In the late 80s, we met after one of your concerts at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas; a friend of mine who ran sound at PBC introduced us. I've been a fan of your music since before then. I had the blessing of seeing you at Willow Bend church earlier this year and I had to smile when I saw your graying hair (sorry), I thought, "we've grown up together" ... we have, I'm older too.<BR/><BR/>When I saw you at Willow Bend, my heart told me something was different about you. I later read about the changes you'd gone through in the letter you posted on your website and I've prayed for you. <BR/><BR/>In His sovereignty, God has a way of letting us go through such tough times, but if we allow Him, we grow deeper in intimacy with Him. Although I'd walked with God since I was a child, my faithquake came in '99. While I never would have chosen such brokenness, I would never trade the intimacy, confidence, and peace I now have in God as the result of trusting Him through that difficult time. Have you ever read "A Tale of Three Kings" by Gene Edwards? It is such a powerful story packed in just a few pages; it helped me discover the sovereignty of God and that there truly is no better place to be than in His protective will. <BR/><BR/>I'm enjoying my new CD, <B>Even This</B>. One of my all-time favorites is still <B>The Sacrifice</B>...that song was always just another song on a record of favorites, until I heard you explain the story behind it at a concert. And that is one of the things I have always admired about you, even when you were newer and younger in the business with so much fame and attention, when you walked on stage to perform, I didn't see a famous Christian pop guy, I heard a minister's heart as you shared your stories and sang. I believe that is the power behind your music, it's longevity, and the way it touches a listener's soul; I'm one of the many who's been blessed greatly by your words and melodies.<BR/><BR/>I was able to visit <B>The Ridge</B> Sunday and enjoyed hearing your music again. I pray you enjoy the beauty of this holy Christmas season!<BR/><BR/>For Christ's Glory,<BR/>~AlvaA Life Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146215525170158736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783083129373756396.post-44060100024337914312007-12-19T12:59:00.000-06:002007-12-19T12:59:00.000-06:00Love your insights and that you can write them wit...Love your insights and that you can write them with such picturesque words and wit...most of all honest and with a love for God at the head of the list.
