It is rehearsal time again for Out Of The Ashes, and I am sitting here listening to a new song that was truly birthed "out of the ashes." Life circumstances are not always pretty or picture perfect, and the circumstances that this song resulted from were some of the most heartbreaking that any parent ever has to walk through. The song starts with the utter devastation of a father's heart when he realizes that he cannot always protect his children from harm, but it doesn't end there. Even in this, there is hope. There is healing. There is restoration. There is God.
In getting to know the members of the band and their individual and collective stories, it becomes clear how appropriate the band name is. Each person has walked through fire, and for some, the journey is still being walked out. In all of it, God has shown Himself to be faithful, and the story that will emerge from the ashes will undoubtedly touch people's lives in a real and powerful way.
Even in this, The Son will rise with healing in His wings...
