"A Love So Real (20th Anniversary Edition)" by Thoughts And Notions: Healing Through Unconditional Love


The 20th Anniversary Edition of “A Love So Real” by Thoughts And Notions is a reimagined classic of theirs. It has the 90’s pop/rock vibe, with a few modifications, and retells a message about God’s unwavering love. As the band recreates 20th Anniversary Editions of their favorites, it feels like stepping into a nostalgic time machine. The world has changed, but God's immense love for us has never changed! It's a message worth retelling for the many early-day fans that are now going through their mid-life challenges.

Thoughts And Notions - A Love So Real (20th Anniversary Edition)Thoughts and Notions sing about feelings of brokenness: “My days have darkened and it looked so bleak // For my troubles made me weak.” The song points out that we're not going to find the answer inside ourselves, “Though I had no hope // Though I had no love,” and here it comes.... “You’re my shining light.” No matter what we're going through, the key to real change is God! He paid it all for us, He prepared the way forward, “I’m saved by a love so real // For you have mended my shattered life.”

We all have moments in life where we feel defeated, “I thought that my life has become so useless // For I have stumbled and was lost,” but with God by your side there is always a way out. The song reassures us that we all may be redeemed through His love if we let Him come into our lives. This song is a song for wounded hearts and a reminder for all that God’s love for you is unconditional and that He wants to care and provide for you if you let Him.

(Related scripture: Psalm 103:3-4; Romans 5:8; Lamentations 3:22-23)

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Manna from Heaven" by Angela Charles: Trusting His Provision No Matter What

"Manna from Heaven" by Angela Charles is a beautiful reminder of God's faithfulness and encourages us to stand firm in every trial or challenge we may face. Angela highlights that "despite how difficult times may get, victory is the Lord's, and our enemy is defeated!"   The lyrics of the song are filled with examples of this confidence: "When water's deep and I can't stand // You are my mountain, God, You are my land." It's a reminder that even when we surrender, "When giving up, I lift my hands," God remains unshakable. The song recalls some of the miracles: "You sent Manna from Heaven // You split the Red Sea // You fed the 5000," and shows how this applies to us, "I know you won't forget me." As we have seen in the past and in the present, God provides and protects when we place our trust in Him and follow His lead.  God knows exactly where we are and what we are going through: "In darkest t...

"The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you There'll be no such thing as broken and all the old will be made new And the thought that makes me smile now even as the tears fall down Is that the only scars in Heaven, yeah, are on the Hands that hold you now"  Here are the full lyrics for this beautiful song: Lyrics: Verse 1] If I had only known the last time would be the last time I would have put off all the things I had to do I would have stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter Now what I'd give for one more day with you [Verse 2] 'Cause there's a wound here in my heart where something's missing And they tell me that it's gonna heal with time But I know you're in a place where all your wounds have been erased And knowing yours are healed is healing minŠµ [C...
