This is the STORY

"What good is a story if it's never told?

What good is a story if nobody knows?

We must not be silent when people are dying around us.

Will you go? Will you share? Anyhow, anywhere..

Will you go? Will you share? Anyhow, anywhere..

Will you say,

'This is my story; this is my song. Praising my Savior all the day long.'?"

{STORY, Christian girl group I first heard at Blume}

This morning I was running late (shocker) to the dentist, and I ended up having to take my mom's car because mine was blocked in. As per usual, nothing was on the radio; so, I decided to see if there was a CD in. To my delight I found my Story CD from Blume this summer. I remembered that I was obsessed with it when I got back home, and in my quest to share this awesome music with any and everyone, I had left it in her car by accident.

I started listening, and it didn't take long for me to remember why I loved it so much. For starters, their sound is angelic. I kid you not, they sound like what I imagine Heaven to sound like. The first song on their album [quoted above] is my absolute favorite.

So there I was, speeding along in my daily routine, and by the third verse I was singing along and realized I had tears in my eyes. (this sounds utterly pathetic I know, but seriously, I was so moved by the words and message of the music that I couldn't help myself.)

The message was was ah.maze.ing., and it was perfectly timed with what's been going on in my personal life (the desire to travel, possibly for missions etc.).

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I don't know what my future holds, but I know the One who holds my future. So, no matter where I end up, I pray that I can wake up everyday living out the words to this song. It is why we're all here, after all, to share the Story.

*Sidenote: The fabulous gals of this group attended University of Mobile with my amazing friend and former co-worker, Michelle Drashman, which makes them even more terrific in my humble opinion.
