This song was written on June 22, 2017. As I was driving my husband and me back home from Daytona Beach, FL, the Lord put these words and the tune to this song "I'm Gonna Trust You Lord" in my head as I reflected on all the events that God had orchestrated since the beginning of my journey back in Jan. 2016, where I had written a song "Missionaries" and had started praying that God would get that song to the missionaries. Wow! What a journey! What an amazing story that God orchestrated for me to tell. There I sat driving our old car with over 200,000 miles on it and the Lord puts the tune and the words to this wonderful song about this story in my head. I tell my husband who is sitting in the back seat holding his heart pillow over his heart, because of having open-heart surgery just two weeks prior, to hit record on his phone as I start to sing so that I will not forget these words and the tune to the song! As I thought about everything that had happened from the beginning of this journey to this day, I was so AMAZED and so in AWE of the Lord and how He had worked everything together for good for my husband and me! The main point that this song points out is that "If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31. I mean this is a classic story of being a "Nobody", but God was my friend! He saw to it that His will would be done, no matter how anybody else felt about it! I remember singing the song "Missionaries" for the first time at a mission rally with several preachers sitting in the pews listening to this song that thanked missionaries and encouraged them by telling them that we loved them and were praying for them. I remember so well that none of these preachers there said a word about the brand new song that had just been written. I'll never forget my closest friend at that mission rally made a comment to me and said, "Oh, Lori, I loved that song and I wish that every missionary could hear it! It would be such an encouragement for them!" I really appreciated this sweet friend of mine to appreciate the words of the song! The next day, we went to a place to hear a preacher preach a sermon that the Lord had arranged for me to hear. It was a sermon about "Discouragement"! The Lord knew exactly what I needed to hear that day so that I would not give up! God's word spoke to me from that sermon and I could not control the tears running down my face as I sat listening in my chair. When the sermon was over, I walked over to the preacher and told him that he would probably never know how much his sermon touched me. After that, I knew that I had to keep praying and I had to keep on reading God's word and that I could not give up on this song that was written to encourage missionaries. So, I kept on trusting in God, praying and believing that if this was His will that He would make it happen! After telling several people about it and then finally making a CD of it, God arranged everything to happen at the exact perfect time (Jan. 31, 2017). I received a phone call from a man in the missions' department who loved the song and loved the fact that I wrote it, played it and sang it and he wanted me to sing it and play it or make a video of it to be presented at the ABA National Meeting in Daytona Beach, Florida in June of 2017. I was in awe of my amazing Lord who I knew had orchestrated this story for me to tell and that very day (Jan. 31, 2017) God gave me the song "I'd Been Praying" to tell the story of praying about this song and about His perfect timing! Another amazing fact is that at the exact moment that this man was calling me, my husband was picking up my CDs that nobody had listened to or bought that I had left at a bookstore that was connected to the seminary where we had heard that sermon on "Discouragement" almost ten months earlier. My husband walks out of the bookstore with my CDs in a bag and he hears a man preaching in the chapel on "Encouragement". The preacher sees my husband look inside and motions for him to come in and my husband does come in and hears this sermon straight from God on "Encouragement"! So, remember, I am at my house receiving a very ENCOURAGING phone call at the exact time! After the phone call, I drop to my knees to thank God for everything that He had done and had orchestrated and then I call my husband to tell him the amazing news as he is walking out of this seminary where he had been motioned to come in and listen to a preacher preach about "Encouragement". April 11, 2016, we both hear the sermon on "Discouragement" and then on Jan. 31, 2017, he hears the sermon on "Encouragement" at the exact time I am receiving the "Encouraging" phone call about my song. Long story short, God throws the curve ball in June, 2017. My husband has to have surgery and we don't know if we can make the meeting, but, GOD WORKS ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR OUR GOOD and 17 days after his surgery, we are there!
