this day and age are easy to get caught up in. So she tries to surround herself with people that believe the same way she does to relieve some of the peer pressure. She also realizes that God has given her a gift and a passion and using this gift is one way to bring glory to His kingdom. Whether or not she will return to Idol next season is still in the air, she said, “If I feel like I’m ready to audition again, and I’m mature enough to handle to the responsiblity of audition, as well as God telling me to audition then I will.”

Not only has she inspired me to go and act on the passions I have in my life, she has done the same for those who come in contact with her. She was a huge blessing on the show and to those who have watched this season. I pray for an abundant amount of blessing on her in the coming years.

Blessings!
