I don't even know where I am right now as far as my relationship with God, I think I've become almost apathetic, but when I watched this I just started crying, it was like God was telling me that He is working in my life
Its so true when he said, Heavenly Father put us through a trial to help us become better. I am feeling my own chaos crashing down on me but I got to rememember every trial is a blessing and it help make us who we are today and every day
Dude, Praise God!! bro, my Dad had a stroke at 2:30AM in Feb. 2012. We knew nothing, he was walking about but very strange symptoms like slurred speech...It was 7PM when he went to see the doctor after a 2ND attack hours before and was immediately rushed to hospital. It was a Friday. He left hospital two days later, on Sunday evening, in 3 days, to be a miracle in God's house!! :-D He's up, in the hall as I type this, doing some reading, still in perfect health! All Praise and Glory to Adonai!!
Amen to my brother in Christ! Before you became famous, you came to my church in Columbia, SC and played with your band. I'm now 15 so you dont remember me but I came to your concert in Columbia, SC at 1st Baptist Church like 2yrs ago.
This video is so true...even though we go through life and the pain may seem unbearable God is working through us to end up even more closer and living for Him.
Bob, I just wanted to come and thank you. I keep coming back here to read your comment and keep that verse at the front. We're walking through a very difficult time in our family and your comment's been a salve on our hearts.
I hope you all get to read this. You are the reason I'm still alive. Everything in my life came crashing down. The unthinkable things happened. The first time I heard your song it was on the radio. I almost had a wreck. That song was me, about me, to me. Thank you seems so inadequate but thank you anyway
I was driving in my truck the other day and this song was playing on KLOVE. As the song was playing I realized that it described how I have been feeling lately. Four years ago I was in a motorcycle accident that nearly killed me. I was paralyzed from the chest down. At 28 years old I lost my career as a police officer and Navy career. I have and still find myself asking why. Your testimony brings me hope. I have a long way to go on my relationship with God but He never gives up on me.
Last year my dog died and I was going to go to lifelight. I didn't want anything to do with god since she died and then I saw you guys there and I listened to you play and I broke down and cried. You are truly so inspirational and I was balling after I got done watching this. Thank you.
Thank you for these video journals. I got married at 20 and thought I had everything figured out. 16yrs later it all fell apart and I wondered "Why God". I lost everything, even to the point of homelessness but God still provided. Its only been a little over a year and I'm still recovering but I know out of this chaos God has given me a heart for broken people. I"M WORN but in my weakness he truely shines! God truely blesses the broken hearted and draws us all back to him.
I wasn't really a big Christan until last Saturday at carowinds when I first saw your concert. Yes, I cried during your concert, and demanded myself to change. I am now a Christan that actually knows how God has such an impact on our life. I'm learning to play guitar so I can write songs to praise the one and only, amazing God!
God truly can bring beauty out of a horrible situation... I have seen it through my Dad. When I was only 3 years old my Dad had a massive stroke that has left him severely disabled. He can't walk, or talk... he has to be fed through a tube in his stomach. He can't do anything for himself anymore. But everyday without fail he always gets me to put his Bible down in front of him so he can spend time in God's Word. My Dad is living proof that beauty can come out of the ashes. God is so good.
I used to sing on our worship team at, but 6 yrs ago, I was became paralyzed from a spinal cord injury. Was told I'd never walk again! I DID after 2yrs of therapy! I praised God for healing me! Though I can walk I've had much pain for yrs. Somewhere along the line, I let my pain take over my heart, not able to stand to lead worship anymore. Singing was my passion! Found this song last week, I cried so hard! Then I saw this and cried harder! It inspired me to tell my story & sing this at church!
