We have a series each year at our church during September. It is called Hope In The House Of Blues. It is one of the favorite series that we have.
Today, Mike Farris played with our band. He also shared with us and then played a song for us. It was great!
We got his CD, Salvation in the Lights, at the end of the service. It has a bunch of spirituals that are wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone.
Today we focused on tears. On asking God when He is going to answer our prayers. Lament is one of the things predominant in the Psalms. However, we should always “Hope” and look to God for answers. God will listen to our unhappiness. He never leaves a prayer unanswered. Some times the answers are not what we want or we hear “wait”. But God will always be there.
I would recommend that you listen to the POD Casts from the services if you want to hears some really good Blues during the month of September. Simply log onto Lakeforestchurch.org and follow the directions to the on-line services.

Ms. Cindy,
Along the way, I’ve seen a few hard times. I asked the Lord why. I had tried to be a good servant, and it seemed undeserved. He said he would show me, but I had to be patient- it would take time.
He rewarded me. He led me through the minefield untouched. He not only delivered me to the Promised Land, but He allowed me to live there without a hint of bitterness.
For that I am eternally grateful.

Now I think you should be a Psalm writer! I know what you mean about hart times. We all face them. And, a lot of us lean on our faith to make it through. Some would call me lucky. The only luck I have is the Lord is in my corner. He has brought me father than I ever thought I would go. And, boy have I learned!
