When He Said Live

August was a busy month for us and September promises to be even busier. Just this past week we released our new project, When He Said Live. We're super excited about this record. Eight of the ten songs were written by Annie and the other two tunes collectively come from Joel Lindsay, Wayne Haun, and Sue Smith. Some of you may have heard our latest single, "When He Said Live," on the radio. The other songs, to me, are just as moving. I think if there is a theme of this recording it is encouragement. The Christian walk is not always an easy one and I think it's important to remind God's children that although God sometimes leads you to a valley, He's always there with grace and the provisions to get you through it.

   We just got home from Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. We performed Saturday night with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver at the big Echo Valley Amphitheater. It was awesome! Then Sunday we performed 3 shows that were equally as exciting, aside from the convention feet syndrome. (Those of you NQC fans know exactly what I’m talking about.) The folks at Silver Dollar City were so accommodating and treated us like royalty. Not to mention the fans who came out to see us who were so charming. We are all so eager to go back, which will be sooner rather than later. We'll be there a whole week in the end of September. If you'd like to make a trip to come see us in Missouri and maybe ride a rollercoaster or two, check out our schedule at http://www.bsaworld.com or you can visit http://www.silverdollarcity.com for more details.

   Before I go, I wanted to share something that has been on my heart lately. Recently I was reading in Psalms, specifically Psalm 13, where David is asking God, how long? He even says, "How long will you forget me, forever?" I don't know what David was facing, but I imagine it was a situation that seemed to have no end. Like most Christians, I have been right there, struggling with a situation that I tried to control, but couldn't, all the while wondering when God would step in and deliver me from my suffering and sadness. Then David goes on to say, "But I will trust in Your unfailing love... I will sing to the Lord for He has been good to me!" The truth is God does not ever forget us, even when we feel like He has. I look back on all the valleys in my past and what I remember most isn't the struggle, but I vividly recall standing on top of the mountain free from the battle with my arms raised in praise to the God who has never forsaken me. Thus, if you're in a valley and you feel deserted and overwhelmed by your circumstances, remember all the other times God delivered you. After all, is this valley really any different? Just remember, God inhabits the praises of His people. Never forget to praise Him for who He is.

“When He Said Live”

Annie McRae shares how she came to write the song, "When He Said Live."

"I had come to a place in life where I was really depressed and discouraged. I can’t share every detail about my trial, but I will tell you that it became very hard for me to get up in the morning. I had lost purpose, hope, and a reason to fight. The bottom line was I had lost my focus. I felt like giving up on life. I was lying in bed one night and picked up my Bible. It immediately opened to Eze. 16: 6, 'And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live.' God healed my heart that night. He passed by and spoke life over me. And I HAD to breathe. I had to get up out of my self pity and grief and brokeness and I had to live!"