I have anorexia and one of my best friends used to cut and almost committed suicide. I heard this song live from them and I just cried. I was so broken and my grandpa had a life-threatening disease and I just had to let it out. I'm working through all my issues, I still struggle with my eating disorder and I'm trying to keep my faith right with God. This is such a beautiful song.
hey, i don't know who you are or what you're going through but i just want to say that I'm praying for you.you must be going through a bunch of stuff right now, but i pray that you will see that God has something for you. that he is there for you even though you can't see him and i pray that he will ease your pain.I'm not going to pretend that i know what your going through but what i will do is tell you. you have two people that heard your cry through your post who are praying for you.God bless
People can say they don't believe or its a joke or whatever, but just be confident in your faith. Watching this video makes me many to be more confident and faithful and trust God even more. Thank you. God bless!
I was walking through that storm just a few weeks ago, i cried myself to sleep every night for almost a month. I heard stories but never thought it would happen to me so one day i was listening to music and heard Worn i remembered this journal and ran home to watch it. And yes I have that happy moment now, so thanks God for not leaving me
This group saved my life. If it wasn't for their music and words I would of taken my life, but God used them to show me He loved me. Yes, God had other plans for Mike. To use him and others to be an instrument as an avenue to Christ saving grace. Xx
That is really deep! Thanks! God has done so many things to help us learn and understand what this life is, and how to truly live. If it were easy, we would probably take it all for granted. Grace would not be needed, therefore, salvation would be just another word, and a relationship with God .......?
"If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won't give up. If you give up, you're not worthy... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for." - Bob Marley
wow!! this is such a powerful truth. having been through my parent's divorce, a cousin's suicide (which I didn't find out til several years later), an abortion in the family, and self harm (not necessarily in that order), yet God has been so faithful in all these circumstances, and I have been able to help others, and even possibly save lives. I have become so strong in all those.
This is the third time I heard the car accident story, and about the millionth time it made me cry. I love this story and listening to Mike tell it and share his life struggles, makes me feel assured. I Love Tenth Avenue North, and I love God!
Wow... I watched this and was tearing up. I've been going through a hard time, drifting away from God and I realized that I was destroying my life more than I thought. Thank you.
Yup...God got me with this video. Today I have been saying, "God, why?? Why are these things happening??" and I decided to go onto this channel, decided to watch this vid...it's reminded me God's got His hand in this, whether we realize it or not, and I will come out of this much stronger than I came in, and I have overcome.
"If you could spend one day with any person, dead or alive, who would it be?" Whenever I'm asked that question, the answer - HANDS DOWN - is Mike Donehey.
When I was a teenager, I was an athlete with Olympic dreams. However, that dream was crushed by a speeding truck that hit me full force going 50mph as I was walking across the street in front of my home. I died twice in the ambulance and spent three months in a body cast. They too said at first, I might not live, I wouldn't walk & I wouldn't dance, but I did. They even said I wouldn't have children & I have 3. I thank you for this song and this video. And thank you Lord, for leading me here.
Listening to his comments at the beginning, about wishing that God would make life easy, I'm reminded of John 16:33. God never promised that life would be easy; in fact, He promised just the opposite: "In this world you will have trouble". You *will* have trouble. But that's not the end of the verse; He goes on to say "But take heart, for I have overcome the world!". Hallelujah!
God is so perfect. He loves the imperfect. His heart breaks for those who reject him. He doesn't want to send anyone to hell, but He will if He needs to. He speaks True LOVE through His son Jesus Christ. Truth hurts, but it's our fuel as Christians. We thrive on God's truth. We pray so we can talk to God because we have faith that He hears our prayers and answers them in His time. The God of the universe LOVES us!!
I think that Tenth Avenue North met me before they wrote lots of there songs. Worn is one of those. I really like these guys and I have memorized most of there songs! God definately knew what He was doing when He asked you guys to sing. You guys have encouraged me and even in the midst of struggles, I know He is there. I would like to thank You, God, for all You do, and thank you T.A.North for all you have done too! You have no idea....
