Welcome to my new blog series! I'm really glad you are here. Let's jump right in...
This blog exists to give you a better idea of what Lacy Brooks Music is all about. I titled it "This Is Faith..." because I write music, in large part, based on the idea that faith stands in the face of all the things the world says about what we are supposed to do, how we are supposed to act, and -most of all- who we are supposed to be.
What does that really mean? Well here is what the world says about me:
The world tells me that I can never be a successful artist. That being born with Cerebral Palsy, being from a broken home, not being the ideal body type, and being an introvert, somehow disqualifies me from having a successful career in music or -on some level- making any of my dreams come true. Moreover, the world says that my belief and reliance on God's promise despite these circumstantial things is completely nonsensical.
The world may be telling you similar things. It may be telling you that you can never achieve what you want, what you were born for, because you don't fit into the box the world is comfortable with. But here is the awesome part: we can do it anyways. The glory, friends, is in the triumph of realization that we are free from the expectations and limitations others may try to place on us. Faith is acting in the face of opposition, knowing God is faithful to His word. We don't have to give up, give in, compromise, or settle. The word, "realistic" does not have to mean more to us than the word "possible."
Throughout this blog, I will be sharing my music with you and hopefully encouraging you that when the world says you can't, you absolutely can. In the days to come I am going to be featuring each song from my EP released last year also titled "This is Faith." I'm going to break it down and really give you an in-deapth look at why I wrote each song, what it means to me now, and what I hope you will get from it.
May you be blessed and encouraged by this.
Cheers,
LB
