If anybody has heard my last album City Lights

Then you know my burden for St. Louis

My heart for my city

I been here my whole life

And um the hardest thing that me and my family have ever had to experience was

Having to leave our city

Um and often just hearing god's voice and

Having to trust that you're hearing god when he's asking to do something that goes

Contrary to probably what you'd have do

Um and those are the times when us trusting him and our faith in him are tested

Um so though now we're in Iowa City and it was difficult to leave St. Louis

We're seeing how god is doing something particularly in our lives

And that we believe would not have happened in St. Louis

Um but it took us to trust him

To trust that he was going to be taking care of us

Um before we would experience the growth that would along with it

So it's it's been hard

It's definitely been painful

Times of loneliness and frustration but

If I'm honest it has definitely been a growing pain
