Behind the Meaning: Breakthrough (Close To You)

Greetings MD Fans,

Allow me to pause and just thank all of you for the love you've been showing me.  I have to say that it warms my heart to see all this support.  I figured now that all the initial business from releasing an album is over, I can get back to blogging the meanings behind my songs.

The next song on the album is Breakthrough.  This is probably THE most interesting song on the album, because it was literally written in like 2 hrs.  I was going through some things (both personal and professional), and one day the load just got too heavy for me to bare.  I just got SO overwhelmed to where I told a friend at work "you know, i feel like sometimes you just gotta go to Hell and back just for things to go your way....just to break through the nonsense."  Little did I know, I was establishing the foundation for one of my favorite songs on the album.



The message is simple:  Its going to get dark sometimes, but just keep the faith while in those times.  Your joy will be restored in the morning time (Psalm 30:5).  But the encouragement in the song just doesnt stop there.  You are reminded in the song that declaring "You Wont Let Go" serves as confidence in God that He will provide a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13).

So I encourage you as I encourage myself.  Remember that even as you are going through your Hell...or your season for pain...or your darkness, the next natural progression is for Light to come.  Keep the faith, its always darkest before the dawn. (#Message)

Much love, God's People.

MD
