Seriously, if you don't know who she is, you should check out her website. Susan mentioned one of her songs ("Why It Matters") when I was in NY with her so I decided to check it out. I bought "Why It Matters" first and loved it so much that I bought the whole CD! The lyrics below are to my favorite song for now - "It's Going to Be Alright." For the sake of brevity, I didn't include the refrain everytime, but I trust your musical ability will let you know that some semblance of it happens after each verse :-)
It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright
I can tell by your eyes that you're not getting any sleep
And you try to rise above it, but feel you're sinking in too deep
Oh, oh I believe, I believe that
It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright
I believe you'll outlive this pain in you heart
And you'll gain such a strength from what is tearing you apart
Oh, oh I believe I believe that
When some time has past us, and the story if retold
It will mirror the strength and the courage in your soul
Oh, oh, I believe I believe,
I did not come here to offer you cliché's
I will not pretend to know of all your pain
Just when you cannot, then I will hold out faith, for you
I especially love the last verse. What a beautiful picture of what friendship in Christ should be about. I know that I'm thankful for friends who are willing to "hold out faith" for me when I cannot. And, I'm thankful for friends who are willing to let me tell them "it's going to be alright." Thanks for trusting me with your hurts. I love you and I miss you.

Oh my gosh and I love and miss you more than you could ever know right now! You're amazing! I LOVE YOU!!!
I am so glad Susan introduced you to Sara. That song is also my favorite!
Today I'm listening to the "All Right Here" CD. I recommend it as well... although I think if I were starting over, I wouldn't buy the whole thing.
I love Sara Groves too! Glad to read your blog tonight and also hear we share this in common.
It is great music!
