Anniversary

Today marks the day that 2 years ago I found out about Jason Gray. I only know this because of what I was doing that day and I decided to look back and saw the date. Well, that date changed my life. I found out about him by accident; somehow I became interested in stuttering (Medicine geek here) and searched Youtube videos about it. Somehow, I came across a video of Jason talking and became interesting and clicked on it. That click started it all. I believe that God did that. If He hadn't, I don't know where I'd be at all. An interest in a speech handicap somehow made me a fan of a gifted singer. His lyrics are very transparent and aren't afraid to convict, as well as hopeful and powerful. In addition, because of his stutter, he is able to reach deep places in people's lives, he says. He also states that he is more compassionate and accepting of others. I'd suggest that everyone listen to him because he has been a huge inspiration for almost everyone I have introduced him to. His testimony is amazing and his talks about weakness and brokenness to his audience is stunning. He is being used greatly by God in many ways to preach to everyone about weakness, confession, and identity. I have learned from him in what God tries to tell us all that His strength is perfected in our weakness and that it's okay good to be broken.Being broken displays surrender to the Lord in what he wants to do through you. When that happens, the Lord is able to do wonderful and extraordinary things through you, as he did with Jason Gray. I got to meet him once, but ended up being terribly shy and barely saying a word. However, he is very generous, kind, and gracious. He's so humble that I had given him a letter and he had thought that it was for him to autograph.  I'm only making this posting this so that anyone who may read it can be able to listen to his music and find the breathtaking wonders that I have already assessed. In fact, here are some links right now:
