I have tried to remember when I was first introduced to
Lauren Daigle, but I can't!
All I seem to remember is there was a time I didn't know who she was and now she's on constant rotation on my iPod.
Last Wednesday, I went with friends to see her in concert. I absolutely love her voice, and hearing her live—experiencing the powerhouse she is—just whoa! There's an itty bitty figure on stage, and all of a sudden she belts out this beautiful honey-full voice.
This is her first headlining tour (where she's the main act) and Memphis was her first stop. She told us that as an audience and she said when her management told her about the opportunity, her response was, "What? Me? Am I ready for that? I don't think I'm ready for that. Are you sure?" And it just struck me. How often do we all go through that? When someone is entrusting you—when God is entrusting you—with the next step and we think He's got the wrong person. She reminded us that God equips the called. I can't ever seem to remember that, falling back into thinking I'm not ready, I'm not smart enough, good enough, and having other thoughts of insecurity. Instead of trusting in ourselves, relying on ourselves, we have to rely and trust on God and trust that He'll get us through whatever that next step is.
From that point on, I sang teary-eyed through the rest of her songs. Each one so powerful, each message so poignant.
I'm so thankful I was able to see her and be reminded of God's goodness in such a beautiful way.
When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!
