She believes that our time here on earth is very short, and she finds joy in singing and serving the Lord. We pray that Bloodline moves forward in the Lord and that we all draw closer to the Lord. Kristi just recently said "Singing for the Lord, is not about us, or winning awards, or even who we sing with on stage, its not about people you know or a popularity contest....but its about lifting up the name of Jesus Christ and winning others to God. We want to see souls saved and his name high and lifted up!
God has allowed me to carry the message in song for many years. I begin at an early age singing with my parents, Wallace and Edith Petty also known as The Petty Family from a small town called Hohenwald TN. We traveled for over forty years until God called my mother home in 2004.
Ron and I have continued in the ministry preaching and singing about the one true God, Jesus Christ. With the Lords help and inspiration, I have written and produced several albums, tapes and cd's.
I was blessed in 2008 by being chosen Female Vocalist of the Year by the United States Association of Gospel Entertainers and Musicians.
Our goal is to continue praising the Lord Jesus Christ in everything we do and everywhere we go. I feel the message we sing about will lift up and encourage all who hear....
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations Psalms 89:1
Bloodline Trio is a Holy-Ghost filled group of ladies that Love the Lord with all their hearts.
....And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Psalms 40:3