Profound. I am coming out on the other side of one of the most difficult storms in my life thus far. Never did I think God was not there. Pivotal. I am not sure the 'ending' yet, but God is ALWAYS great...even in the storms. For anyone battling their 'demon,' you are NOT alone. God IS there. Reach out. God bless. ❤️
"God said no - It's not your circumstances that need to change, it's you. And sometimes to change us, He's got to put us through the worst things possible."
For 320 days I have been looking and looking for the answer, and I found it. This is what I've needed for the past 320 days. Thank you so much. I thank God for leading you to post this. It has made a huge impact on me and changed my mind about my situation completely! I can't thank you enough.
without pain we wouldn't know happniess and without happiness we wouldn't know pain. Heavenly father put us through a trial to teach us. To help us learn to be better and to understand. without trial we wouldn't be the person we are today. every trial is blessing no matter how hard it is. Also to remind us he is always there by ourside helping us. He is amazing.
I'm tired and I am worn, O' Lord. I believe Lord but help my unbelief. The storm has and is long, difficult and very exhausting. Please give me your strength O' Lord. Give me the courage to carry this cross. O' Lord, help when I am afraid I won't make through. Father, I love you! You know that I do but I am so tired and worn. Please just touch me, O' Lord. Heal my mind and my body O' Lord. I ask and I pray this in Jesus'holy name and through Jesus'precious blood. Thank you, Lord Jesus! Thank you for telling the story of the song "Worn." God bless you always! Amen
I am walking through the biggest storm I have ever been through, and I have gone through a lot of hard/bad things in life. Please pray for me. Such a great video. Thank you God for letting him speak so powerfully for you. Please continue to bless him and his family. In Jesus Name, Amen.
What an amazing message, and so true, it is in those moments that God seems so far that He is probably doing something great, even if we can't see it yet.
This video really got to me because I've struggled with the fact that God gave me pain. When I was 7 I was molested and It just spun my life out of control I got into so much sin. I always thought God just left my life to evil. But God has started this healing process within me. That redemption you were talking about makes so much sense now. Pain just gives me this spectrum of how good Gods love and grace is. God brings beauty from ashes for reals :) Thank you T Ave North for your ministry
you are so right Mike, the only reason i haven't given up on life is the thought of Jesus died in the lowest way possible( hanging on the cross) so i said to myself, He must love me that much! even though i don't understand why He allows bad things to happen in my life. Thank you =)
I've felt like that all year since I came back from the desert last year as I struggle with my career. Since I was old enough to carry memories, I quickly learned that nothing ever came to us (me and my family) easy. It's a reoccurring joke in my family that if we get something easy, somethings VERY wrong. I was at my breaking point and I heard this on K-Love. I hear it every morning as I dread going to work and deal with the day's issues. And I feel better at the end of the song.
God will never bring bad things on you, He only gives good gifts...the enemy came to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have an abundant life. God won't put you through bad things to change you, that's not scriptural. However he'll take bad situations that the devil puts you through and turn them around for the glory of His Kingdom. Mike's story is amazing, and he is blessed, but what he's saying isn't Biblical, God would never put something bad on you! He is a GOOD God!
WOW! That was a rough story from Mike and I feel like my life has been rough but not as rough like Mike's story was cause I have been going through a lot in my life and I ask the same question of to wife God puts me in these rough situations and where He is wanting my life to go and what His purpose is for me in my life cause I feel like I still haven't figure out my life and gotten things together.
I'm not kidding I went trough the same thing! I was in my final tournament of my season of indoor soccer and I was tripped into the boards and broke my neck! My dreams of pursuing sports at a professional level where dashed. And because I couldn't train or work out I picked up my brothers guitar and started writing music! God has been teaching me so much over the past three years! And now I share through my music too! We serve a crazy God!
This song help me so much in a moment of tribulation where I felt like nothing made sense. I know that You my God are here with each and everyone of us. Your love is amazing.
