So far, over 80 Billboard Christian format reporting stations have added the single and music directors are saying they haven’t seen a song with this kind of connection in years:

"'I Can Only Imagine', 'How He Loves' and now 'Blessings' - it's one of those songs that unexpectedly touches listeners in their deepest need," says Wally Dekker from WBFJ-FM in Greensboro. "Laura Story's simple delivery of such a poignant message provides instant connection. If you want a song that elicits response, please consider. If you want a song that will touch hearts for eternity, it's a must add."

In addition to having a top selling record and single, the critically acclaimed worship leader celebrated her third nomination for “Female Vocalist of the Year” for the 42nd Annual Dove Awards last night. For the first time, Story took the stage and performed alongside other “Female Vocalist” nominees in a tribute to music legend Sandi Patty.
