It came to my mind for me to send a song called \u201cYou Are Precious\u201d to a fellow wayfarer on the call. Everyone else on the call asked me to send it to them, too &#8212; it seemed to be a message we all needed as everyone&#8217;s &#8220;stuff&#8221; was coming up with the strange circumstances of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>My husband and I had written the song together. The first part of the melody just &#8220;popped&#8221; into my head one day when walking out the door to meet my son off the school bus. Later that day, my husband was noodling on the piano, and I could hear the melody with words forming over the haunting chords he was improvising. I stood by him at the piano and it started to come together. Becoming a songwriter is one of the many completely unexpected gifts I have received as a result of my willingness to heal my mind. The icing on the cake: I write most of the songs with my husband &#8212; my biggest teacher on this journey. It sort of summarizes the ebb and flow of resistance and willingness in my experience: 1) fear that God&#8217;s plan will be awful, 2) surrender to God&#8217;s plan eventually, and 3) God&#8217;s plan being revealed to be more amazing, surprising, and joyful than anything I could have concocted on my own.<\/p>\n<p>In recording the vocals, I was turned toward my mic and facing a framed image of a violin on it on the wall. I hadn&#8217;t noticed before that I could see my reflection in the glass. As I recorded the song, I sang the words to myself. It was powerful and moving, and I felt tears in my eyes as I felt the unconditional acceptance of my creator. I hope you also receive this message as you listen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2913 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1997-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1997-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1997-1024x769.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1997-768x577.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1997-1536x1154.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1997-2048x1539.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1997-510x382.jpeg 510w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1997-1080x811.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The photo is from a time my husband, son, and I went to a 3D movie.