Every single time I listen to Mike's story, it hits me harder. As a young musician myself, there's nothing I want more than to have a story like this that points straight past me and to the cross of Jesus Christ. Thank you, Mike Donehey, for being one of my biggest examples and role models in modern music! Continue to inspire the generation coming up behind you to live a life that shines with the light of Christ!
your video journals are one of the reasons why i love tenth avenue north so much. your band is truly a treasure i want to keep for life! thanks for this message! ^_^
I listen to all the songs on their album but this stuck out to me so much. This is truly an AMAZING song and I was so blessed to play it for church offering. Thanks Mike! Come back to VA again for a concert ;D
First time I heard his accident story was at the March 8th Concert in Hawaii. Same questions... Same (real) reaction. God has his plan and our challenge is to accept it and see it HIS way.
Brother Mike. I just want to thank you so much for sharing this testimony. Everything in my life that I thought was certain have been shaken. Even my faith. Those words you said about obeying God n' all is EXACTLY what I've been saying. But now I'm surveying and searching to see what God is doing in my crisis. Thank you for this encouragement. Love you in the Lord for this gem of your testimony. Thank you!
It's like, he is "restarting" you by making you suffer, so when you get better you think the way God wants you to think. It takes an experience like Mike's to really capture the fullness of God
Mike, I appreciate your sincerity, it is refreshing to clearly hear the love of Jesus and His conviction in your life through your vlogs and music! Praying for you all!
thank you for this...I have seen it before, but this is so encouraging in a time of great transition in my life...never thought I would do some of the things I am, but I know God is taking me places.
Absolutely brought tears to my eyes. As he spoke, I could feel every word piercing my heart. What an amazing testimony and calling. God bless this band! Truly my favorite!
you have brought such a light into many dark places. your words and music feed the empty spirit. God is good. Just look at the cross, stare at it and see how even the most despicable act in history shines forth a beauty that is indescribable.
I don't even know what to say... Thank you so much for making this, and all of your other video journals, they've helped me through some of the hardest times in my life, especially right now. I hope one day I can thank you in person. You're an inspiration to me, and so many others. Please don't ever stop what you're doing.
WOW!! You know, God has a great sense of timing. We were just having a conversation about this very thing tonight. (I was doing a little complaining, :P ) And here He comes with the perfect answer! Thank you.
WOW...that is a pretty powerful testimony Mike. This song sums up exactly how I feel and what I am going thru in my life at this time. May God continue to bless you and the band and for you all to glorify God thru your music.
I am so encouraged by this. On hard nights I often come back to watching this video. It is such a great reminder of truth! It was really nice watching your other video journal "You do All Things Well" then coming back to this one. God's will doesn't always line up with our desires, and thank goodness for that. How wonderful to have a God who knows exactly what we need. It was in the hardest of times that God showed me what it means to live by faith. Lord, You do all things well. Thanks for being such an encouragement, Tenth Avenue North!
Amen Bob Marshall, and that was in my mind as well when I started to listen to this message, but listening to the whole message all the way through, you realize that Mike is going in a different direction, giving a good message on why sometimes troubles are necessary. (Clay in the Masters hand). There are so many good messages on this subject.... Thanks for pointing this out though, a very good point to make! God bless!
It's like Pope Benedict XVI said, "The world will promise you comfort, but you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness." If we follow God life won't be comfortable, it won't be easy, but through the trials and struggles and suffering that God sends our way He will make us great :)
I don't even know where I am right now as far as my relationship with God, I think I've become almost apathetic, but when I watched this I just started crying, it was like God was telling me that He is working in my life
Its so true when he said, Heavenly Father put us through a trial to help us become better.
I am feeling my own chaos crashing down on me but I got to rememember every trial is a blessing and it help make us who we are today and every day
Dude, Praise God!! bro, my Dad had a stroke at 2:30AM in Feb. 2012.

it's as if God was speaking directly to me. through you. thank you.
