Weak Things Strong
This song came from Ether chapter 12, but it really came from living inside a season where I needed that chapter to be true. I have been in a period of searching, waiting, applying, wondering, and trying to understand what direction Heavenly Father wants me to go next. On paper, it has been stressful. There have been plenty of reasons to feel uncertain about the future, and if I am being honest, there are days where the practical side of life can feel loud. Work. Money. Timing. Identity. Responsibility. The whole thing can start pressing on your chest if you let it. But what has surprised me most is that I have not felt abandoned in it. I have felt oddly confident. Not because everything is figured out. It is not. Not because I have some perfect map. I do not. But because I have been reaching for the Spirit, asking Heavenly Father where He wants me, and trying to pay attention to the direction He gives piece by piece. Somewhere in that process, faith has become more than an idea to me. It has felt like a hidden power. That is what Ether 12 does so beautifully. It talks about faith as something that moves people before the outcome is visible. It gives people hope for a better world. It becomes an anchor to the soul. It makes men and women sure and steadfast. It leads them to glorify God. Then the chapter goes even deeper. My mom sent me the verses about weakness. Moroni is worried that people will mock his words, and the Lord answers him directly: fools mock, but grace is sufficient for the meek. If we come unto Christ, He will show us our weakness. He gives us weakness so we can be humble. And if we humble ourselves and have faith in Him, He will make weak things become strong. That hit me differently. Because sometimes weakness is not dramatic. Sometimes it is not a prison wall, a battlefield, or some massive visible trial. Sometimes it is sitting in your house wondering what comes next. Sometimes it is sending your name into rooms you have never been in. Sometimes it is trying to provide, trying to lead your family, trying to stay useful, trying to hear God clearly, and trying not to let fear become the loudest voice in the room. That is where this song came from. I used to read the stories of prophets and think about faith moving through ancient lives in ancient circumstances. Ether 12 talks about people who were strengthened, delivered, guided, and made powerful through faith. Lately, I have started to understand that same pattern in a much more personal way. The Lord still does that. He still works through ordinary people in ordinary houses, in modern uncertainty, with bills on the counter and questions about the future. He may not always give the whole road at once. But He gives enough direction to take the next step. He gives enough peace to keep walking. He gives enough hope to keep you from collapsing under the weight of what you do not know yet. That is the hidden power of faith. It is not pretending things are easy. It is not acting like stress is not real. It is knowing that God is watching, arranging, preparing, correcting, strengthening, and leading even when the path is not fully visible. This song is my testimony that weak things really can become strong in Christ. Not eventually in some distant, poetic way. Right now. In the middle of the wait. In the middle of uncertainty. In the middle of searching for what comes next. Faith has helped me stand steadier than I should have been able to stand. Hope has had weight to it. The Spirit has kept pulling my eyes back toward the Lord. I do not know the whole road yet. But I know who is leading me.
I Smile
This song was not written from a place of ease. It was written from nights that feel heavy. The kind where the house is quiet, but your mind isn’t. Where your chest feels tight, and you’re searching for peace that doesn’t come the way you expect it to. No mountains move. No skies open. No clear answers come. And yet… something remains. This song came from hearing a man speak about a life that, by any measure, was full of hardship. He didn’t soften it. He didn’t pretend it was easy. He spoke plainly about loss, confusion, and prayers that felt unanswered. And still... he smiled. Not because life was kind to him. But because of Jesus Christ. That is what this song testifies of. At the center of it all is one line: “I smile for the scars You chose to save.” Christ did not rise from the grave untouched. He rose with scars. He kept them. The resurrected Savior still bears the marks in His hands and His feet... not as weakness, but as witness. The wounds remained because the redemption remained. Those scars are proof that He chose the cross. That He descended below all things. That He carried what would crush us, wore what we became, and paid what we could never repay. So when this song says, “my debts have all been paid,” it is not metaphor. It is truth of the atonement of Jesus Christ and what he made possible with his perfect sacrifice. The weight may still be felt. The questions may still come. The night may still be long. But the debt is gone. And if the debt is gone, then despair does not get the final word. That is why this song exists. It is a testimony that Jesus Christ lives. That His Atonement is real. That His mercy is present—even in the quiet, unseen moments where nothing dramatic happens. This song is for those moments. For the nights when all you have is breath, and a prayer, and the smallest piece of peace you can’t explain. There is a reason to smile. His hands still bear it. “I Smile”
Don't You Quit
This song was written because my mother asked me to write about endurance out of the blue. I love this topic. It's something that I have studied in years past, both on a spiritual level, but also on a physical level. When I thought about endurance, I did not think about grand heroic moments. I thought about Mondays. Repetition. Fatigue. Staying engaged when nothing feels dramatic. The lyrics pull directly from counsel that has shaped me. Words from apostles that have stuck in my mind. Do not quit. Keep walking. The Lord loves effort. Press forward. Walk by faith. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, President Russell M. Nelson, President Hunter, Elder Bednar, and others all had those incredible one-liners that just keep me grounded. So I pulled them into the Chorus as a mantra to reiterate every time life fatigue sets in. This song is honest about distraction. About how easy it is to put God on silent while life stays loud. About how the rat race chews time thin and leaves little behind. Endurance is not flashy. It is showing up again. Listening again. Choosing again. This song exists to remind me and anyone listening that staying matters. Even when progress feels slow. Especially when it does.
