Jenny Simmons, 'The Becoming': 'This I Know' Music Video Released [WATCH]

Jenny Simmons, former lead singer of Addison Road, released the music video of her song, 'This I Know,' off of her debut solo album, 'The Becoming,' on July 2.

The video proves a very personal look into Simmons' life from days when she had pimples, bad hair days and bags under her eyes to goofy days with her daughter and ultimately to the days when God touches her life with beauty and purpose. It kind of moves like a scrap book, taking different aspects of her life, from 5th grade on, adding some doodles here and there, and piecing them together along with the music.

The video is fitting for the song because it tells of overcoming our insecurities and allowing our lives to glorify God and accepting that He loves us as we are. It ends with some footage of Simmons rocking and singing, 'Yes, Jesus loves me,' to a young girl.

Jenny Simmons' debut solo album, 'The Becoming' was released on March 5 and proves her first real endeavor apart from Addison Road. After the band separated on their own separate journeys Simmons found that in this time of uncertainty God moved into her heart to give her a new sense of purpose. "It was in that season of being lost that I was ultimately able to be found, and not because I knew the next step, because I didn't, but just because the Lord showed up in that season, and He brought new things to life," she said, according to her website.

She began a blog series in which she poured out her insecurities and uncertainties. This series later became the floor plan for her debut album. She did not originally intend on doing a solo album, and she says that, even after all of these years, she continues to feel uncomfortable on stage. "It's almost like God's sense of humor on display that I'm onstage," she said. Her solo album took shape on its own and became a story of hope in darkness and uncertainty.

Her first single on the new album, 'Heaven Waits for Me,' was written with pop writer Steve Miller and really inspired the rest of the album. "This [song was] almost like God's answer to me," she said, according to her website. "Like, 'You know what, you made it through all that stuff, and you're still happy; you're still Jenny. You're not totally broken beyond repair, and the things that are important, the things that matter, that linger on, they're still here and they're still intact.'" This became a turning point in both her career and her life in general.

From there, the rest of the album kind of just fell into place. "I felt like I had a road map before I ever wrote a single song of exactly what I wanted the album to say," Simmons said. However, she found herself very afraid and insecure doing this on her own when she was used to having her bandmates there to help and support her. "In the beginning, I had no confidence," she said. "I didn't know what I was good at and what I wasn't because I was so much a part of this other little bubble with the band. I had so depended on them."

She went through a period of sadness and insecurity with the album, feeling as though she was not cut out to tell the story about 'becoming' something that she had not yet 'become.' But rather than having the experience behind her, Simmons soon found that it was the process that signified 'The Becoming,' not really the end result. From there she really began using the project to discover herself.

The album features polished pop songs, moving ballads, country-tinged pieces and more. Songs like, 'What Faith's About,' speak a message about believing in our own hearts and striving for the success ahead. Songs like 'Broken Hallelujah,' focus on the beauty of our vulnerability and allowing God to taken the broken parts of us and repair them in His perfect way. 'Letting Go,' is a song that deals with the idea that sometimes we need to allow our dreams to die in order to allow God to create new and more fulfilling dreams in our lives. The album also features the song, 'Come Healing' by Leonard Cohan, a soft ballad that speaks of healing through the love of God.

Through her experiences, Simmons learned a little more about how to negotiate her own 'becoming' and she hopes to help others to do the same. "I think the tendency is to run, to try to fix it as quickly as possible, to not have to wait...or to dig your feet into wherever you were and refuse to move and refuse to change. But my hope and prayer is that people realize it's a season, and I believe it can be a holy season," she said. "My prayer is that through the words of these songs they realize it's a desert, but things come to light in the desert. There's a million stars shining bright in this wide-open space, and it's the best place for the Lord to come in and start growing something new inside of you."
