Pre-Valentine’s Day confessions . . .
A long time spiritual mentor of mine used to say, “Remember in the light what you heard in the dark.” I was just reading in Matthew 10 and stumbled on verse 27: “What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.”
That’s what this new album feels like. In dark places, alone places, just want to go home places, God has been whispering His sweet somethings in my ear. He really knows how to romance a woman. I’ve got the love letters to prove it.
And now, by His grace and with His full permission, I’ve got the songs that will proclaim our forever love to the world once and for all. I’m going public. Not with scandalmongering or sensationalism, but with bold and beautiful truth. Unabashed and vulnerable.
Like a cupid aiming an arrow, I am ready to release the next chapter in my love story. There have been seven “chapters” in the series so far. Maybe you’ve read them (or, more accurately, listened to them like an audio book). Beginning back in 1994, there was Child of the Father, My Faith Will Stay, What Matters Most, There is Joy in the Lord, Let’s Fly, The Best Of, and Because He First Loved Us. The eigth novella, So I Can Tell, is soon to go to print. I hope it’s a best-seller.
Pulling back my bow,
Cheri
