God blessed me so as several stopped me to tell me how each song specifically touched their hearts. I was sitting through the service listening to siblings read poems of the siblings they now missed and also the beautiful music of Sam Smith as he shared a song about his daughter whom he lost at 16 years of age. I was thankful the Lord kept me from tearfully delivering the songs…because I knew it was critical they hear every lyric of Hush Little Baby and Eye is on the Sparrow. I knew there likely were many in our midst who may not know Christ as of yet. I had asked Him to draw them to Himself and let them hear Him…singing over them. He was faithful.

I was so moved as the Lord whispered to me after I finished…”again you see now the fruit of your own valleys.” I thought I could burst into tears in mid service at the goodness of God in His bigger plan. I would have nothing to offer them should my valleys with Him had never come to be.
