Hello Guys:
I just want to say first off thank you so much for all your music, it fills in where others only touch the surface. My name is Kathy, I am like so many other humans and going through those daily challenges, not much different than any others. I am 42 and have for the past 7 years had my life turned upside down and inside out, There are days that I really wonder why I am still here, I feel like a burden to my family............. a ten ton weight so to say. I have days I really wish that god would call me home for the sake of my family, so that they could continue on without the worry of the " what if's". Some would see this as a person who is depressed, in fact some in my family cannot even begin to imagine why I have made some life decisions that I have made. I am here to say.........no I really don't think it is depressions although I can see where some my see it as such, I have come to acceptance, that life throws you lemons sometimes, and we as humans seem to think we need to fix all. Here is my story.
7 years ago I began to have issues with my heart, I went to several doctors, listened to what they said tried treatments that they recommended and questioned when things seemed out of control. It landed me times of being labeled a crazy mother, to being sicker than I was and being told I should learn to complain more. I have had 10 procedures that in the beginning have worked but as time faultered they failed. In the last year have been placed on disability not knowing where I fit in.............. I have always dreamed of being the one that worked until I died but have suddenly been faced with you need to rest to survive. Man what a change from what my ultimate plan was............ I have had times of anger not fully understanding the whys and what fors, to times of tears not fully understanding the why me and the lesson to be learned. LIfe is precious, so many don't realize that every breath you take should be savored.

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to write to you and thank you for your song the voice of truth.
Have had a real bad time over the last six months. My six best friends died, then our new born baby, then my wife, then my two other kids. It has been a test I never could dream of in my worst nightmares. Things have not changed to much yet, but your song has made me think.
Thanks
Craig

Hi there, my name is Samantha. I am a mother of six, and a youth pastors wife. Our youngest daughter Evie (6) was diagnosed in 07' with Leukemia. The past two years have been the hardest our family has had to face. The other day, life was just closing in, and my husband told me to take some time for just me and the Lord. Throughout my day, I would turn on my radio and your song I Will Praise You In This Storm would come on. Three times that day this happened. It was if God was showing me, he may not remove the storm...but he is in it with me. And I will praise him in this storm. Evie is doing well. She only has about six months left of chemo. All in all, almost three years of treatment. But I know God is in control, and he will see us through!
