  • Sandee Wichkoski from TexasI love stories of personal triumph. Reading this, about how this album came to be, is amazing. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 says: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God". Sadly, people often mistakenly attribute trials and tribulation (the crappy stuff of life) to God and say He's judging this or that and there must be some hidden thing we've done to cause it. The truth is that life happens, stuff happens, but in the midst of the stuff of life there is hope, always. It may come in the form of a instant supernatural miracle or it may come, as does most often, in the form of help and encouragement in time of need from someone who's walked a similar path and has found that unwavering hope to be true. Hope is relational, it comes most naturally when we ourselves have experienced its reality, that there is a brighter day to be seen regardless of what it looks like now, and in turn extend that to others.
