'Parking Lot' by Stephanie Merkus: Finding Grace in Unexpected Places


God can be found in the most unexpected of places! 'Parking Lot' by Stephanie Merkus is about those unexpected places. Stephanie takes you along on a very personal journey, from a drinking problem to His revelation of grace and redemption. The song reminds you that it doesn't matter where you are, maybe your stuck in traffic or sitting in a parking lot after a long day, God's love can find you. Stephanie sings about moments of surrender, where the FM dial of life tunes into the frequency of Godly intervention.

Stephanie Merkus - Parking LotWhat's in this song for you? Well, it's simple. Stephanie shares the truth that His life changing grace can come to you any time and any place, even in a parking lot. It's a song for anyone that feels stuck in the consequences of their mistakes, looking for some way out. Stephanie's story tells us that change is a promise waiting to happen as soon as we decide to turn towards God.

So, if you feel that your life is going nowhere, and you're looking for change, give 'Parking Lot' a listen. Let it give you the boost to make your next big leap in life. Because, sometimes, all it takes is to decide that you're done with the 'stuff' that is holding you back, and that you're ready to embrace God's love and guidance in your life.

Wherever you are, you're just one turn away from a new beginning.

(Related scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17; John 8:12; Ephesians 2:8-9)