My life is proof, God will let you hurt, but He will turn it around somehow.
hey, i don't know who you are or what you're going through but i just want to say that I'm praying for you.you must be going through a bunch of stuff right now, but i pray that you will see that God has something for you. that he is there for you even though you can't see him and i pray that he will ease your pain.I'm not going to pretend that i know what your going through but what i will do is tell you. you have two people that heard your cry through your post who are praying for you.God bless
People can say they don't believe or its a joke or whatever, but just be confident in your faith. Watching this video makes me many to be more confident and faithful and trust God even more. Thank you. God bless!
:`) God has never left me in all those times... I can't believe I ever questioned him
I was walking through that storm just a few weeks ago, i cried myself to sleep every night for almost a month.

"If you could spend one day with any person, dead or alive, who would it be?"
Whenever I'm asked that question, the answer - HANDS DOWN - is Mike Donehey.
I really needed this tonight! God does work in the storms, and if we rely on Him to help us through, we can get through!

Great Testimony!! God changes people! If we choose,He can do great things with us....
God is so perfect. He loves the imperfect. His heart breaks for those who reject him. He doesn't want to send anyone to hell, but He will if He needs to. He speaks True LOVE through His son Jesus Christ. Truth hurts, but it's our fuel as Christians. We thrive on God's truth.

I think that Tenth Avenue North met me before they wrote lots of there songs. Worn is one of those. I really like these guys and I have memorized most of there songs! God definately knew what He was doing when He asked you guys to sing. You guys have encouraged me and even in the midst of struggles, I know He is there. I would like to thank You, God, for all You do, and thank you T.A.North for all you have done too! You have no idea....
Tenth Avenue North. you're such an inspiration to me. the message made me realized that God is always there for me no matter what the circumstances.
This guy is such a treasure. Possibly my favorite human ever.
...I wonder how much more beautiful Jesus is in person.
Profound. I am coming out on the other side of one of the most difficult storms in my life thus far. Never did I think God was not there. Pivotal. I am not sure the 'ending' yet, but God is ALWAYS great...even in the storms. For anyone battling their 'demon,' you are NOT alone. God IS there. Reach out. God bless. ❤️
God is incredible!
Please don't stop making these video journals.....they touch me every time. You are so gifted by God. Thank you for obeying Him. :)
"God said no - It's not your circumstances that need to change, it's you. And sometimes to change us, He's got to put us through the worst things possible."
For 320 days I have been looking and looking for the answer, and I found it. This is what I've needed for the past 320 days. Thank you so much. I thank God for leading you to post this. It has made a huge impact on me and changed my mind about my situation completely! I can't thank you enough.
"Let the cross be the evidence." Such good stuff! Our God redeems!
without pain we wouldn't know happniess and without happiness we wouldn't know pain. Heavenly father put us through a trial to teach us. To help us learn to be better and to understand. without trial we wouldn't be the person we are today. every trial is blessing no matter how hard it is. Also to remind us he is always there by ourside helping us. He is amazing.
I'm tired and I am worn, O' Lord. I believe Lord but help my unbelief. The storm has and is long, difficult and very exhausting. Please give me your strength O' Lord. Give me the courage to carry this cross. O' Lord, help when I am afraid I won't make through. Father, I love you! You know that I do but I am so tired and worn. Please just touch me, O' Lord. Heal my mind and my body O' Lord. I ask and I pray this in Jesus'holy name and through Jesus'precious blood. Thank you, Lord Jesus!
Thank you for telling the story of the song "Worn." God bless you always! Amen
I am walking through the biggest storm I have ever been through, and I have gone through a lot of hard/bad things in life. Please pray for me. Such a great video. Thank you God for letting him speak so powerfully for you. Please continue to bless him and his family. In Jesus Name, Amen.
What an amazing message, and so true, it is in those moments that God seems so far that He is probably doing something great, even if we can't see it yet.
