It was 2011, together with a couple of friends we decided
to drive over to Watford where the Soul Survivor Festival was happening. The
couple of hours we spent there were amazing and how I wished I had signed up
for the whole conference and not just a day. Just before we left we stopped by
the stalls, we wanted to buy a CD/s to listen to on the way home. There were so
many to choose from and so many names I had never heard, it was hard to made a decision. Then my friend
Cherie grabs this CD with this beautiful woman on the cover, takes a look at the
song list and says, ‘Let’s take this one. I know the Revelation Song so she
must be good.’ So we got the CD and what a good choice it was. We listened to the CD during the 2 hr drive from Watford to
Andover, repeating our favorites several times. I fell in love with songs
like, ‘Healer’, ‘My Beloved’, Sweep Me Away’, ‘No Sweeter Name’, Everyone Needs
a Little’, ‘You are for Me’ – hey wait a minute – am I just about to list every
song from the album? Since then I have been a fan of Kari Jobe and her music. She
has a beautiful voice and sings from the soul. Her music leaves me with no doubt
how much she loves Jesus.
The other day I saw the interview she and husband gave and
one of the stories she told touched me and reminded me about God’s faithfulness
even regarding the seemingly small things. Yes, indeed God is always listening
and even when we have forgotten He doesn’t. So Kari shares the story of green
eyes and how she always said she wanted to marry a man with green eyes.
However, when she first got to know her husband, then just a friend, he had
brown eyes. Let me not spoil the story – so I guess you have to listen and
watch the clip to know what happened. But all I can say is that – her husband
now has green eyes.
Gotta love how God works.
