This is one of the fan favorite songs on my new CD. This song came out of much personal pain. After losing my Information Technology business in 2001, I had a personal crisis like no other in my life. I had everything invested in it, including myself. It was more important to me than anything else. It was supposed to become my ticket to financial security for retirement. There are so many people in Southern California right now that are suffering from a great loss, like I did, so I have empathy. When I wrote this song, I did it in tears. I was expressing a deep change in my heart. This is a change that I hope others will find.

I stopped worshiping my business, and a started worshiping God. I let go of something that was a temporary possession and sought out something more reliable. I had been placing my trust in my business, now I would place all my trust in God. I had been angry with God for allowing such a great loss in my life, not that it was His fault. It hurt me deeply, because I had too much invested in it. I soon figured out that I couldn't let this make me bitter, or it would destroy me. I figured out that I needed to be thankful for what I still had. I had family and friends, and I had my church, who gave me strength and wisdom. These were worth so much more than what I lost. I began to realize that this life is nothing compared to the life in eternity I will have. It lasts a very small fraction of the time, and what I do here will determine what eternity is like. This loss meant little in the big picture. I had to stop worrying and start worshiping God. I had to start trusting God to provide for me. I had to trust Him with every area in my life. I had to start being who He made me to be.

With this surrender, I started following God's direction, not knowing where He would take me. He led me back to my music, which I had given up years ago. He showed me, and is still showing me, my purpose in life through my art. I am still trusting Him to provide, and He has been doing so miraculously. I have many testimonials now about how He has provided. Now, I am looking forward to what He has in store.
