I just recently wrote in about being an incest survivor. I listened also to the CD “Awaken” The song “What are you waiting for” has inspired me to help others with the trials and tribulations of life. I am from a broken home, I lost a best friend at a young age, I have suffered an aftermath of an abortion, experiencing homeless several times in my life. in and out of psychiatric wards, dealing with highs and lows along with depression, despair and hopelessness, attempted suicide multitude of times in my life. It all stems from being a victim of incest. I just couldn’t handle it and didn’t want to face it. Now 44 Years later I am ready to face it so I can help change people lives. I am taking a course “Helping People God’s Way. “From Light University” A Christian website. Thank you Natalie for inspiring me through your music. If it wasn’t for that CD I would still be struggling today. I now know what my purpose in life is.
I have much I could tell… if only I could see through my tears now…
Thank you, Natalie. Thank you, sweet Lord….

I have just come through over a decade of transition after divorce shattered a 19-year marriage and family with four kids. We have all been blessed to moving in stronger more positive directions and the healing has begun, for sure. But your song, “Our Hope Endures”, hit so true and exacts the images of this seemingly long process into a precise concept. the continuity of God in it all. We are a family of born-again Christians but nevertheless not immune to human fraility. In that same vein, my church has begun the painful transition of searching for it’s 3rd pastor in 3 years. I was beginning to think maybe we were doing some thing wrong to have to endure this lack of strong leadership. but one morning, while listening to this song, I realized that we are going through a similar process as my family. We are learning the deeper faith of Hope that endures the worst of conditions. Thanks for the encouragement that such a jolt is not bad, but part of His perfect will to make us stronger as individuals and as a church body as well
For years my mother has been battling chronic illness. As she is getting older, the illness intensifies. When the pain gets so bad, I don’t know what to do but pray. I can’t take it away. It hurts so bad. I can’t understands God’s purpose in this but I trust Him. His grace is sufficient for her. When I heard this song… it was as if the song was about my mom. I thank you sweet Lord that You are always there when she is crying out to you.