I am in awe of His love for me and for everyone! And I can actually say I am thankful for the pain. Whatever it takes to know His love!
This video really got to me because I've struggled with the fact that God gave me pain.
When I was 7 I was molested and It just spun my life out of control I got into so much sin. I always thought God just left my life to evil. But God has started this healing process within me. That redemption you were talking about makes so much sense now. Pain just gives me this spectrum of how good Gods love and grace is. God brings beauty from ashes for reals :) Thank you T Ave North for your ministry
you are so right Mike, the only reason i haven't given up on life is the thought of Jesus died in the lowest way possible( hanging on the cross) so i said to myself, He must love me that much! even though i don't understand why He allows bad things to happen in my life. Thank you =)
I can't thank you enough for allowing God to used you as a vessel to reveal his grace & mercy. I've had a fairly rough life
Wow. This song touched me before I saw this, but this just hit home. I thank Jesus for you, Mike.
I've felt like that all year since I came back from the desert last year as I struggle with my career. Since I was old enough to carry memories, I quickly learned that nothing ever came to us (me and my family) easy. It's a reoccurring joke in my family that if we get something easy, somethings VERY wrong. I was at my breaking point and I heard this on K-Love. I hear it every morning as I dread going to work and deal with the day's issues. And I feel better at the end of the song.
God was indeed make some ways to goodness from madness. He always Help us...as long we be Still on His Grace through His Son Yeshua the Messiah....
Worn saved my life. Thank you, tenth ave. Forever greatful.
It´s true that Jesus is THE WAY,THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE and his paths are much better than ours although we always tend to reject HIS plans
Wow...God is so amazing...thank you i need this word of encouragement..Godbless you Mike
God will never bring bad things on you, He only gives good gifts...the enemy came to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have an abundant life. God won't put you through bad things to change you, that's not scriptural. However he'll take bad situations that the devil puts you through and turn them around for the glory of His Kingdom. Mike's story is amazing, and he is blessed, but what he's saying isn't Biblical, God would never put something bad on you! He is a GOOD God!
WOW! That was a rough story from Mike and I feel like my life has been rough but not as rough like Mike's story was cause I have been going through a lot in my life and I ask the same question of to wife God puts me in these rough situations and where He is wanting my life to go and what His purpose is for me in my life cause I feel like I still haven't figure out my life and gotten things together.
Thanks for writing this great song. I screwed up this past year, and if not for this song and the word of God I wouldn't be here today
I'm not kidding I went trough the same thing! I was in my final tournament of my season of indoor soccer and I was tripped into the boards and broke my neck! My dreams of pursuing sports at a professional level where dashed. And because I couldn't train or work out I picked up my brothers guitar and started writing music! God has been teaching me so much over the past three years! And now I share through my music too! We serve a crazy God!
This song help me so much in a moment of tribulation where I felt like nothing made sense. I know that You my God are here with each and everyone of us. Your love is amazing.
Thank you Lord for this amazing testimony. Amazing are the plans you have for us.
Every single time I listen to Mike's story, it hits me harder. As a young musician myself, there's nothing I want more than to have a story like this that points straight past me and to the cross of Jesus Christ. Thank you, Mike Donehey, for being one of my biggest examples and role models in modern music! Continue to inspire the generation coming up behind you to live a life that shines with the light of Christ!
your video journals are one of the reasons why i love tenth avenue north so much. your band is truly a treasure i want to keep for life! thanks for this message! ^_^
I listen to all the songs on their album but this stuck out to me so much. This is truly an AMAZING song and I was so blessed to play it for church offering. Thanks Mike! Come back to VA again for a concert ;D
First time I heard his accident story was at the March 8th Concert in Hawaii. Same questions... Same (real) reaction. God has his plan and our challenge is to accept it and see it HIS way.
God, THANK YOU FOR MIKE DONEHEY!!!!!!!!! He blesses everyone!! :)
Right here for you as is God!!! He will hold you always!
