Trusting God before you can see how it ends.
A broken sail off a Jamaican beach, a rescue no one could call for, like Fred Hammond, I promise to keep saying thanks and not complain.
I once hid in my bedroom from a fire I had started, and Karen Clark Sheard's song about a secret place taught me that the refuge God offers is not an escape from reality but the strength to face it.
A Clark Sisters song about living blessed, and why, after more than two years unemployed, I have come to see my hardest season as a process and not a conclusion.
Jabez prayed from a place of pain for God to enlarge his territory, and this song encourages me during my unemployed, in debt, and fighting the feeling that rejection had made me a failure.
