Our Story
Your Life's Song was initially conceived, yet not named, from the idea to take a collective of musicians and write individual songs by joining specific musicians by genre or ability to create the best music possible. Coming from a family of musicians, music is in our DNA. And I wanted to develop to creatively impactful songs! It was good idea but never became a reality...
What turned an idea into the vision of Your Life's Song was twofold...and it came unexpected circumstances.
Over many decades I have watched people battle with addictions, as well as struggle with my own.... I agonized for those that were hurting and suffering. Though I was battling my own alcoholism, I felt that I needed to do something to help others who felt pain and were trying to fill the void by any means necessary. If I couldn't help myself at least I could give someone else hope. I didn't have hope that I could ever change but I was sure that I could convince others that there was hope. I had been in a leadership positions and mentored people. I had taken in those whose lives were in the ditch and helped them at a time when they needed it. In my heart I truly did have a genuine care for people. And felt that through music I could help. But the truth is, the lie...that I was telling myself. As was the pain I was trying to mask by 'doing good'.
Life has a way of tearing you down and I had a series of events that would humble me and send me down a path I wouldn't have thought possible. Though I had grown up in Faith I had largely rejected the church. My belief in the Lord remained but I wasn't going about to ask for 'favors' or to get 'bailed out' when I had no intention in living a Godly life. But He began to do work in my life and began to work on me.
Events began taking place in my life and people started to enter my life in such a way that it was if... "Lord...are speaking to me?" He was, and my suspension of belief that He was working in my life became less and less over time. Eventually He led us to a church but more importantly led me to seek a relationship with Him.
What changed my life was the finally having the understanding and the belief that the Lord could and does love me. In spite of me. That healing was possible and that hopelessness was nothing more than a false belief system. That pain could be replaced by peace, and that I could learn to accept love and learn to give it to those I love.
Through pain...and then His love, Your Life's Song became the vision to help others find the same hope and healing.
