Back in grade 3, I got stuck in a sticky situation involving my faith - to say the least. It was weird, trust me. Like, I'm not even going to attempt explaining the gist's of it.
Anyway, there was a pinnacle moment in my mom's car, when I finally built up enough courage to tell my mom what was going on in my head. She basically gave me what I needed: tough love.
A dose of reality hit me in the face, and maybe only milliseconds after my heavenly mother virtually bitch-slapped the life out of my fears, this song began playing on the radio.
"Stop your nonsense -- listen to this song," she said.
Truthfully, I only heard the words "Lord" and "Jesus." That was enough for me. At the time, that was all I needed to hear.
