This is My Story

I love music. But to me, music is definitely not just about sound, but about content. My tried and true fave artists and bands are Sovereign Grace Music, Keith and Kristyn Getty, Fernando Ortega, and Caedmon's Call. A friend recently introduced me to Seeds Family Worship by giving me the Seeds of Courage CD. It is amazing. Why? They have put scripture to music. No changes, no additions, no fancy rewrites. Simple scripture. In my head. It's lovely, and it's geared toward children and I'm very happy that Seeds found me at the beginning of my mothering/parenting journey so I can utilize it for myself and for my kid(s). But that's not really what this post is about. I generally like traditional hymns set to modern music and the more popish Christian music I just kind of tune out.

But I surprised myself and completely identified with a Britt Nicole song. Talk about pop Christian. It's called All This Timeand in an interview she explained the song is basically her testimony of becoming a believer in Christ. God used the time surrounding her parents' divorce to draw her to Himself. Why did I fall for this song? Well, it is my story, too. Her lyrics are my thoughts. God used the terrible trial of my parents' divorce to call me to Himself once and for all. And instead of breaking me, that trial strengthened my infant faith in Christ that had only just begun. Praise the LORD!
