After seeing my mom remove her wig which covered her bald head from chemotherapy, I felt priviledged to be trusted and loved so much that she was not ashamed to let me see her for who she really was. It was autumn then, and the leaves that remained on the trees were BEAUTIFUL. Some trees had already shed their leaves for winter, and my mom pointed out the beauty in a bare and crooked tree, standing exposed and revealed, without it's beautiful leaves to hide behind.
Taken from Acts chapter 7 when Stephen spoke a very strong word of correction from God to the religious leaders of that day. This song was inspired by my wife, Misty, after she was prompted by the Holy Spirit to speak a word of correction to a Christian leader here in Panama. Why does this never happen in the Church nowadays? Our fear of man keeps us from submitting to the Lord's leadership too often. We are ALL parts of the same Body of Christ. One part is no more important than another, and we must be able to speak into one another's lives.
I became friends withan older, handicapped man (originally from Detroit) in the mountains of Panama. He cannot walk, and he can barely sit up, but his wisdom of life and appreciation for God's creation is very inspiring. He often speaks in the form of poetry...it just flows out of him naturally. He sent me this song that he had written and recorded on a little hand-held recorder for his grandson on his birthday. Listen until the end and you can hear him singing the song himself.
God wants us to live honest lives with everyone...especially the ones closest to us. But that ain't easy! This song came from reflecting on a time when I "came clean" with Misty. Extremely painful. However, it propelled our relationship into a far deeper place, where it never had a chance of going before.
About an orphan we fell in love with but are unable to adopt because of the problems with the adoption system in Panama.
About my dad who passed away December 18, 2008. He always looked over my brother and I with "eagle eyes" growing up. Minutes before he died, he looked straight at me with unmistakable peace. These "eagle eyes" also represent those of our true Father in Heaven.
The day of our miscarriage God revealed to me that He had taken this baby to Heaven where she would be raised by Him in Paradise. I say "she" because a few days later God told a dear of ours in a time of prayer that the baby was a girl and her name is Faith.
We often runs so fast in this world building up our meaningless wealth (that causes more bondage than freedom) or religious systems, that we are unable to hear the voice of our intimate, loving, healing, wise savior, Jesus Christ.
God gave me this song after He freed me from addiction.
