"How is it Between Us?"

This past Sunday I was asked to sing for a Commission Service at our church for a missionary couple that is headed to South Africa. Steve and Vickie are such great people and uniquely qualified for this awesome task! But the service went really great otherwise. I was not sure that the song I prepped was going to fit in, but it did.

Sara Groves wrote the song "How is it Between Us?" and it is a featured track on her album Conversations. She is such an amazing song writer that it is actually easy to learn her lyrics. The chords were a slight challenge but fun to learn. It would have been a lot more fun with a band, but they had just played with me last week so I did not want to wear them out, and lead guitarist, Brandon Montgomery was already on vacation.

See this deal was a bit of a late thing. Our music coordinator had been left high and dry and she approached me one week out. But it worked out great. This was just another example of when God is in it, we can relax and take refuge in His work...we have to do our part...but He does everything else.
