Behind the Songs.

Heaven Knows

 

This was one of the first songs I wrote after hearing other people talk so freely about their faith. I wondered how they had it all together. What made their Faith so strong? What set them apart? Looking back I see where there was room for improvement. Is it too late for me? Will I ever be able to feel satisfied and content with the here and now?

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5

 

I have tried filling the hole in my heart with so many things but nothing lasted. Beautiful and wonderful things were taking place in my life and still I felt alone. I self diagnosed myself several times. Until I met a group of women that had so much God in their heart it was overflowing onto me.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

 

The unrest I felt was God beating on my heart trying to get in. It wasn't long after that I started getting inspired to write. My heart was full and my eyes were clear but my mind was still set on worrying. I am a Mother after all. Worry is my middle name. I get exhausted thinking of all the ways they can get hurt. But I can rest in knowing God loves my children as much as I do.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Mathew 11:28
