Country music star Ernest reconnected with his faith after taking a step back from the spotlight.
The « Gettin’ Gone » singer, whose full name is Ernest Keith Smith, checked in with his fans on social media Tuesday, weeks after dropping out of Ella Langley’s « The Dandelion Tour. »
Ernest, 27, admitted on Instagram that he was « lost » and actively searching for answers in life, but was grateful for the people who stood beside him with « love and support. »

« Bottom line is I was LOST… i recon I still am … but the search is on…. And that’s new to me, » he shared on Instagram with a carousel of images.

Ernest recognized that he spent « too long » relying « on my own (dumba–) way and thinking I can outsmart my better judgment [sic]. »
« That’s not the case…. I don’t have many answers at all…. But I do know where it’s starting…. A dialogue with something greater than ME, » he wrote.
« I can’t define it and don’t know if anyone really can… I just know that I have a beautiful life, family and friends that deserve me at my best. I deserve that for me too. »
