Storms

My wife, Tara, and I are musicians who play contemporay Christian music. A couple of months back, there were some things going on in our lives that were causing me to have "faithquakes". It wasn't one major thing; it was a lot of small things all balled up. I must admit, she stayed strong in the Lord, while I faltered. She tried reaching me, and I was not in a listening mood. One day, she sent me a simple text message, "Listen to 'Praise You In This Storm'," by Casting Crowns. I took her advice and took it one step further; I learned to play and sing it. It really brought to home the fact that God is with us through every aspect of our lives--the good and the bad. He is always there; sometimes we just refuse tor acknowledge it. Music has the power to reach people that sometimes simple words can't. God Bless You.
