I love me some good Christian music! Maybe it's because I was always in choir, so music was a big part of my life, but music has always been a great way to connect with God for me. It's almost like a type of prayer.
But I don't like to just have the musical worship experience on Sundays, I want to experience it throughout my week! In the car, while I clean, while I journal...I love finding great music that glorifies God!
Today, I'm excited to share with you a brand new album that is sure to get you up--- singing and dancing for the Lord- Mandisa's Out of the Dark:
Mandisa wrote her song “Overcomer” in 2013 to encourage her close friend Kisha, who was battling breast cancer. Mandisa really believed and prayed that God was going to heal her, but when Kisha went to be with Jesus in 2014, Mandisa’s foundation was shaken in a way she never expected. She fell into a deep pit of depression for close to 3 years, shutting out her friends, family and the rest of the world. Mandisa believes if she had kept going down that road she was on, she would not be here today… but God stepped in and lifted her out of that pit by using her close friends to communicate their love for her and God’s love for her. This album is Mandisa’s way of letting her fans into her story – it’s called 'Out Of The Dark' because that is exactly where God lifted her out of!
Have you ever been in that spot? Whether you deal with mental health issues or just deal with situational anxiety or depression on occasion, we all have those moments of feeling down, right? I know I deal withit. I'm there right now with my anxiety... some days it's everything in me to just get out of bed and get through the day. It's in these days that I realize the amazing power of music. The lyrics can speak to us in ways that sometimes not even people can--- they speak the words in our hearts that we are unable to. This album truly was that for me, and I know it can be for so many Christians dealing with mental health issues now. Or people going through a rough spot...or a bad day. Or even if you just appreciate great music with a great message. This album is for ALL of us.
Out Of The Dark is available to purchase TODAY!