Brother Mike. I just want to thank you so much for sharing this testimony. Everything in my life that I thought was certain have been shaken. Even my faith. Those words you said about obeying God n' all is EXACTLY what I've been saying. But now I'm surveying and searching to see what God is doing in my crisis. Thank you for this encouragement. Love you in the Lord for this gem of your testimony. Thank you!
This video to this day still touches me!
It's like, he is "restarting" you by making you suffer, so when you get better you think the way God wants you to think. It takes an experience like Mike's to really capture the fullness of God
Mike, I appreciate your sincerity, it is refreshing to clearly hear the love of Jesus and His conviction in your life through your vlogs and music! Praying for you all!
thank you for this...I have seen it before, but this is so encouraging in a time of great transition in my life...never thought I would do some of the things I am, but I know God is taking me places.
Awesome story about how GodI can take something so painful and make it into something beautiful.
Absolutely brought tears to my eyes. As he spoke, I could feel every word piercing my heart. What an amazing testimony and calling. God bless this band! Truly my favorite!
I need prayer!
you have brought such a light into many dark places. your words and music feed the empty spirit. God is good. Just look at the cross, stare at it and see how even the most despicable act in history shines forth a beauty that is indescribable.
I don't even know what to say... Thank you so much for making this, and all of your other video journals, they've helped me through some of the hardest times in my life, especially right now. I hope one day I can thank you in person. You're an inspiration to me, and so many others. Please don't ever stop what you're doing.
Wow, it is AMAZING to see how God works in the ways that He does just so we r able to do the plans that He has planned for out lives
Beautiful message. Glory to God!!
Mike you're such a BIG blessing in my life. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you Brother, this was the second second song I listened to, brought me relief that I am not alone in the narrow path, God bless.
WOW!! You know, God has a great sense of timing. We were just having a conversation about this very thing tonight. (I was doing a little complaining, :P ) And here He comes with the perfect answer! Thank you.
WOW...that is a pretty powerful testimony Mike. This song sums up exactly how I feel and what I am going thru in my life at this time. May God continue to bless you and the band and for you all to glorify God thru your music.
I had no idea until this month. God, You are so good! Beauty for ashes! I like that. Art out of chaos!
I met mike, he was so exhausted after the concert but talked to me as if we were old friends haha I love tenth ave:)
I am so encouraged by this. On hard nights I often come back to watching this video. It is such a great reminder of truth! It was really nice watching your other video journal "You do All Things Well" then coming back to this one. God's will doesn't always line up with our desires, and thank goodness for that. How wonderful to have a God who knows exactly what we need. It was in the hardest of times that God showed me what it means to live by faith. Lord, You do all things well.
Thanks for being such an encouragement, Tenth Avenue North!
This is such an amazing story! I am so inspired. I'm seriously crying
thank you for this. I love these video journals. they help me desire the Lord more and more. they're very encouraging.
Every word mike said is so true.
Wow what a powerful message Thank you
Amen Bob Marshall, and that was in my mind as well when I started to listen to this message, but listening to the whole message all the way through, you realize that Mike is going in a different direction, giving a good message on why sometimes troubles are necessary. (Clay in the Masters hand). There are so many good messages on this subject.... Thanks for pointing this out though, a very good point to make! God bless!
God has used you mike! in many amazing ways!
Thanks Mike for sharing your story!
God bless you man
God could do it with only a thought. The drama is for us, we need a show to get the point.
Mike, thanks so much for sharing. These videos really mean a lot to mean. I feel like I learn so much about how to walk with God from them.
Literaly started crying my eyes out this is so amazing
Every video journal touches my heart so much.
Thank you.
It's like Pope Benedict XVI said, "The world will promise you comfort, but you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness." If we follow God life won't be comfortable, it won't be easy, but through the trials and struggles and suffering that God sends our way He will make us great :)
