Series 1) 12 Praising His Name It’d been a week since the retreat. As soon as I got back from my mountaintop experience I went to the mall and bought my own J Moss CD. Not only did I understand every song, I felt myself connecting more and more with God through the music. My mom even knew his songs from me playing them over and over in my room. When she passed by to get to the laundry room, she sometimes heard it ’cause my room was right next to there. She even heard the music outside when I blasted it while I was cutting the grass or washing the cars. Since my dad was scarcely around the place, she and I had a much stronger bond. We both wanted to focus more on Christ. We were all about lifting Him up. And it wasn’t about God coming through. He’d already done enough by sending His Son to die on a cross for our sins. It was about us just giving God glory. Letting Him be enough to fill us, though life was somewhat uncertain. I needed God to show me what college to go to. As she started preparing Thanksgiving dinner, I went into the kitchen with my iPod in hand and started the music all over.
