I'm a fan of Danny Gokey because ever since his first audition on American Idol he inspired me. I've always tried to be the postive thinking girl, you know the constant bit of sunshine that tries to see the world as a glass half full, though I admit at times my resolve has faltered. More often than not because of some difficult situation I had found myself thrust into.So, Danny caught my attention with his moving story of true love and incredible faith. I could never imagine being in the situation he found himself in and trying to find a way to claw myself out, while maintaining the attitude that my best days were ahead of me. I know Danny has spoken of being in a very dark place at that time in his life, but the fact that he was able to find his way out through music, which brought him hope, led me to believe that can be possible for most people in trying and painful situations. Music & faith is what inspired Danny, it is what brought him back from the brink. Maybe for other people it would be painting, or playing football, perhaps even simply noticing that the sun does continue to shine and even though it may seem like it your life isn't over, that moves them to be inspired. But regardless stories such as Danny's of hope, perserverence, dedication, faith, and love will constantly inspire.

I adore Danny so much because he helped to strenghten my faith in God, which in turn helped to re-strenghten my faith in man, and ultimately helped me to have faith in myself. He helped me to understand that life isn't always about what you want, or even what you think you need, sometimes things happen that you will never understand, things you will never make sense of. But when everything seems to be pilling up and going against you, that is when you need to look up and notice that no matter what it seems like you are NOT alone. There is always going to be someone there that understands you. Someone that you can lean on. Now when I think I'm getting overwhelmed and there isn't anybody in the world that will understand how I feel, I talk to God about it, and I know that there is a plan for my life. I have a distinct purpose. And while I may not know what it is yet, I know that one day I will. And one day it will all make sense again.

In the end I'm a fan of Danny Gokey and I think everyone else should be too because through him and his music I find hope. Hope for a better world and hope for a better tomorrow <3
