A week ago or so I made a new playlist on my itunes... I called it MWS and friends... ( I know, I am a groupie... I am okay with it...)
As I put together this playlist I realized that since going to my first MWS concert in May of last year my Daddy has used him and Natalie Grant to bring me comfort, to prepare my heart for what He was going to do... and then... He put me on a boat with exactly those people.. for the Grand Finale... a Master Piece...
Since I have become a Christian, in June 1994 I have loved Michael W Smith's music, I have had several of his CD's, but until last year I had never been to one of his concerts...
It was 6 months after I had found out that my husband was having some kind of an emotional affair with my cousin.. at first I had thought that forgiving him and moving on had taken care of this unfortunate occurrence.... but I was very wrong...
our relationship disintegrated more and more, I became more and more disillusioned and without my main spiritual mentors around ( our pastor and his wife were on sabbatical for 6 months) I was going down a not so nice path...
So when May came around, and I found myself at the MWS concert God revealed Himself to me in an amazing way... He used the song "Deep in love with you" to show me that He indeed cared... as I was worshipping with thousands I all of a sudden had this vision of me lying on the ground, all broken and crumbled up... and God the Father bending down lovingly and picking me up and holding me in His arms saying to me "I know how you are feeling and I care".......
This was new to me... especially after being in a marriage where my heart was broken daily for almost 17 years...
I am sure now that this message of love and care was what softened my heart and prepared me for the next step on the path that God had me on.... to be continued
