Last Thanksgiving, one of my dearest family members—an outspoken atheist—challenged my faith, questioning why I believe in heaven and devote so much of my life to an abstract reality. I simply smiled and said, “I find joy in dreaming my life away.” That night, I poured my heart into this song.

I chose this song by Matthew West because I was recently asked to sing it at a friend's wedding. My wife and I celebrated 9 years of marriage on May 5th, and we've had our share of challenges and heartache, but our commitment is even stronger and I still "...mean what I say when I say...I DO"!!

I chose this song because God says we are strong when we are weak, loved when we don't feel it, and held even when we feel that we are falling short. The only thing that matters is what God says of us. Believe in the truth of what God thinks of You!
