So I wrote a song

A few days ago I wrote a song. But first, some back story...

About a year ago my cousin was involved in a very serious DUI accident. The past year has been rough on him and my family and he has been facing time in prison.

On April 20, I was thinking a lot about the situation. I was thinking how hard this has been on my aunt to watch her son go through this process and I decided to write a song about it. Later that day my mom called me with some bad news and told me that my cousin had been sentenced to 3-6 years on that day. I hadn't really kept up much with the process to be honest and had no idea that he would even be going to court that day.

It is truly amazing to see that God put that in my heart during one of the hardest days of my aunt's life. I'm usually the first person to write something off as a coincident but if this isn't proof that God is looking over us in times of need, I'm not sure what is.

I decided that I would make a quick video of the song to send to my aunt to try and comfort her. You can see it here.
