A year and a half ago, I was introduced to a brand new girl band through a review opportunity. I absolutely fell in love with 1 Girl Nation's sound, lyrics, and message to young girls. Today during play time, my kiddos asked me to put a CD on. I went to options of truth. The song lyrics that I want the Holy Spirit to ...
