Be intentional. Be relational. Be selfless.
In all of your relationships the effort you put into them, and your attitude, have a direct affect on you and those around you. My heart is to encourage through sharing my joys and challenges – the good, the bad and the ugly. Words served up with a bit of sweet, a dash of spicy and a healthy serving of random reality.

Voice of Truth – Music Monday

Aug
23

In my recent interview with Mary Beth Chapman, wife of Steven Curtis Chapman – she made reference to a song her husband co-wrote (Voice of Truth) and it took me back to a time in my life when this song got me through a particularly rough time in my life.

You see my husband was working some 80 hours a week (and that is not an exaggeration) and at times I thought I wasn’t going to survive the strain it was putting on our marriage, our family and me as a woman.  At that time I was in a musical production and this song was part of the script and I heard the song over and over during practice and as I constantly listened to my practice CD.

This song truly did help me understand the importance of blocking out all the “other voices” and listening only to the voice of truth – I pray you too will gain insight from the truth of this song in whatever you are being faced with this day!
