“Carpenter, Carpenter”

This one is close to my heart.

Some of you know that 2021 was a really hard year for me. February brought pain like I’d never experienced- physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. I had surgery pain from a hysterectomy, and a combination of the rest from a mental breakdown. Healing from those experiences has been a very challenging journey- and I still have some effects that I continue to work through. I am so grateful for how far I’ve come, and for the transformative affect it has had on my life.

The Carpenter in this song is my Savior, Jesus Christ. I have come to know his kind, gentle, steady hands better as He has guided me through my healing process. I love Him and I trust Him.

I love the thought I’ve heard various times that when we experience suffering, we have experienced a small taste of what our Savior experienced suffering for all of us, and therefore have a unique ability to succor (or run to) others who are suffering. It is partially with this intent that I share my song with you. Perhaps it can reach someone whose heart is aching and needs extra hope and comfort. If there’s two things I’ve learned it’s these: God never leaves us alone, and He ALWAYS makes beauty from ashes.

Love

Laura
